Green OR black rims?

[edpdx]

Still painting my M1009. I was wondering which color is correct as opposed to wich color looks best. The rims on my M1008 were Ultra Flat Black. They looked pretty good; but I'd like to know what y'all prefer.

Whatever you do, don't camo the wheels with two colors. It looks great when you're sitting still, but if you are moving, the whirling two colors actually attract the eye toward the movement, not camouflage it.

clintogf has an M1009 which has only been painted once, at the factory and it's wheels are green (matching the vehicle). I've never checked the date codes on the rims so I can't be 100% sure they are the originals, but the paint (and fade) matches the vehicle.

The four on my truck were faded black, the spare was green. They're all flat black now, I like that best.

According to the pub they are supposed to be black but I think they look better green.

My truck came from a cave in Norway and was never issued. The wheels are flat black and still have the original Firestone's on them that came with the truck. In fact, I didn't know that they lug nuts are actually shiny until I pulled the back wheels off to check for HMMWV wheel fitment and the paint chipped off of them. I vote that they came from the factory flat black.

My 1009 is painted in a three color desert pattern so I went with "dark earth brown". Looks pretty tough and doesn't show brake dust.

I think green looks nice against the black of the tires. It depends on that you like.

Mine came with green fronts and black backs. I think I like the look of the green ones a little better, but they both look good.

 

[lindyp38]

so they came from the cave that way...not the factory......

Black Rims

Not sure what each rim is painted on My M1028, havent picked her up yet. BUT my new ones are all black H1 wheels. I think black looks best on rims.

Seems like I never noticed until we went to the desert. Since then, there's always been a mix match of different colored rims. I drove a tan truck during desert storm which had black green and tan wheels.
