What color rims go with a red car?
1 Answers
Red cars can be paired with rims of any color, as there are no fixed requirements. Black rims: In the early days, cars mostly used steel rims because steel is prone to rusting—even stainless steel can rust—which can look very unsightly and even affect the rim's strength. Therefore, steel rims require anti-rust paint, typically black, as a base coat. When plastic decorative hubcaps are installed over them, the black base ensures that any gaps don't look too odd. Silver rims: Silver rims are made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum does not rust; instead, it reacts with oxygen in the air to form "aluminum oxide." This substance, commonly called "aluminum rust," tightly adheres to the surface of the aluminum rim, preventing further reaction between external air and the internal aluminum. As a result, aluminum alloy rims do not rust and do not require anti-rust paint.
