Re: challenging myself on WW color choice
First, congratulations on choosing to paint your Healey in one of the original colors appropriate to the model. Wise choice.
Whatever you do with the color of your wire wheels, the good news is that it is easy to change, so a little experimentation there is fun and has no lasting or expensive consequence.
I like the look of black wire wheels as they give the car an aggressive, competition-car look. Maybe even an "outlaw" look, like a performance-upgraded car.
Red wire wheels on a BRG big Healey would likely be striking and interesting, and after all, red is the complementary color for green. See also
Complementary Colors.
Painting them a color matching the body, while not offensive, gives a flat, monochromatic look, and represents a "missed opportunity" to do something more interesting.
White would look like a duded-up parade car. If you wear a Shriner clown outfit when you drive it, then OK.
Yellow would also be striking, but with the BRG it is a Lotus-patented look and so why copy a different marque?
I can't imagine any variation of blue that would look acceptable with a BRG car.
Let's not waste time considering odd-ball colors such as brown, purple, etc.
My recommendation?
If you're feeling bold, try red.
If you're feeling like an outlaw, try black.
If you can't make up your mind, go with color silver-gray knowing that you can always easily change wheel colors if inspiration strikes you later. :banana:
