[Sammich]

Personally, I like this color. I think it goes good with white and its different.

i want that:yes:

[VQ35 Star]

Dude i so feel you on that one. I was actually thinkin blue, but then i was afraid it might turn out too i dont know ricey? should have just done it, BUT maybe next time.

the 3 colors i was wanting were gunmetal/metallic blue/metallic gold.

[DieselNuts]

I hear ya man. The thought of blue wheels was pretty shiity to me, but seeing it, I changed my mind with the quickness. One thing about having a white car is that the wheels can be damn near any color and look good if you do it right.

[VQ35 Star]

thats what i'm sayin. i should just have all of the wheels a different color, nope.

[DieselNuts]

you could do one side one color and the other side another. Kinda lame, but ive seen it and its not so bad.

[ATK_Designs]

I was going to suggest the same. People won't know. They only see 1 side of your car anyways.....If they don't pay attention, they'd be like wuh???? Deja Vu?????

[GirlieZ]

looks alot better i like that combo. def the only nice style rim that company puts out, they look more classy, others look gangsta

[DieselNuts]

My thoughts exactly :goodjob: you should do it Kev...if you ever decide to paint your wheels that is. I think they look great the way they are though.

[koolaidman]

looks 10x better!

[AnthonyF]

looks better...but I would have gone 2 other routes

1. WHITE

2. a darker gold/bronze.

since materials are at no expensive you can do it whenever u want.

[VQ35 Star]

materials cost me something, tape was $1.00, paint was $17.00, clear coat was $30.00 that said, Labor is also a ***** on the wheels, i don't think i'll be painting wheels again in a long time.

OH and TRYMY4.0 I think i have seen you many times on buford hwy near jimmy carter and pleasant hill. somewhere near there lol. i looked at your stang and that **** is HOTTTTT, or i think it was you, all i really remember was the wheels.

thanks brotha. +8 for uuuuuuuuuuuu

Honestly I would like to see you do your wheels white. do one side a dark rich bronze and the other side alpine white.

[VQ35 Star]

ehh, i saw a white Z with white wheels, i didn't like it i like having some contrast between body and wheel, i don't know thats just me.

[AnthonyF]

^at least u have a valid explanation. Do you go to school to paint? which?

[DieselNuts]

some cars can pull it off, some cant.

[AnthonyF]

some cars can pull it off, some cant.with deep dish rims, its hard to pull it off. thats why i powder coated my dishs

[VQ35 Star]

^at least u have a valid explanation. Do you go to school to paint? which?

i go to lanier tech, lol i know i know, but it was the only school in GA i could find with a good refinishing program, also took body work. it's a all in one class called Automotive Collision Repair.

But I choose to just refinish, and thats all i do at work too, well paint prep and detail too which is a *****.

My house is down the street on Hwy 60.

[eYezs1ck]

damn wut class is that? nice wheels

[DieselNuts]

very true. coating the dishes body color on any car looks good. it seems to be a new trend thats comming out.

[VQ35 Star]

dude, im not going to bash you for going to school. anyone who does has their head too far up their ass. i was going to go there but decided not to school. My house is down the street on Hwy 60.

dude why not? come down and paint your OWN **** :D

[AnthonyF]

dude why not? come down and paint your OWN **** :Dlol. I graduated HS and just went to work. didnt really feel like going to school. I've painted a few items (im no pro). Painted a entire car, painted a front end of a honda accord and some odds and ends parts. lol

[AnthonyF]

very true. coating the dishes body color on any car looks good. it seems to be a new trend thats comming out.

you kno, it really isnt. Not many people are doing it which is good. Most people want the "polish" look but the "chrome" lip is MUCH nicer. More people are doing that ugly ass old school look. yuck

[Tree]

clean

[DieselNuts]

Yeah, i hear ya. It is a good thing that its not turning into a fad like painting the outside of your lip red. I saw a lime green charger (new bodystyle) that had a design with black stripes. I wish I took a pic of it because there is now way you can get a mental picture with my shiity description, but it looked really good. His wheels were 22"s with black spokes and a lime green lip. Shiit looked SICK. Im sure you would have thought the same, especially comming from a Mopar family.

[VQ35 Star]

^ that does sound sick.
so what are you still doing sitting there, go hunting and take some pics!

[b16ftw]

looks good man

[DC2HiGh]

nice color, looks good on your car

[AnthonyF]

Sh*t was beautiful made me do a double take...4 times. lol.

[boosted b]

IM ON IT!

This isnt the same car, but its similar. The pic looks okay, but IRL, the color really POPs and looks a LOT better.

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j181/diggler24/cars/green.jpg

[AnthonyF]

yea, the car ur talking about is sorta the same...more black i think. It was at Kongs Body shop for about a week. dunno if it was painted there or not.

[DieselNuts]

yeah, it had more black. I just googled "green dodge charger black wheels" and I found this. Funny thing about it is that he lives in GA too. The one we are talking about looked a lot better. It was also at Yellow River Collision for a while too. Thats where I saw it. Im not 100% but I think they painted it.

[DieselNuts]

Here it is, but this isnt the finished product. This was after the first stage of paint.

http://www.yellowrivercollision.com/projects.html

[VQ35 Star]

hmm, i have a buddy working at yellow river

[khaxnguyen]

it looks str8.. but i think my eyes are deceiving me or the picture is.. the THIRD pict looks like the wheels have different lip sizes... hrmmm?

[DieselNuts]

whats his name? I had a buddy that worked there for a little while.

[AnthonyF]

it looks str8.. but i think my eyes are deceiving me or the picture is.. the THIRD pict looks like the wheels have different lip sizes... hrmmm?lol. the joys of having RWD

[VQ35 Star]

His name was Devon, he was a member on here, it used to be painted red and black, now it's silver and black with red pin stripping.
And Nguyen, the lip sizes ARE different, staggared. the wheels in the rear are wider than the front. RWD FTW!

[AnthonyF]

PS: look at my sig and VQ's sig...notice anything?

[VQ35 Star]

Yea I do notice something..why the hell would you get different width of wheels, BAKA

I can't believe he just said that....

[DieselNuts]

who said that?

[VQ35 Star]

someone up there asked why were my wheels different widths.

[13Bracer]

[VQ35 Star]

Nice rims man it looks like you did a good job on them. Made the car look 10x better.

[takume]

[GirlieZ]

OMG you cant be serious? did you tell him to grow some balls?

[AnthonyF]

OMG you cant be serious? did you tell him to grow some balls?

why? he wasnt questioning his manly hood nor was he talking sh*t. He didnt know that you could run different widths on RWD cars...

[boostedb16]

what color gold is that. i have white wheels on my car now and i think i want something gold w/polished lip.

[GirlieZ]

why? he wasnt questioning his manly hood nor was he talking sh*t. He didnt know that you could run different widths on RWD cars...
i was joking with vq35star. and it was just some random joe on the street so i doubt he would vq would be kicking anyone, at least not over that. its just a car. plus stock z33's have have 18x8s all the way around at least they did 03-05 (track models not included i think).

[VQ35 Star]

well now there 19x9.5 in rears :D and 19x9 in the front. +35 all around.

[cactusEG]

not bad at all..

[khaxnguyen]

hrm that doesnt explain why the lips seems to be bigger in the rear than front..? it seems like that on ur wheels too... well i'm sorta new to this car thing. still trying to learn..

[AnthonyF]

maybe if you read everyones post and not just mine you would have learned something. RWD cars have an advantage of running different offset wheels and having multiple options on rims. from no dish to 4" dish's. Shoot some widebodys have 5-6" dish's. You can do this with FWD cars but its more difficult and to match the right offset wheel to your car takes time and money b/c those rims are usually a little more expensive.

The wheels are all the same size, but the tires are different widths.

The reason for having different size wheels from front to back is all about handling (when you do it for function and not for looks anyway...). The 95 BMW M3 had wheels that were 7.5" wide on all 4 corners. In 96 they changed the rear wheels to 8" and kept the 7.5" on the front. The reason behind this was to reduce oversteer (when you turn in and your ass end slides out).

[khaxnguyen]

coool thanks for the reply! TryMy4.0 i usually dont read much if the topic isnt all that interesting because this is basically about his wheels being painted. i didnt have enough time anyways.
