View Full Version : the black rims are out.

Well, they will be soon anyway....
I'm sick and tired of them. when i bought them a couple years ago, they were exactly what i wanted for the look of my car, but it's time to let 'em go. So, hopefully a little later on this year i'll be picking up some Enkei RSV's. Shortly after... they'll be getting painted :ninja:
After looking at many, many pictures of yellow s2k's/350's and other assorted banana boats equipped with Takata green rims, they're really starting to grow on me.
for example:
http://a249.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/1/l_f59244e7639b87d7527bed931d3cacf8.jpg
Now i've never been a fan of the crazy colors on many of the "jdm" rides out there, but yesterday dkjohnson's Si got the wheels turning in my head. the color combo on his car is so crazy, but it works IMO. so, i did a little photochop.
as i said, i'm just testing the waters -- i haven't decided to go with any of these colors yet. Your :2cents: will be appreciated.
(please keep the hyundai hate to a minimum also. this is about colors and the look of the car -- not the car itself. i know there are plenty of haters out there.)
edit: blue removed. didn't care for it.

Better off with black. Wrong section, BTW, since there is a rim/tire section. Later, QD.

I know if I were really on your nuts, you wouldn't be asking me to get off them. There is also a section where you can ask about wheels and tires. You want to start something with me, go for it. Of course you, unlike the newer idiots, know I'm no easy mark. All your wheel color choices are ugly as fucc. So what? Later, QD.

I love the Axis wheels you posted up JITB -- i was actually toying around with the idea of using some of the new Axis/Rays Circuit wheel in black w/yellow stripe.

if you're tired of black id say go with white.
if you decided to go with the green i think you'd need to drop the car MORE (which i doubt you want to do) and/or add ground effects to compliment such an outstanding wheel color(such as a lip). with white I would make the same modifications but its not gonna be as weird as the green if you decided to leave the vehicle as is.

However, please respect mine when I tell you that I believe no matter how hard you try it just won't look as good as it may in your head.

i'm trying to stay away from polished.. i dunno -- it's too much like chrome to me, and i've always despised chrome. I'll do a few photochops to see though....

Photoshop them purple and post a bytch up. see what people think. and you want different right? how many Tibs, much less anycar, do you see with purple wheels. ive never seen it. i think it would look cool. just my opinion

bronze just because it's still a normal wheel color, but it gives a "down to business" kinda raw metal feel wihtout going polished. I think a nice even dark bronze works well for any car or any color.

I'm with QD
on your car go with black. don't do the green or the white. it just does not look right
if you go with another color try a bronze, and check different shades of it
