Opinions on Black w/Blue Lip LS Mesh?

[steelmatt6]

I know it is my car, but I just wanted some opinions. I used paint to edit the pic, so yeah, it kind of sucks, but you get the idea!

Keep em stock

or black with blue lip?

[white_rice]

would look ok but id keep it like it is

[ItsBlack]

I like the Black with Blue lip, you dont see that very often

[steelmatt6]

It's a much brighter blue in the pic than I would actually paint it. Can someone photoshop it for me? Windows Paint FTL. That would be great!

[Catnip]

No

[allout13]

black makes wheels makes a wheel look like a hubcab from a distance imo

not sure what else would work. maybe white? blue lip is a nice touch though especially since that seems to be the theme youre shooting for

[lanning]

wait until you can get wheels IMO

[bigdare23]

Painted OEM rims = played out + gay

[firby911]

I would leave them the way they are.

[DynamicSound]

Stock 100%. Only do colored wheels/lips if there is something on your vehicle that ties in that color. Otherwise you look like you just bought some wheels like that and slapped them on the car. Same effect as someone putting on a non-painted body kit.

good point. It would match the engine bay, and that's about it.

Blue, Black, And Silver go well together IMO

But it all depends. :goodjob: I like either way, and one way involves less work...

[5speed]

do it, cuz i might buy a gs that looks just like yours and jock your shit lol, but seriously the blue would look good, a bright orange would too

[steelmatt6]

bright orange? not sure about that!

this is what I am trying to aim for

[5speed]

the bright orange would fine if the lips outer edge was striped but not the inner well

Are you being sarcastic? :thinking: LOL

I can't picture what you mean. Blue on a silver car go well IMO, but orange...not so much.

[5speed]

no for real, ive seen it once and it looked so good, not bad at all

[amandDA]

looks good as long as its that blue.imo

[5speed]

like this Axis wheel http://www.axiswheels.com/wheels/halo/halo_colors/halo_orange.jpg

[1SICKLEX]

Painting lips on most stock wheels is a no no, just doesn't come out well

LISTEN TO THIS MAN!!!

[5speed]

^ I agree sell the stock ones and buy new ones

[steelmatt6]

True. No sense in "trashing" good stock wheels. Like I said, it's just testing waters. :)

But if I could find a nice quality set of rims, black with a blue lip, then I would be all over that.

[singhondeck]

your a ricer, that is all

[Glides]

bright orange? not sure about that!

Dude, you can get those wheels for under 800 bucks with tires.....

Get that stock shit off your car and get some wheels. So tired of played out stock wheels trying to be passed off as cool.

[G.C]

Get better wheels and think about painting.

[EP3Hatch]

I would leave the wheels like they are and save up for some better wheels.

[greasemunkey]

rough up the lip a little so the paint will stick, then mix clearcoat with a little bit of blue and just do the lip, It will look like its anodized blue. or I could do it but I charge ;)

x2. Why don't you just buy the wheels you posted?

Save some money, buy quality stuff. No one will be impressed by shoddily painted stock wheels.

[greasemunkey]

they will be impressed if they arent rattle canned ;) clearcoat does wonders

[240sx_boi]

polish these they will look way better but it will be a pain in the ass if u try to tho but thats my 2cents

[goi_ek]

polished FTW

[Glides]

No they won't. Stock wheels are not impressive in the least, no matter if you polish em, pain em or gold plate em.

If you painted photo-realistic naked porno stars all the way around the lips and made the centers where they squirted out Vodka and Red Bull on command, I would be impressed with stock wheels. Other than that, not a chance.

[greasemunkey]

no disrespect but, if he likes it and doesn't want to spend big bucks for nice name brand then let it be. I've had nice aftermarket and stock. it all can look good. some people just want a decent dd that they don't jdm the fuck out of

[Enjoi_yo]

:goodjob:

[Teg Boy]

save your money

this might be different for mustangs but i couldnt afford black bullitts on my car so i took the time and painted my silver bullitts(OEM) right. not rattle can bull shit, or that duplicolor can paint but a true Base/Clear paint job on em. took me 2 days but it will take a chizzle to get the paint of my wheels.

it also helps working at a paint/body shop lol

[Humphrizzle]

bright orange? not sure about that!

http://www.bigwheels.net/wheels/sportmax/006_black_anodized_blue_lip_large.jpg


you're aiming low.

[VQ35 Star]

just do it, and if you dont like it get some aftermarket wheels.

[teh_mugen18]

It would most definately be different, but a combination thats REALLY easy to make it look bad.... i guess if it looks bad, you could always go back and use some Aircraft remover on em, GL

[Drummerboy]

im looking into XXR 006's too. Not sure on color yet. Wish I could fit a deep lip. I like the red lip too.

[BK4000]

I like the black it's different

[Dylan]

im lazy as hell.so i'd just leave them alone if they were mine, not worth the trouble..but if you really want to try it feel free to go at it.they're your wheels.

[bloodline]

the black wit the blue lip looks pretty hot...i like how your teg looks as is tho..it just looks super clean..nothin to crazy..i understand how your prolly just gettin bored with the wheels tho... i say go for it bro! im about to switch it up myself

[Ajdgotskillz]

i like the stock look but at the same time the black with blue lip is different i would keep it stock though
