    Default 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


    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:




    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 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'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

    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.

    First of all those wheels are ugly.

    Second, get a wheel that has a nice offset to it.

    Somethin' with a little poke...

    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.

    Respect your decision...

    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.

    Meant no disrespect by that comment either.

    i know man, i respect your input 100%

    so many different opinions in this thread!! lol

    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....

    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.
