    Default 2rotor got some new shoes for the DD EG8; opinions wanted

    I traded my stock e30 wheels for some 17x7.5 +35 BBS RX.
    The only problem is, they need to be refinished, which is no big deal,
    but I'm looking for ideas on a color.

    sorry about the pics, my G1 doesnt exactly have the best camera on it,
    white balance kind of sucks, as well as the light sensing, but whatever.
    stock:

    e30 rims

    BBS RX


    a little closer shot..


    i know my new wheels and my car are both dirty, i only had time to wash one car this weekend, and my DD wasnt top priority...
    anyway, what color would look good? i was kind of thinking of bright silver, but idk...
    a more aggresive drop is coming too, after some body work and a little squirt of paint.

    sure are, i got them from a guy i work with. he sold his old e30 to his bro, and
    his brother couldn't afford the tires on 17s, so he asked if i wanted to trade the wheels
    straight.
    the funny thing is, i got the stock e30 rims from him when he took them off to install
    the bbs wheels. he doesnt give a shit though.

    they look pretty good on your hatch too!

    now damn it, i wanted some COLOR IDEAS!

    im kind of thinking black or close to it, then smoke my tail lights, inside my headlight housings, tint my windows, and do it panda style on the daily.

    Going silver would suit them the best. Or even polishing them out. Very nice upgrade.

    idk...
    i didnt buy the bottlecaps i was riding, i got them a while after a coworker
    put the RXs in the picture on his E30.



    my options are silver, or black right now. a nice gold crossed my mind as well,
    since the car is white.

    A dark bronze will look good on a white car- I did it my e30 wheels (which looked cool) and it stands just enough. I dont know that I would have said no to free BBS wheels though. The silver looks good though. 4drcivics w/ bc's ftw

    Good trade.
