What color wheels??? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Chris_PA · 07-09-2007, 12:21 PM

I had some idea's in my head of how I wanted my car to look
Went into PS and messed around to see what looked good

By the end of the summer I hope to have (looks wise):
Coilovers
AVS Downdraft (color matched)
15% Tint (little lighter than I PS'd it)
Powdercoated wheels (help me pick color)

So how does the car look and what color wheels should I go with?

Stock (no AVS):

Gunmetal:

Black:

White:

Gold?:

White, but only if you have other white accents. Like a small white graphic on the side

Chris_PA · 07-09-2007, 12:47 PM

Black with color matched lip

TTsupra911 · 07-09-2007, 12:50 PM

gunmetal... although that black with the color lip looks sick

BradC · 07-09-2007, 12:52 PM

black w/color matched lip. Looks nice.

eviltalon · 07-09-2007, 12:58 PM

black or black with matching lip looks amazing

Chris_PA · 07-10-2007, 11:22 AM

anyone else have any opinions?

CHAOS · 07-10-2007, 11:37 AM

the white looks like a bright silver... and i like that idea... keep it simple... car looks great.. dont wanna take away from that paint color

sisforsurfing · 07-10-2007, 11:41 AM

Gunmetal is my favorite. The stock color of the wheels isn't bad though...
But I rarely like white wheels. Black could look good, but I always think they'll look like steelies. And I think color-matched lips are tacky.

Gunmetal looks like it goes best in my opinion, and looks most like a color BBS would paint their wheels.

Pink............................no?

Alright, the gold looks cool, but the stock color or gunmetal would look the best.

dude, the white looks straight nasty.

05Accent · 07-10-2007, 01:15 PM

i like the white..

MissDSM · 07-10-2007, 05:24 PM

idk i highly dislike the white just bc nothing else on the car is white so it's kind of random. The tint makes the car look too dark for white, so i'd say gunmetal or black with the lip are both good. I like black too but sometimes when people have black wheels it just looks liek a donut from far away.....wwwwhich is why i painted my wheels gunmetal instead of black

EDIT: actually... black doesn't look donut-ish at all with those wheels... I vote black. It looks the best with the tint, and after I looked at the rims with the lip I started to think it made the wheels look smaller then they really are. and also, gold is a HELLLL NO lol

TrboChicsRock · 07-10-2007, 05:25 PM

Definitely gunmetal. Or that bright black (I think it's actually called black chrome).

NOPSTNS · 07-10-2007, 06:46 PM

black....srt4 are mean lil cars and black gives off such a guise.....steaksauce

whoever voted for gold should have thier eyes taken out and replaced with golf balls, since they are serving u no purpose in life

edit: you should probably add black w/ a lip to the list though since everyone seems to like it
