bronze dude, bronze wheels are so sick. i'm trying to get a set of bronze wheels for my si

D Money · 11-23-2007, 03:38 AM

white stockers? Nope.

Gold stockers? Nope.

Bronze stockers? **** no.

Pick something WILD. Wild always wins. Don't let me down here, awesome car, awesome girl, not so awesome wheel color choices.

evomike · 11-23-2007, 04:38 AM

i painted my rims...i love the way they came out and i don't plan on selling them for a WHILE if ever...if you care about the overall look/style of the car not "will i be able to sell this when i get sick of this car" then you don't have the right car for you...

back on topic...i think you should do white and as stated a couple of posts b4 me, if you don't like em, paint them bronze...

teh DIRT · 11-23-2007, 01:41 PM

do white and be done with it.

CHAOS · 11-23-2007, 01:51 PM

why not just leave them stock?

armoacr · 11-23-2007, 01:51 PM

takata green ftw!

Snoozie · 11-23-2007, 01:56 PM

White! The other S2k's that you posted looked awesome w/white wheels.

D Money · 11-23-2007, 02:01 PM

yeah because they're 'aftermarket'

If she's trying to go for the same look as the evasive car, then there is lots to be done.

White on white is gangster, just not on stock wheels.

Kiel · 11-23-2007, 02:53 PM

Green.

I don't want something wild, I considered red, but I want it to look clean and subtle right now. I got profiled enough in the dsm, and now that im on my own insurance and paying it, I can't afford to be profiled. The sonic cruise should be proof enough that crazy rim colors can get you into more trouble. The wrx and 240 with blue, pink, and green wheels got profiled like a MOTHER****ER when the cops tried to pull us all over.

I might've tried a crazy color if my car was something special but its not. Its damn near stock, and to add even more to that its slow. If im driving around with red wheels, i bet more people are going to try race me too. And its just annoying when you obviously aren't trying to race someone and they just keep ON and ON and ON with trying to race you.

It may sound weird, but whatever. Maybe once I get some mods on the car and whatnot, I might paint the wheels some crazy color for next fall/winter, but not this one.

She said S2k's, I only posted 1 s2k w/ aftermarket white wheels, the other 2 were stock wheels.

D Money · 11-23-2007, 02:58 PM

I saw.

All I wanna see is you cop some white heat in the spring.

White work emo's, white te37's. white work xd9, something. Has to be white!!!!

vwcorradokid · 11-23-2007, 03:02 PM

I vote for a crazy green color. Either the paint on this bike:

.....or the paint on this Evo:

MissDSM · 11-23-2007, 03:13 PM

Im leaning towards bronze. White does look hot though. It kind of depends on if I get a white hard top or a black one.
