...since opinions are like assholes and it's opinions that I'm looking for...

Firstly, I haven't been on in a while so I thought I'd post some recent pictures and get some people's opinions.

My new wheels were mounted a while ago. The photography is horrible I know, but I have a ****ty camera and zero skill.

Then washing the slampig up after the trip back from Mystic, CT.

I've decided that the color of the wheels wash out the cara too much since everything's silver with clear lighting. I need something for contrast. I want to get opinions on what color I should paint the centers (they are 3-peice wheels).

Bonus points for people whom photoshop some ****.

twastheglow · 11-10-2010, 05:37 PM

And one a sidenote, I'm already planning on replacing these tires with something with less sidewall and lowering the front and rear more once I do.

Welcome back, man. New wheels look great.

SvicksTc · 11-10-2010, 06:11 PM

guess who back, back again, tell a friend...

Wheels look dope mike, more drop should look nice tires are not that bad

Subie_sleeper · 11-10-2010, 06:12 PM

Looking good.
I'm not a huge fan of 5 spoke wheels, but your car makes them look pretty classy.
I'd just do a gloss black on the centers....

Thanks duders. I haven't been around because the last time I was on here, TST raped my computer without a condom and I had to reformat the hard drive. That pissed me off enough to stay away for a little while.

Thanks. Black was actually the only color I was not interested in. LOL

Sorry man DS2 any day not really a fan of the new wheels

lownslow95 · 11-10-2010, 06:49 PM

Wheels look good on there Mike. They set the car off nicely.

Honestly dude, based on these pictures I don't blame you. I have yet to photograph these wheels and appreciate the outcome. I don't know what it is. They look SO MUCH BETTER in person.

jbloom · 11-10-2010, 07:14 PM

What about a deep purple.... I think that its wild enough to make people take a second look but a deep purple would be dark enough not to look trashy and would throw a little color into the mix.

Jjaeger240 · 11-10-2010, 07:42 PM

Note before I know nothing about photography:

I think the car looks really good and simple in those pictures-- but I also think it may look 1000x worse in person. The white balance (is that the word I want?) is way off making the pictures look really washed out which I think is taking down the brightness of the rims in comparison to the car. Between bigger tire, big spokes, and chrome, I think it would give a NTB rim + tire combo discount look. Silver and chrome aren't two tones that work well together regularly.

Given, in those pictures it does look really nice. I love all the simplicity and subtleties to it, but just fear that chrome has way more "pop" in real light and life.

This is me also nitpicking like a total dickhole. Grand scheme of things you're way more on your game than most out there. Car is way cooler than idiot "fitment" freaks and better-looking than haggard i/h/e cars rolling around.

dsm4life04 · 11-10-2010, 08:08 PM

Could you not just say opinions? Haha anyway the the car looks pretty solid. Very classy.

Hahaha Thanks for the compliments. I am however following what you're saying. That's why I blacked out the kidney grilles and am replacing the M3 bade with a flat black. I do however love the polished lips and want to keep those. I just think the centers need to be a different color.

I COULD have, yes...but apparently you don't know me and my subtle ways of saying things. LOL And thanks.

Honduh · 11-10-2010, 08:24 PM

I think a nice purple would be good on there for sure with polished lips. Or maby purple lips with polished center?

Good to see you posting again, Mike.
