I didn't log onto my computer last night, so sorry for the late response...

The gunmetal looks better than the black. The chrome just looks ghetto. Don't suppose you could chop it with a brushed metal rim? I like the looks of those better than any painted rim (and, well, I hate chrome, so it's actually lower on the list than stock steelies with fake spinner wheel covers)

I will see what I can do, if anyone wants me to see what some other rims look like on the car post some pics. Shoot for rims that show a dead straight on shot, those are easier to work with than the ones that show em at an angle.

What do you think about those brakes E V?? lol

Not sure if I would have gone with red caliper paint or yellow for the black car.

And if ONLY we had rear disc brakes...

Alright Jemdawg, here you go, this is just for you, and anyone else who likes mesh style rims. These are hyperblack Enkei RPM's.



I hate to admit it, but I have to say those would look mighty good in 18's on my car!

I might paint my calipers red, and the rotor hats too, but I'm not sure how it would look with the drums in the back.

lol thought youd' like that! but wth are the rotor hats!??? Yea I don't think painting the drums would look good, I see too many rice rockets around here with em painted, and they look nasty. But I think I changed my mind on what rims to buy after I PSed these onto the car. THEY LOOK SOOOOO SEXXXY!!!



for some reason I couldn't get that front rim to look right, but o0o well they still are freakin awesome!

Yeah, I'd paint the hats black, so they don't rust as easily. I might just paint the drums black too, so they don't look like plastic.

Yeah, just smoke the tails and paint the headlight housing black when you do your retrofit job.

I OWN PAGE 2!!! lol

That is a given! lol I can't stand how much the headlights stand out on the black V! They hurt my eyes looking at it!!! haha. But the black out on my list includes tail lights, third brake light, Nissan Logo, Versa Logo, grill, and when I do the headlights I am making that amber reflector smaller, because that bothers me too! But by law I gotta have it in there and cops around here find anything to ticket you on when they are pissed off with sum up their culo, they try to get you for w/e they can! I'm gonna do the interior little by little also, I coulda sworn I had a charcoal interior, why in the hell do they put tan from the a pillars up and on the headliner!?!? Headliner is gonna get sueded and all the a pillars are going to get black coach material. Yea I'm into that fad so what, no need to talk smack to me!!! Hopefully that will go down in the summer along with custom door panels POSSIBLY, not too sure if I wanna FG my panels while the car is still as new as it is, but either way the panels are gonna get coach and suede too.

They made the roof tan in all of the cars because it makes the interior seem more roomy, even though they don't need to do that; it's already roomy. I was surprised when I first got in my car too, because it's almost as if we only got a half charcoal interior.

That is a big duh, but if you want to see rims that they don't offer, then you have to do what you have to do. Thx for the thought though
