So since ppl have been knockin on my rims lately, <cough> PhEnoM <cough> lol

I've been lookin at new shiz- and with new shiz, comes a different theme. I vowed to myself my next car's theme would be something + green. My last car was gold/black and this is silver/black.

but what if i added a spice, and went silver/black/green? o.O i know right?

i saw these on ebay- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLAQUE-D ... 56347b5201
and then green 5 spokes similar to mine, but instead of chrome polished lip, its a black lip w/ green star (5 spoke part) it was in like 3 issues of performance magazine lol- i forget who it was tho....

opinions are extremely important cus ppl say the front of my car is sex, but unless ur phenom- the sides just dont do it for ya! lol

Sorry, not feeling them, too much green for me. They would look good in all black or silver machined... ArtistikD *had* a nice subtle green pinstripe on his rims; if you must go green, I'd recommend going that route.

Bro where are the texts from me about rim choices.... I think they would be fresh if you had some sort of green on your car....... Maybe if you painted a couple things green... aka badges, burger?

F^*k it dude go for it. I had second thoughts about going pre grey with black and blue but it came out awesome IMO. I think not only has no one ever done it but it off sets the colors and blends in nicely. I get atleast 3 compliments a day and numerous people breaking their necks as i roll by. Plus i can give 2 S!hts about what people think. If it looks good to you then thats all that matters in the end. Thats why i will never ask anyone for their opinions on anything before i buy it, I just buy it.

Take a side picture of your car...then take an image of the rim. Photoshop it on and and see how you like it :) you can also post it on here to see if people like it. You know? and thennn decide if you wanna drop that kind of cash on it. Cuz it may look good by itself as a rim..but it might not look good on. you know? kinda like if you go shopping for clothes..and it looks good..but once you wear it it's like -.- THAT's how it looks?? then you can't return it and your stuck with something gross :\

I like the green..but just worried it won't look good on the car. :\ so photoshop it first and see how you like it!

i haz no burger lol-

i was thinking of doing a green outline of the car where all the black is. like the cf hood- where i have it painted and where the cf shows, would be outlined, the front fascia midsection (lower grill area) would be done, and the tips of the fins as well... idk- im prob gna hold off- idk just yet.

+1, the caps on those wheels are hideous, its like extra spoke painted on.

Why dont you have someone just pinstripe the lip on the wheels you have now? Post some pics of them too as they are right now so we can see what you got going on.

Oh and dont worry you'll get to bag on phenom soon enough. He is in the process of doing something very different right now. I think some are going to love it, some going to despise/rice it. I am un-opinionated at this point.

EDIT: Wow look at the camber on the rear wheel in that pic. Hello Eibach, one of the main reasons Im starting to dislike mine...Im saving for Tein coils for sure. :yesnod
