My Q photoshopped (a little)

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

Well...... I need some opinions.......

I might get some chromes from heath, so I had a guy from cadillacforums (no one here on NICO would help me) put the rims on and put a little tint.....

Let me know what you think.......

Sorry for the bad picture quality.......

Looks cool. I wondered how mine would look with the shiny pie pans, there's a place near here that does polishing cheap. Might be tempted this winter, if I don't buy some 5 spokes ala 300zx. -Squee

They look great

Tint is nice, but I'm not sure about the chrome. I've got a black onm black 94 with alloy rims and tint.

Just one Q owners opinion.

Just curious, what dont you guys like about the chrome??

Post by **j30t** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

the fact that its chrome.

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

So the look of the regular rims is better???

A matter of your personal preference. I myself like the look of chrome wheels on a car. It'd look particularly nice with the color of your car. Just my opinion!

p.s.Thanks for the info on fuel pump & injector replacement!

dunno..chrome stands out too much and i dont like it. you decide though.

Post by **911/Q45** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

I had chrome on my car for quite a while. The center caps didn't stay nice and match the wheel, as they are plastic. The wheels themselves started to rust and peel in some of the nooks and crannies.

Heath is gonna give them to me for $200...... Pretty good IMO, but I dont know if i will/wont be satisfied with them and then want to get something new later......

If you're speaking of the 20 slot 16" let me know when you grow weary of them.

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

No...... Their the regular stock 94 wheels, just their in chrome......

Post by **Rex** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

The chrome ...... maybe it's just the pic, I don't have an issue with chrome.

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

Remember, its just a photoshop, so its there just to give you an idea.......

Id be interested to get hitmans input on this....... Hitman??

Post by **Rex** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

Understood, just not fond of the chrome look on the car "as pictured". Maybe the real thing looks/will look better. If you like it, go for it.

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

Do you know of anyone that has a set of 16in BBS Q rims..... Id ideally like to get those chromed........

Post by **Rex** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

I didn't realize the BBS Q rims came in 16's? I thought they were only 15's and someone has a set for sale, I'm looking to pick up for snow tires on for this winter.

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

The BBS are 16s....... Only the pan ones came in 15s.......

Post by **Rex** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

Even for the earlier Q's?

Here's the thread for the ones I'm looking at buying.

Personally I like the look of the Q with these wheels. I dabbled in a little photoshop myself. Oooo La-La!:D

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

OOOOOH...... what size are those....... Keep em coming!!!

That may be a tad flashy for me.......

Rex..... :oface: I guess I was wrong...... I thought the 94ts came with 16s....... I wish you didnt already have dibs on them....

Whatever the case is, my next rim upgrade will be chrome......

Nope - BBS Q rims were 15", and 15" ONLY.

There was a clean set of 20-spoke 16's on ebay the other day....

p.s. Skip the pie pans. You want 16's so you have access to more performance tire options.

Post by **Q45Viper** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

BBS rims 15" only. There are 16" stockers all over Ebay right now. And they have a nice chrome look to them. Also a really pretty set of what look like perfect 15" BBS. Stay away from the pie pans chromed. More money, chrome won't last, go up at least to 16 for the money or get some nice used BBS 15's. Don't like the tint either, with the age of our cars, they look great stock because of the classic style, but stray too far like 19-20" wheels and deep tint and chrome wheel lips and it starts to look bling bling. No hurt meant.

What are the good 16s???

Post by **Q451990** » Sat Sep 06, 2003 5:30 pm

Actually these chromed pie pans have held up nicely for 13+ years... and I'm not just saying that because I'd like more room in my garage!

The pie pans look clean. Kinda like the Corvette wheels in the 80's.

I saw a set of chrome ones with gold center caps on eBay. UGLY!

I sold mine for $50.00, and they were just fine (not chrome). I liked the look, but wanted to go to 17" wheels. I don't ahve room for spare wheels, either.

The 16" wheels might be a better wheel, though. The 17" ride a little rougher.

My next set, will be the polished aluminum M45 wheels. (I know they are 18", but they look sweet!)
