I can agree with that. I like the oem look of the wheels but i may upgrade for width later on. the back is 8.5" they also look kinda big, partially due to the front tires being too big of a profile.

if it is what you say it is, an RB25 neo, why would that be bad....?

i say do gunmetal or white. white looks sick on red cars... and also MORE LOW!

hmm i wonder what it would look like in white. ill have to find a pic of a red car w/ white wheels.

haha yeah man, i picked it up with the screwed up front end. i put a new bumper / fender on it and it needs to be painted. the car is not currently running as im re-building the head... long story but if you want to follow my build, check this out! thanks.

Eh, my attempt. I couldn't get black to look right. I'm going to say stick with the color they are now or with the gunmetal color. It looks clean as it sits though.

That bright of a silver that's on it is too bright imo. Almost makes it look like a toy car. If I was to change the color, I'd just go with a darker silver/gray. Just don't paint them bronze, yuck.

I stumbled upon a thread where someone painted the Z track wheels gunmetal with a silver lip. It actually came out pretty sick! it was done with regular spray paint, not even powder-coated. what do you guys think?
