to paint or not to paint

[coderedk]

watsup everyone i have flat black g37 wheels and i just added a red lip to them. I like the look but idk its doing enough. ive been seriously considered painting my rims gold like the same color as the advan rs wheels. What do you guys think?

i would paint them this same color

[Hussain]

gold =

How about Gunmetal ?

[Rolling Estonian]

I'm a fan of bronze wheels. Gold is ok.

[bundy26]

I think gold only looks good on the type of blue the STi uses.

I agree. Gold wheels only look nice on the electric blue STi.

i didnt like gold rims at first but then i started seeing them on a few z's in my car club and they definetly grew on me over time. Here is a pic of gold rims on a coupe(BTW this coup belongs to Loop)

OK I take back what i put down before, they look super hot on black also.

Yea gold looks good on black only in the A/Cs in my opinion. I was really close to getting gold rims but a chose gunmetal instead.

[marcelo929]

I think they would look good and make sure to get the same lug nut color as Loop so you can still have kind of that red theme going on even though the wheels are gold

[Kanard]

oooh. i like the gold, i still have not got mine yet, but i want gold on red also. I think it looks good, but its your car, CodeRed. I think there is a coupe on here, with some night pix of their red car.

[Oilsink]

gold is dope, see sig

[lilg2033]

i think it would look ok

P.S. Where did you get the red eye lids i've been looking for that

[KilaDragN]

get it photo shop and see if you like it. if you do, paint them. if you don't, then don't paint them.

...i say instead of gold you spend the money on tailight tint and a carbon fiber hood to try to look like dangeris lol

my tailights are tinted.. and ive thought about that cf hood but its just not my style, i like a clean look, and it would be sad to try to look like another coupe imo

[6SpdAltima_Coupe]

yea true i feel ya..im just not sure if the gold will look good on the red coupe..maybe a photoshop would help

[skydiving247]

best way to tell if gold will look good on a red coupe is to go to tirerack.com

[trayharrell951]

i like it. i will bring out the car especially with the red paint gold wheels.

Powder coat

[coderedk]

My friend paints and powdercoats wheels so i decided to paint the first time around because it was cheaper and looked the same( i got flat black) im probably gonna paint them again when i go gold because if i dont like it then i can just go back to black or try another color and i wont be going broke powdercoating everytime lol

[QR25DE]

Really crappy photoshop I did in about 2 mins with my laptop track pad.

[coderedk]

I'll msg you tonight... haha

[FROSTEEiCE]

here's another rough photoshop

[Blackmobile]

i say stick with the black and red, it keeps it subtle but at the same time makes the rims stand out. the gold and red doesn't really go together that well imo.
