What Color Wheels?

Post by **240SXy** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

Hey everyone, I am looking at Rota Subzero wheels and want opinions on colors. I have a Burgundy 93 coupe. The wheels come in many colors, white, gunmetal, silver, gold, bronze, and probably a couple more. I really can't decide, so help me out.

Bronze would look bad ***. IMO

Post by **Repo Man** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

Yeah, I'm with Red. Bronze (as long as it's dark bronze) or Gunmetal would be tight.

Do you have a link to those wheels? I could use some myself.

Well, rota's website ishttp://www.rotawheels.comand the best prices I've seen so far are at http://www.jaydm.com Anyone else have opinions?

bronze would look like a drunk hobo peed all over your rims. dark burdgandy go with white.

Tino, you are SO rice. Your hubcaps are painted white.

Gunmetal would look sa-weeet on a burg 240!

White wheels (unless you're a sponsored racer with $5000 rims, OR your car is white) went out years ago.

I hate gunmetal so bland.

true...go with gold or something

Post by **Tino** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

gold rims? why do you all like these ugly rims?

Post by **240SXy** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

I kind of like the gold, myself. It seems like it would pick up some different colors in the burgundy, like it has gold or something mixed in. I'm still not sure, keep the opinions coming.

gold isnt ugly man....

look at any nice 180's or silvia's with their gold advan's or bbk's, gold is popular...even amung rally cars with their OZ rims : )

Burgundy car? I'd go for bronze or white.

My favorite rim setup is gunmetal on a black car, or white rims on a white car.

Tino,

You've got 13" Daytons with Vogue tires on your car. Why don't you just post a picture of it? We won't flame it, I swear! :icesangel

Ooh! Ooh! Do they have three inch whitewalls?

No, Daytons and Vogues cost $$$$. Homeboy's got steelies with PepBoys hubcaps (painted white).

tino he is rolling on a handme down set of hammers or better yet saw blades

Hey Hitman, I wasn't trying to say he was a freakin' poor kid. I was simply implying that he has no taste!

I think I'll get myself some of those Rota's. Bronze of course.

Gotta love the gold man

Post by **AZhitman** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

Kinda has an old-school look to it, like the 14's they used to run on the old racing Datsun 510's... Not so bad.

Post by **stickgoat** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

I want white SSR Integrals, myself....not until my car is painted Ford Mustang mineral grey, however.

I reckon white would look rather unattractive on a champagne car.

Gunmetal on champagne... Mmmmmm, nice.

I agree with AZhitman. Gunmetal would look dope.:ylsuper

White wheels up by me got played real fast...for me most white wheels look VERY ricey. Go with bronze or gunmetal, I have a burgendy 96 coupe, and I'm torn between gunmetal, bronze, or black.

Post by **AZhitman** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

White wheels were ruined by people in Electron Blue Pearl 99 Civic Si's.

TireRack has a program where you can see what various wheels will look like on your car, in your color.

Why didn't we think of THAT before?

i like gold, but with burgundy it wouldn't work. gunmetal sounds good. i have gold on my car but my car is green.

Post by **skydragoness** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

i don't think gold/bronze would work well with burgandy, IMO

burgandy is kind of a intermediate color, bronze works well with black, white, green, red, and blue cars.

black rims with a machined silver lip would look sweet as hell though or just stick with silver.

my coupe is white, so i am planning on getting bronze rims --cookie cutter BBS style or 5 spoke gunmetal/black rims. Volk TE37's in that dark-bronze are my all time favorite!

to each their own though;)

Post by **skydragoness** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

wait, i take that back, *dark* bronze rim's like the te37's would look good on your burgandy car

after looking at PabloHoney's sig picture i realized that bronze rims would look pretty good

Post by **FrEaK** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

just get 22" chrome dubs... and put rediculous negative camber so that you burn off one edge of your tire....

Post by **lateralmotion** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

My car is red, and i think the best wheels for red or burgundy would be either black or gold. I want those rota attack wheels in either black or some gold mesh wheels with a silver polished lip.

Post by **wingzero** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:23 am

I'd go for some nicer wheels like volks or racing hart evos if I were you, but if your set on the rotas, then Bronze or gold, preferably bronze, would look hella sweet.
