Wheel color suggestions
Tuesday, March 11, 2008 7:37 AM
OK, so ive had these wheels for about EVER! and have been trying to sell them but with no luck. so ive decided that well, if no one wants to buy them, i might as well use them and save some tread on my new all season tires...

so i plan on puttin them back on this summer (even tho they're not my fav...) but i dont think i want the graphite anymore...leaning more towards black.

so i come to you with the question: What color do you think would look good? Leave it? Black +leave the lip, or Black with black lip? or any color combo suggestion is welcome.

heres a pic (excuse the filthy car)



So lets here some SERIOUS color combo opinions!!

Gold + Lip

I had those rims in 18's, one of four sets of rims that went on my car....

man the first suggestion is gold.... dang!! i had bronze/gold wheels on then curbed and sold them... miss them ever since. but not sure how these would look in gold. im almost afraid to do that because i know i wouldnt like them as much so it would be just a tease! hahaha

here's the 'good ole days'


I think im leaning towards all black. I'm just not sure how i feel about how much the lip contrasts with the black wheel and the white of my car... but perhaps bronze is an option again.

White with polished lip. I'm not usually a white rim fan, but a clean white car with white rims does look hot.

I think all black would look good, but i would try posting a pic in image manipulation forum, and have them put on some different color combos to see what one you like best.

ive messed a bit in photoshop but the wheels are so dark its hard to get a good end result of a different color... but i had plans on posting in there and seeing what others can do as well. color changing is not my best area in PS.

and sorry, NO chance on the green or hot pink
but thank you for the suggestions

yea i know they are in perfect condition they way they are... i just dont like the graphite and dont want to buy new wheels/tires. im only going to use them because 1) i cant seem sell them for what they are worth and 2) it'll let the tread on my steelies last longer.

I'm also thinking on buying those Exel Bronze rims for my 04 White sunfire......I currently own some 17' Drifter Wheels/ Black with chrome lip....... Visit http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2917946 i made a photoshop of my car with the Exel bronze rims..scroll to the very bottom for page to view...... What do you all think? Should i just leave my MB wheels or go with the Exel's ?

by bronze.... i bascially mean gold! they'd be the same color (or close) to my previous set of bronze wheels.

and Ray... if it were me, bronze excel wheels no question!! i LOVED those wheels and if i were going to continue to mod my car, i would have kept mine till the thing turned over and died!!



...ugh... i just dont know if i like the way the lip looks with the blakc wheels (lookin at jays sig). i think it just stick out too much and looks out of place kind of... (i think i miss my bronze wheels too much and my mind wont let me like anything else but those!! hahah)

i think we'll see what we can get from the photoshopin fellows....

so these arent the exact same wheels but pretty freaking close....


not really feeling these wheels in bronze. they just dont look as good as the previous set. so i may be leaning towards leaving them or black
