I think this looks pimp... help me decide - Jeff - 05-15-2006
So, I suck at photoshop. I suck so much at it I don't even have it. I am SOOO bad I just have MS paint with which to hurt the world with my "photo-shopping." Here is the original picture ScottyB made for me...

Really good considering it took him like 2 mins to do. So, this is not really the best rep of the paint, but it works well anyway to put it in the mind's eye. We decided on the Orange/Graphite scheme as shown here. I think this color combination w/ the wheels looks good (yes, I now I suck).

So the question posed is "What do you think about FLAT black wheels, given the car will be orange over a DARK metalic graphite."
If so, what style/size, we are talking street use.
If not, what would be better? Anyone who would want to photoshop would be SUPER!
Let me know what you think MM 8)

one more thing, Smoke the side lights or leave them orange/red? (the orange will almost disapear)

cant go wrong with more shiney things. unless you're building a roadster...which you're not.
- PDenbigh - 05-15-2006
I think those wheels look great. Not sure about having them flat black though.
The deep dish in the rear is nice...
- Feersty - 05-15-2006
I like the wheels on there. I think a clear side lens would work better as well.
- ScottyB - 05-15-2006
keep the polished bling, and i like the orange side lenses better.
- Sijray21 - 05-15-2006
becareful with the clear side lens - sometimes they look cheap (i regret doing that to the VW)
wheels with a lip make me feel funny in a good way :wink:
- Jeff - 05-15-2006
Sorry...those wheels came from a 911...
I'm thinking flat black with the polished lip...maybe a 6 spoke??? No clear sides availible.

they certainly aren't bad. i'd hit it for free.
- HAULN-SS - 05-31-2006
oh - most old roadsters had a matt(sp?) paintjob on them, whitewalls, red pinstriping..scallops, the works. use your imagination. You're not building one of those

ewww 6.5 inch wide rims? You definitely need something wider...
- JustinG - 06-05-2006
i think he should stick with te 6.5 wheels and make it a burnout machine
Well like DJ said youll want something wider. With the power youll be putting down youll want the widest tires you can find, more contact patch = more traction with descent tires that is
