eagle rims,
and bfgoodrich scorcher t/a's 205/40/16

tires only hav 3 need to get 1 more somewhere,
but yea im wondering if i should paint the rim gunmetal in the middle and leave a chrome lip?

Original

Edited


gold?


tires

 

If they were going on a silver car I would say keep them the original color. But on your Black da I would paint them gunmetal.

 

^^ i would try gold.....gold with a polished lip looks sexy on any car....nice wheels by the way....

thanks and i love u

 

polished, gunmetal, or even bronze, on ur car i think the gunmetal would look best

 

hmmm not feeling the gunmetal bro, just because your car is black. Stick with the silver, it looks hot.

 

those tires are crppy i had a set for a week and hated them, they have to be the wosrt tire on the market for rain, have fun hydroplaning everywhere

 

i had silver on my car last year so wana go with a different look this year...

that bad eh. how much did u pay for your tires? or if you kno how much one is cause if i do decide not to keep them i can still sell them back as a set, i got a good deal on the tires thats y i got em

everything is brand new, if anyone needs tires i have a whole bunch of bfgoodrich and michellin tires so let me know what and how many you need and ill c if i can get it.

shop just picked up a whole stock of tires so ye could work out a good deal.

 

i got mine for under 400$ from a friends shop to try them out and see what they were like when they first came out a few years back, i gave them back and said to him they are shitty and he dropped them like a tonne of bricks, other then that it was ok lol

 

how is it on dry roads i dont take my car out when it rains as much because my friggin sunroof leaks one of the hinges is broken.
have an aftermarket sunroof on mine the pop up style. previous owner installed i guess

 

not the exact same rim but it's gold with a polished lip.....

 

here's one with black and polished lip.....



damn i love the equip replicas.....lol

 

that last white 1 looks sick, what side skirts are those?
and thats the front type r lip right?

 

made a gold 1 to see how it looks

 

^^ type r abs lips and mugen replica sides....

 

try a deeper gold for the inside of the rim, that gold seems a bit too light

 

well this is jus a pic ruff idea cause paint will always be a bit different.

 

i'm biased towards gold with a polished lip.

 

i think im gona go with the gunmetal look this year,
which paint do i use? and can i just paint over the original paint? or do i have to prep it first somehow?

basically the same idea, except no curb rash. sand it enough to get the clear off, and prime it to get a smooth surface, then use high heat paint, I used this one from CT - Dupli Color High Heat, get the Graphite colour, if you are going for the gunmetal look. it should take you that long, because your rims are new, and u dont have to fix any curb rash or anything.

 

drynot so bad but the time i had them on, it was a rainy week so i dodnt get much dry driving out of them i remember it well i hit a curb going around a corner and that was it for me, mind you i was going faster then i should have but hey whatever i guess

 

this car is the ---- i love Chach's car
