Leave em silver or paint em all gunmetal, not enough lip to be colored. I couldnt help myself, I miss them ;-)

 

Thanks man- they look good. The back wheel in the first picture of your car looks like it has enough of a lip... Either way, I'd like to see the "gunmetal" just a bit darker, and maybe a flat black if anyone has the time.

 

its not really "lip". Its all behind the spokes.

 

Majik, do you still have your car?! If so what wheels do you have now?

 

ZXTHREE bought my wheels, and they came with a car

 

Ok, maybe "lip" is the wrong term for it, but what would it look like if everything that is not a spoke was painted red, and the spokes were dark grey or flat black? That's what I'm wondering. Also, anybody want to do the trim and windows?

 

close enough?

 

close enough?

Yeah, those both look great. Thank you! Now I just have to decide which one to go with... any opinions?

 

two options...

if you keep the side molding the grey color it is, then do the red/grey combo. otherwise, i say get the molding painted to match the body color and do the black/red combo.

 

I wouldnt do the colored lips... Ive thought about it and it just wont look right. In the chops Half did, it makes it look like only the outer lip is red, but when that whole inside portion is matched its going to look funny. just IMO. Id go with all gunmetal or all silver.

 

It looks really cool, but it might be a little too Fast & Furious for my tastes. I dunno... I might be doing black Mach HIDs soon, with a body-colored ring instead of chrome, so I thought it might be cool if they matched. We'll see how it all comes together

 

^^That might be cool with the H.I.D.'s I'd like to see that done!

As for the wheel's, I'd say go with black/red trim. Also, paint the side/hatch molding(s), get some SVT mirrors (paint to match), and tint the window! I think that would be a good place to start IMO.

Good luck with everything.

The black and red is FTW!

 

^^x2!

Yeah, I just got a great deal on an SVT spoiler, so while I'm getting it painted, I'm looking to get a few other things done. I have my Mach HIDs open and ready for flat black with red rings, and I'll probably do the wheels in black with the red. I'm on a really tight budget right now, so whenever I find a good deal on something I have to snatch it up. I've been planning on painting the trim and tinting the windows for a while, but I keep putting it off... Soon enough, soon enough.
