Different! (I like it)
 
Please please PLEASE do not colour match trim. That always looks awful, and a cheap and easy attempt at creating flow.

IMO, with green wheels on a white car, flow will be hard on anything but a heavily modified car. Typically flow can be achieved by incorporating that colour into the vinyl design the car would wear... which in your case would look silly.

IMO, leave the wheels the only green on your car... or do something SIMPLE DISCREET AND SMALL like a pinstripe.

Really looking forward to see how the paint holds up. Thinking of the Duplicolor wheel paint this summer.

I definitely dig it though. This looks absolutely sick. I can't wait to see this wrapped in tires and on the ground.

I cant wait to see it either!
the color of these wheels is so unique that the only way I would ever be able to directly match the color is with paint.
I'm definately not going to paint the trim or attempt a custom paint job using rattle cans so the car will be staying with the wheels as the only green!
I cant wait for friday to see how it looks!

did you paint over the existing wheel weights?


thats gonna cause hell later on when they balance the wheels.
........really? I thought they'd have to remove the current wheel weights when they mount and balance my new tires? I'm planning to clean all the overspray out of the inside of the rim tonight.......we'll see how it goes though.

I think you better have them on tomorrow for SIF lol. I want to see the green in person cause I know the pics kinda of don't have the right amount of pop to show off the true color.
 
Way to be different i dont like looking the same as everyone else either. Even tho i kinda do ha. But since you call your car the egg i think the wheels are the yoke spilling out! haha nice wheels!

I do indeed!

friday night on my way to a car show I was at a light and this 80 year old lady and her husband were on my left. I looked over and saw her looking at my wheels when she looked upo and saw me looking at her she got this completely disapointed look on her face and shook her head no.

It was hilarious! :D
 
I would normally say that they would look better on a darker car, but they look great on yours too!!
