What Color On The Wheels Should I Go With?

[brother_david]

Hey! Need some help deciding what to do with my wheels, they need some freshning up!

They're 19"x9.5 and 19"x8.5 TSW Thruxton with grey spokes/polished lip.

The car has got Millenium Jade paint and rusty bolts airbrushed here and there, also the enginebay and trunk is Kandy Apple red

Heres how my thoughts go:

Matte black spokes/Gloss black lip

OR

Black spokes/Millenium Jade lip

I dont think its worth trying to implement the Kandy Red on the wheels cause enginebay and trunk wont show when i drive around, right

Car as it looks now:

Enginebay and trunk:

Example of how Matte black/Glossy black looks:

Wow... Thats something new! Haha. Looks good man, and those rust marks have definately grown on me!

Matt black with gloss lip would be the go imo.

Jade lip, black spokes

imho those wheels look cheap and tacky... you spent sooo much money on the paint and then went and destroyed all that work with cheap chinese shit...

as i said in a thread of yours a while back, go meisters with rusted spokes and polished lip

Polished lip with shadow chrome spokes, gotta keep the polished lip though.

imho jap wheels are over rated and most do not suit the style of jap cars, most people get them for one of two reasons, (A) light weight (B) brand name, most of the people on this forum would get them for B

Chrome lip with jade spokes, something like the BBS LM, nice and spokey

Takata green....

[W0rp3D]

lol, thought you would like that.

[brother_david]

Thx for the response!

I think im going for the Matte Black/Gloss Black-look, think it'll match the rusted bolts along with the unpainted carbon on the hood

I'd suggest leaving the wheels as is (they look awesome) and instead fixing up the paint/panel (?) above the rear wheel...

IMO I think they suit the colour of the car well the way they are now.

and where did those rust marks come from?

[PM-R33]

You made your car look rusty.....

and where did those rust marks come from?

pop-rivets that hold the body kit on I'm guessing

PM-R33> Thx

Heres a close-up of how the 'rusty' parts look while getting airbrushed:

The wheels where rather expensive, believe it or not, might be my bad there, so i'd prefer to keep them, although in a perfect world they would be 19" SSR Professor's or Work Meister's Also getting my hands on a set of Professors or Meisters is hard when you sit in Sweden, any tips where to find them on auction, worldwide?

Heres two Photoshoped version to give a hint, im not longer all that sure about the black/black version :S:
