View Full Version : Need opinion
So ive decided to repaint my summer rims, just like to get some general comments
i know, i know that it boils down to me on the final decision but just in case i thought id ask
also, these are photohops, i lowered the ride height with PS because i dont have a pic of my car lowered with summer rims on but
its what it should look like
the centers are going to be black but im still undecided on the colour of the lip or even to pain the lip at all, i was thinking body coloured lip with black center

finally! some taste.. a bit darker red may be better imo, but blacked out is the route i'd go... :smt023
i say dont paint the lip
LOL, i was thinking that the pink lip would match my springs :wink:

haha im just thinkin along the lines of more people will see them as you fly by... they wont be too focused on your springs, but instead how sexy your (not purple or pink) rims look contrasted to your car... lol

a sliver lip might be nice. but of the 3 the red looks the best. dark red might be nice

None of those colors fit the car. Sorry to say, it will make you look like a ricer :-(

I would say go all black. But if you must, the red looks pretty good.

+1 what Zeus said, people arent gonna see your springs unless they actually care to look under, so people will just see white black and pink...not exactly a good thing IMO. i say maybe try painting it the the same color as the body, or all black.

I'd have to agree with the all black. If you need a rim, maybe gold or bronze with that car?

dude im the guy that would do that that.. i love that purple lip red is too common now with the "time attack" wheels... its visually loud.. i vote one for like a flouresent yellow or orange.. i love the way cars look with loud wheels to set off the whole thing. photo shop some crazy colors ud be suprised when u see something you like.
pink screams subaru... its not homo.. its pimpin ;)

+1! Back when I was thinking about painting my OB WR Blue, I wanted to throw some pink somewhere in there! But alas, pink doesn't go with Wintergreen

yeah, when it has some relation to the rest of the car... not the color of his..lol
i guess im just more of the subtle coloring black everything out as dark as it gets think... imma shadow. heh
You're telling this to a person who's truck is completely blacked out, I know how that goes! (Or at least WAS until the fiberglass mods). I was thinking about painting my Subie black to match the Explorer, but that would require that I take off all my stickers on my hatch. I can't get some of those anymore, so I don't want to risk it.

i say red
if your car was black or something i might go with the purple or pink
ok ive made a decision, im going matte black center with a body coloured lip (titanium pearl) and i will be getting a new colour matched front lip

black rims are so played out...I liked the original color, but I'm in the minority.
