Thinking About It.
#1
Think these would look alright on my car?

Granted they are already similar to the ones I have already.

SHM has them for 160 each at the moment.

And, would white rims look stupid?

I think the first ones would look pretty good! :)
I was looking around for new rims, someone suggested ford racing but I would imagine they would be more expensive then aftermarket??..

How mush are those (approx)?

SHM has them for 160 each. I've seen them as low as 140 though.

I'm going to hit up Drivethebeast to see where and for how much he got his for.

I leaning towards Black right now.

Black or silver, but not white, it would stand out way too much. You want subtle, not F&F.

Go with the black Anthony, if you go white I will personally drive over to your house and slap you. Then I will spray bomb your rims black. So save yourself the trouble......... just get black.

I'd love to paint the ones I have....I just don't know how durable the D.I.Y. jobs are.

I'd hate to look like one of those ricers with a botched Home Hardware mod 5 years from now.

:lol:

If you do it right, it will last a really long time....thin coats with wet sanding does some amazing work. I've done 3 set of wheels...none have come back for touch ups yet. 1 set was done over 3 years ago now.

I do fix mine up every year, but thats because the guys at the shop arent the niecest when removing/mouting the weels. and when I say 'fix up' its a 10 minute job with a fine brush to go over minor scratches that any wheel would get anyways....

A dark argent on your rims would look good Anthony. I like the current style of rim on your car with the silver, but I like black personally. Then again that is my opinion! And if your worried about your rims looking like crap in the next few years you can always powdercoat them for $300 bucks........ just a thought.

I agree, what you've got now is much better... but if you wanted to upgrade, i'd say go with the white... that photochop changed my decision entirely. Myself, i'd get the black ones, black on liquid grey... mmm. B)

And where is this sale going on? SHM?! :unsure:
