035 Smoky Wheels on Stealthy Black Mica

[ping]

Several folks told me they thought it'd look pretty decent so... here are a few pics. And Pmpkinhead can also post the yellow 035 with the silver wheels.

My son and his friend now call my car "BlingBling"... let me know what you think(I already know AGR liked the silver ones better....... in some ways so do I...)

Looks good Ping!

Looks good Ping. I actually thought it would look even better than that though...the wheels just don't shine much in those pics. But still, looks good especially considering that I view the 3.5 rims to just look like my 03 rims do when they're dirty. I'm not real high on the 3.5 rims unless they're on the black or titanium.

Looks great!

I'm still debating on whether or not i should spray paint or powdercoat my wheels a dark gunmetal color this summer... I like the silver.. but gunmetal wheels are so nice...
Unless someone wants to trade me a set of 03.5 wheels for a set of 03 wheels with one minor curb and 12000 miles on the tires but plenty of tread left. :bigthumb:

it looks good. i never really noticed the difference between the 03 & 03.5 until now. it looks really good on the black

Looks alright, I think the 03's look better on black...but anyway, tint your windows!!!

Thats clean, I want to put some 03.5 on my spicy speed

Like them better than the shinier ones. Looks really good. I think gunmetal or even powder coated full black would look sweet! I'm considering going BLACK on my titanium... I'm going to photochop one in the next few weeks & post pics.

Looks great Ping. Just promise you'll toss the pics and get some new ones when the sun finally comes out. I will get some current pics when this deluge is finally over in Cleveland. The Sunroof that I had installed would complete your car and it'll make the roof stronger (contrary to popular belief).

I took pics in 3 kinds of light just by coincidence... the parking lot pic (with the pickup that has a mismatched cap) was full cloudy, the rear 3/4 shot was full sun, and the front 3/4 was light clouds. The wheels look different in different light, and tend to look much darker if it's not full sun, and pretty bilingy in the sun. Admittedly the car isn't as clean as I'd like but Ma Nature isn't cooperating!

I was considering the powdercoat or paint route but couldn't bear to take sandpaper to the OE wheels in order to paint 'em, they're just too pretty. I'm still torn if I did the right thing, but I like the '035 wheels just fine and they make the car look pretty unique, especially in a parking lot chock full of cars with silver wheels.

Pmpkinhead - you got a sunroof? Pics please, and details!
