Gold Wheels on Silver P5

[1991cc]

I'm looking at getting a set of Rota Torques for my Protege5. I'm considering going with gold, I know its not a common colour combination (you only really see it on Subarus). Anyway, I'm not looking for opinions, I'm going to go with what I like best, I'm just wondering if anyone has pictures of a silver Protege with gold rims.

I'm not sure if you're gonna find anyone with a silver p5 with gold rims. Sort of an uncommon combination, gold on silver. Gold/bronze wheels are common (and very good looking IMO) on white and blue cars.

yeah, I'm gonna say no on the silver/gold combo (IMO)...the reason you won't be able to find any examples is because it's not a very beloved combo. However, if it's what you want...go for it.

 

[ucMP3]

Ya, definitely do what you want to do.

Thanks guys, I'm not 100% sure of it myself ... hence the looking for a picture.
If there aren't any pictures available are there any photoshopers out there? If I post a pic of my car that is.

I know Wisconsin has a Photoshopping thread. Try to sneak in there and ask for a lil help. lol

Well ... not being from Wisconsin I don't want to intrude ... I'll have a go at it myself, I'm no expert but I can get by.

I just got some Rota Torque knock offs on ebay. I know, I know, a knock off of knock offs? I have a blue, not silver, Protege I inherited from my wife. It needed tires and Sears quoted us about $800 mounted and balanced on my old rims. I made the argument to my wife, and just went ahead and bought a wheel tire combo on ebay. I purchased it with wheels/tires/wheel locks. I wanted them because it's my daily driver and if they get stolen or damaged I won't be out mega $$. I have decided I really want to keep it now and can't stop looking at it when I am near it. If you really wanted I could get a pic if it ever stops raining. I really love the gold BBS rims on silver STi's and WRXs, so I don't think it would look bad. Maybe someone could photochop them on?? My wheels literally gave my car a new lease on life here. I got these;

Thanks very much. Even though those look just as nice I think I'm going to go with the Rotas, more reputable.

I made an attempt at the photoshopping ... I like it.

Looks nice on your car. Rotas are good, I've had a few sets and I don't treat them gently. I only bought these because it's a DD, and I had some paypal credit to buy a combo set off Ebay. I like your gold wheel picture though.

 

[ucMP3]

Ya, I don't mind those at all. And a pretty decent job on the photoshop too!

there is a mp5 around here with the silver/gold wheels. it doesn't look too bad, but it is the only other mp5 besides mine that isn't stock around here. definatly would like to see blue/gold but do what you want, who cares what anybody thinks

 

[1991cc]

Just in case anyone's curious I've decided against the gold.

 

[Pyro-tege]

So you got us all excited, involved. Got our hopes up and now, now you change course? I feel, hurt. I feel used.(sadbanana)

 

[1991cc]

well ... the point of this thread was to help me decide whether or not I wanted the gold ... and I decided not

 

[1991cc]

BTW I've decided against it because I think I'd tire of it

Ive got bronze Rota Slipstreams on my sliver P5 right now... Ill try to get some pictures for you.

 

[1991cc]

thanks, I've considered bronze too.

Okay, this is it I'm going for the gold, for real this time ... I'll post pics when I get them.
