Pics of My 2000 Protege w/ kit

[nate0123]

Thinking of a style change in the wheels. I am considering these for my car. Do you think it would look cool with gunmetal wheels?

I like gunmetal on silver, but I think there are better styles.

for example, Mackdaddy's gunmetal Exel TZ-10s on Silver P5 (Jim: hope you don't mind me borrowing this image)

Yea, w/o the side moldings the car looks so much better..My DX has nothing done to the exterior and looks 100x better..im looking into konig verdicts for mine..those wheels you have now are really nice..im not sure how it would look with gunmetal 5-spoke..i would go 6..

I am just not a big fan of the six spoke wheels. Those five spokes I just think look awesome. I have wanted them for a while.

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

true..i think my car will look kinda wierd for a while with verdicts an no kit..hmm..Im looking at konig monsoons as well..sigh..i need money..

nice job on the car looks really good! I think that the car would look cleaner if you leave your mirrors black and paint your door handles... kinda like that P5 a few posts up.

 

[Protege2K]

Yeah I was liking the look of the P5 up there. The mirrors are definately staying black because that goes good with the tint, the handles are the undecided.

I used to hate everything but five-spoke wheels, but now I realize that they are kinda past their time, so to speak. I agree about getting gunmetal though. I wanna get dark wheels too for my silver.

Are gunmetal wheels much easier to keep clean. I hate having to constantly clean my silver wheels.

Actually, not really . . . I was surprised how much the gunmetals show dirt. A couple days after washing them they start looking dirty. But that's probably cause it always rains right after I wash my car, and wet wheels pick up dirt.

Bronze wheels probably wouldn't show dirt though. (dunno)

 

[Protege2K]

I will probably decide after I get done with the springs. The seven spokes may look pretty good once all is said and done. Besides I can't afford to spend the money on new wheels when my new seats are gonna run me around a thousand. Need more money.

About the gunmetal wheels...mine can go for quite a bit without showing dirt, but being that I'm anal about shiny wheels, I clean them all the time. I personally like the way gunmetal looks on red, but maybe thats just me. BTW, that car looks incredible man...keep it up.

 

[Familia323]

Hell Yeah Man!! Nice looking car.. (take off the DX stickers)...

 

[Protege2K]

That is next on my list of things to do.
