man i wish i could find a deal that good by me

Ok, so I need your honest opinion. I'm changing up my wheels since I'm going to 5-lug and I chat decide what color to do. Go back to matte black or stick to white??? The wheels are 17x9 +27 MB Weapons with 205/40 tires.


In other news, it looks like I'll be getting my diffuser sooner. Mike, aka weaksauce, has upgraded to CF so he's selling me his for dealz.

I say white. Matte or not, black on black has been ruined by people who buy wheels from belletire. Black on black used to be cool, but then got destroyed by riccers. I say go white. So fresh. And it makes your car look bolder. I love white on your car bro, and I loved the black. But white just makes you stand out so perfectly.

I vote black, your car looked plain evil with the black XXRs

 

[Protege03ak46]

XXR's are gone. Picking up new wheels tomorrow so I can sand blast them on friday.

some people can pull it off. i think you can. but once too many people start doing it, it just gets ruined. youve been black on black forever. and your car is hardly understated.

Thanks Paul! Getting dismounted and going in the media blaster at school today.

Rim specs? And I like the look already. 7 spokes are sexy and the white looks good. But I think you could even pull off a bronze or gunmetal on em

he said 17x9 +27 up the page

 

[ajkulish]

Oops forgot

Update: All the 5-lug stuff has been purchased. I went and picked it up on saturday. It turned out to be from a rolled p5 so some stuff is broke. That said I talked him down to 125, so I think I made out. The the rear lateral arms are bent to hell but everything else seems to be intact. I found some local that ill be picking up soon. I made use of our media blaster at school over the last couple days stripping my wheels clean. Some time over the next 2 weeks ill be powder coating them white. All for free

 

[ajkulish]

thats how you gotta do it ahah. i was even gonna suggest like a pearly white

 

[Protege03ak46]

[Protege03ak46]
