What color wheels?

[FrankenMazda3]

So I have decided that I'm getting Enkei PF01's 18x8 now it's time to pick which color silver or flat black? I have a black car with green calipers and badges and interior pieces. Would getting silver wheels look better than black ones.

i'd go with flat black bro! that would look sick!

buy silver and have them powder coated green.

That would look good but I think it would be overkill on the green. It's a accent on my car, once I purchase a spoiler I'm painting green strips on it where the spoiler meets the hood. I guess I would what to see what it looks like. I still think black would look pretty sweet.

What spoiler did you get after all? I have black on my 3 and it gets a bunch of looks. My wife drives it more and she told me people are always telling her nice car.

The OEM spoiler, but haven't bought it yet, buying the wheels and eibach sportline lowering kit first.

Do you have a pic of the oem spoiler?

 

[FrankenMazda3]

While I'm not usually a big fan of black wheels I voted for the flat black. They will look great with the green calipers sitting behind them and with the rest of the accents you have going on.

I was thinking the same thing, but having green calipers would look good, I love the design of the PF01's they will show off the caliper very well.

Hmm. I will have to think about that, who's 3 is that?

I'm lookin into getting that spoiler too. gonna have a shop put a deep red gloss pinstripe on the back border to compliment my wheels.

I voted black because it's just gonna look better with the green. what you could also do is take them to a pro paint shop and have them spray the middle of the spokes green. I think that would me awesome.
my 2 cents

 

[FrankenMazda3]

^ I can easily get that done and would look good without being overkill. Like a green fade to black would look cool.

 

[justanothermp5]

ummm, not sure on whos car it is, if you type in "brightly colored wheels" into google, theres a thread on the mazda3 forums. thats where I got the pic from

 

[ToNeZ90]

yeah the idea of the green in between the spokes would make it look cool while moving but also neutralize the brightness of the green that you get when the car is parked

 

[FrankenMazda3]

Now another question for you, Would a Eibach Sportline lowering kit look better on 18's than the pro kit?

 

[ToNeZ90]

I have the 1" drop eibach springs AND 18x8 wheels with 225/40/18 tires if ya need a pic ill post it. Only prob i have is that i might need a camber kit. Back wheels are a little on the negative side. MASSIVE traction for autoX tho lol

I would get flat black or like mentioned, powder coat the silver ones green. But if you left them silver, there would be too many contrasting colors, IMO.

 

[FrankenMazda3]

I'm thinking that too. It does not look right with silver wheels now. So Black is definitely what I'm gonna get
