Rims and Colors
 
I have a winning blue baby, but I'm gonna get my rims Powder Coated this summer. I wanna be original but at the same time I wanna know what color you guys thinks look best on the WB's. I don't really have a program that i can photo shop some different colors on there either. so if you guys have any pics or whatever it may be, i would really appreciate it. i was thinking white just cause i dont ever really see it but not sure how it will look. any opinions wanted. thanks.

i like bronze or gunmetal. there are plenty of pictures in the calling all winning blues thread.

RX8pwnage 04-27-2010 07:38 PM

I like gunmetal and white on blues. White is too much for me personally though, so I have gunmetals.

white OEM's on a vr, i think it would look decent on a WB

treaven20 04-28-2010 08:05 AM

I will post a pic of my wheels just to give u an idea my car is black with candy royal blue wheels I will post thr pic when I get home because I don't know how to post pics with my iPhone.

i don't know if he needs ideas for non winning blue 8s so the blue on black won't help him much. although morbid curiosity has me wondering what they look like (i remember seeing a WWP with blue and really didn't like it). i do think that white looks nice on blue but isn't practical. not sure that i'm really digging the white on VR.

flaps720 04-28-2010 02:45 PM

i've debated the same with my WB. I think the only ones that really look good are bronzes, blacks, and gunmetals. I think the white makes it look too "rx8 type R." I did start thinking crazy too, I think LIME GREEN would look pretty sick with the WB. haha, if your balsy enough.

Go with black with a blue strip

It would :icon_tup: :)

a black rim with a lime green rim.... be so sweet lol. it really would

pdxhak 04-29-2010 12:21 PM

Not to be rude but you want to be original but want opinions on how to roll with your setup?

treaven20 04-29-2010 02:59 PM

yup, opinions are opinions. at the end of the day, im gonna do whatever i want. i was curious what other people thought. and since you like to add your GED comments and not one opinion to the topic at hand... move along. thanks and have a nice day.

Atilla 04-29-2010 03:04 PM

random thought - do you have forza 3 or gt??

if so, have you tried playing with the color schemes on there?? Would save you the trouble of trying to visualize it mentally.

if not all good.

I say white wheels w/blue time attack stripe and finish it off with blue lug's.

treaven20 04-29-2010 03:06 PM

i dont have it.... my buddy was telling me that you can do that on there tho. time attack stripe? like around the outside of the rim?

Atilla 04-29-2010 03:08 PM

yup, like a small stripe along the edge of the rim. Would be best if done in a gloss color.

treaven20 04-29-2010 03:09 PM

would be dope. only thing is, idk if my powder coat company can do it. i would have to ask

pdxhak 04-29-2010 03:20 PM

GED opinion? I'm sure I'm too stupid for even that level of competence.

treaven20 04-29-2010 03:37 PM

and yet you continue to put a pointless follow-up. move on.

pdxhak 04-29-2010 03:45 PM

I'm like the the dumb relative that does not know when to leave.

The Reverend 04-29-2010 03:47 PM

:lol:

matte black w/ blue stripe?

treaven20 04-29-2010 03:55 PM

for some reason, i just cant let the white go.... idk why. or a high gloss or flat black?

Atilla 04-29-2010 03:58 PM

wait...do you have any appearance parts?? ie bodykit or at least oem appearance??

jw because white wheels(or any colored oem wheels) on an unmodified car = ricey

that's imo of course.

treaven20 04-29-2010 04:02 PM

i have the back side skirts and the front ya.... profile pics are there if you wanna check it out
