I wanted 19" Black rims with a Green outline maybe a little chrome in the black also. I searched TireRack.com and a couple of other sites but couldnt find anything but black rims with red outlines. My cars nordic green so i think it mite look pretty sexy, what do you think?

 

well your going to have to buy wheels then get them custom finished. like this guy did with his porsche

nice..............looks pretty low key fierce.......
by the way, what is the colour of your ride to go with the rim??

 

Yeah your going to have a very hard time finding the exact wheel you want in that color scheme. RWD+LSD=Zoom, said it, you'll need to just find a rim and get it powder coated to your liking. Good luck.

 

probably this one. haha

 

My rides Nordic green, i love it because sometimes depending on how the light hits my car it looks like it changes colors, Sometimes it will look gray or black.

I really cant fing rims anywhere but thanks for the help. where could i get them painted? just like any body shop?

 

find a powder coating place.

 

back in the day we had a member called mantis. she had a nordic green like you and she put bronze volk te 37's on. they were bad *** looking with that color. just another thought for you, rather than going custom. bc you still need to purchase wheels to begin with.

nothing worse then spending what ever your budget is on wheels then wanting to go and spend 100 plus per wheel just to get them refinished.

i know its 100 plus for a good refinish because my wheels are at a local wheel shop right now

 

shouldn't cost much to powdercoat them. my brother in laws friend (best man in his wedding) powdercoated mine for $100 for 4, and those were 15x9 steelies with beadlock rings that i used for rock crawling. yeah it was a discount obviously but powdercoating takes no time at all and is cheap to do.

 

They do seem pretty sexy, They look alot like the STI rims. Thats alot of dough to get them refinished maybe ill consider not going custom haha

 

What if i bought black rims with the red outline strip and just got the red strip painted over to green, is that possible? It should run me that much

 

you would have to check out your local shops. ask your local mazda dealer where they get their curbed/rashed wheels fixed. they might be able to point you in the direction for a good deal.

i have tried to stay away from powdercoating because once the paint becomes weak in any spot it spreads. flaking and cracking. and it tends to scratch fairly easily. just my 2 cents on powdercoating.

 

That sucks but i feel you on the flaking, I bought my ride used with the stock rims on it and the inner part of the rim is flaking its not that bad..yet

 

just found this pic of mantis' car


its hard to really see but thats the best i can do. the car looked awsome with the color combo... i will keep looking for you

 

One more

 

That does look pretty badass. I think the gold probably will look better than the black with green ring. Much easier to find and get as well. Plain old black would look ok I think as well.

 

Cool, I think it will stand out with this colour combo.........
I got my rims painted at the local spray paint shop......so I presume yours should be able to do it too........

All the best and post some pics when its done........

Cheers

 

haha i deff will


Im realling digging those bronze wheels and really considering them, They work nice with my cars color. Good call with the rims RWD+LSD=Zoom

 

she was a big part of our local forum awhile back. she worked for mazsport. The car looked so badass with those wheels. she also had ms sideskirts towards the end. it was looking very clean

 

It will be hard to find wheels with stripes on the wheels to match your liking but for me I found the rims I liked then bought custom red striping match fitting my wheels for five bucks. They have all different colors and sizes to fit your wheel and they might be able to match your car color. I installed them myself in less then thirty minutes and had them for several months with no problems.

 

is that orange or red?

 

looks orange to me but also looks very sexy

 

i have NG with bronze and like the combo. there are a few old pics in my vbGarage in my signature.

 

It is red my old camera does not take good pictures. Maybe I need to take a picture with my iphone it seems to take better pics!
