thunkrd 04-16-09 11:49 AM

jete 04-16-09 11:49 AM

What colour do you think??

reisama 04-16-09 11:56 AM

grey or silver

Kerebrus 04-16-09 11:59 AM

Paint them black.

paint your car copper and I think......DISCO!!

The wheels themselves are really nice, but the copper colour is ugly. Paint the centers either black or a gunmetal colour, and they'll look alot better.

But who knows, that's just my opinion. Maybe you'll start a new fad with the copper coloured wheels.

paint them to match one of the colors of the car. possibly more the darker color.

PercentSevenC 04-16-09 01:22 PM

+1 for gunmetal.

Rotarx7 04-16-09 02:16 PM

+1 on black. Like they say... once you go black, youll never go back

reisama 04-16-09 02:17 PM

The wheels themselfs are nice, but they don't match your overall color palet. Paint them 1 of the 3 colors that are already on your car. As you already have 2 shades of grey and black. I would go with the darker grey you have on your car, would look extremly nice.

Super82 04-16-09 02:31 PM

I love copper/orange coloured wheels on cars, and I love your paint scheme, but man it just doesn't seem to work on an FB.

DivinDriver 04-16-09 02:42 PM

I think a hammered-effect gunmetal finish would look good.

twinkletoes 04-16-09 03:51 PM

Screw black centers with polished lip. Too many people have it and the fags with escalades ruined it for us. Do gunmetal or something else. :icon_tup: One of the two tone colors on your car. Nice 1st gen btw :)

I think so to,they dont match. Mayby if my car was plain silver it would work?
Im thinking of playing it safe this time and go for silver.
I was also thinking of the the dark gray on my car,
but im afraid that might be a little to 1980. But again its and old car,so it
might work.

Com on gays,gimme some pics.

They are RSL

NCross 04-16-09 04:30 PM

Paint the wheels silver with lots of clear coat.

OneRotor 04-16-09 04:57 PM

Gunmetal.

reisama 04-16-09 05:51 PM

i'm in the process of restoring my 84 right now, and painting my suspension silver, and so far love the look, no pictures though sorry. I would keep the paint scheme you have going now, i love it, and use the darker grey on the wheels, as silver would blend too much with the polished rim. If you just darken your wheels, they would match the over all color palet, and look good too, as the only reason i don't like them, is that they are too bright for you car and stand out to much creating an unbalance, if you mute the color a bit, they will look amazing.

Photoshop it and take a look at what option you like best ;)

bad 83 04-16-09 05:56 PM

Yea, that color doesn't go with the car. I found a good color to do the wheels on my BMW. It's not gunmetel. That's been done to death. It's called Storm Grey. A pics worth a thousand words :D

twinkletoes 04-16-09 06:04 PM

That storm gray might work well with your FB. Btw bad 83, hot shine your front bumper if its plastic after every car wash. Works wonders.

blackdeath647 04-16-09 06:18 PM

cool rims but the color doesn't fit, either paint your car, or cheaper to paint the wheels, gray, silver, black, gunmetal or that storm gray have all been good suggestions.
