for me there's a slickness about one solid color as long as it's silver, black, or white.

White car-white rims
Black car-black rims
Silver car-silver rims


Then throw some decals on there that are opposite of the color of your car, and you've got a decent setup IMO

Yeah but you gotta understand.... he had solid silver wheels on it already. He took them off. Now he's got the stockers painted black.

The silver ones were black with a polished lip, and they looked good. But when he painted them 100% silver they kinda lost something.

Here they were black.polished still:


Here they were painted silver:


They weren't BAD persay.



OOOF!! My bad! DAMN! I just used your OWN thread to whore out your car!!!! LMAO!!! I love you!!

IMO... I think since he already has a plain set... why not have a FUN set as well? Paint the Rota's a funky color and keep the stockers black. Or vice versa.

I think that'd look good on white, black, blue, red... but I'm not sold on that combo on a Silver car.
