Gunmetal TSW's anyone? Pics.

[cRaZySHO.]

Got the camera working again. And here she is! Compliments/complaints welcome!

17x8 TSW Revo's, bathed in Lexus IS300 Gunmetal Grey, wrapped in 245/45/ZR17 Goodyear's.

Sweet! thumb I really like your car. You've built your car very much as I would using functional and tasteful mods. Good job!

I think that your car is SHO-Sweet!! I love the look with those rims on there. Another great looking green SHO for the count!! It makes your car look so stealth! thumb thumb

Ok here comes the first negative.
I like the idea, but to me they look like very dirty rims.

Nice looking car. I like the rims, but not the color.

Is there a lighter shade gun metal?

I am also a guy who likes regular old slicers.

AAHHH, got the camera working again!!! I will swing by tomorrow to take some pics. Then everyone on the Forum will see how nice we do SHOs here in Norwalk, CT!! wink

 

[MartianSHO]

Looks sweeeeet....

I like this look better now.

i just got my 19s powder coated and now I don't like the wheels for some odd reason so it will be back to the powder coating shop for another color.

Here are some "black pearl" rims.

Looks great! I think it's just the shaded lighting that makes them look "dirty". The first pic of the wheels alone look cool.

 

[SHOmuchFUN]

I agree with Bluto and think they look dirty. I have the TSW REVOs in the original silver finish and love the way they look when polished, clean, and shiney... Besides the curb rash, of course cuss

If I were to powder coat, I would draw more attention to these nice looking rims, rather than make them blend into the wheel well, IMHO. shrug

 

[Speedy_91_SHO]

Second negative...I don't really like the rims and I hate gunmetal. Why spend money on rims only to blend them into the tire? shrug The car looks nice though. I love the "rare green" and the blue SHO's.

 

[RI-SHO]

I love them thumb , your SHO is really coming along now, I find it hard not to envy all the work thats done to it and the current result.

Next time take the pictures in the bright sun with no shade and use some green tire tint wink (j/p about the tire tint)

 

[FAST4DR]

Looks Shweeeeet. I was contemplating painting my rims a light gunmetal color, since my front wheels are usually gunmetal anyhow from the brake dust.

Now why doesn't my car sit like yours in the front? Did you lower the strut in the spindles?

I think I am going to lower mine, but it looks like I can only go about a 1/2" and I still don't think it will look like yours.

You think it'll get lower than this:

 

[cRaZySHO.]

I cut a coil off of my Intrax springs in the front. And I have the Bondurant struts, when compared to the stock struts, they have the area where the pinch bolt goes, lower down than stock. I don't know why. But when I did the swap I could tell the difference while they were next to each other. So technically, they already have the lowered "pinched" area.

 

[ShoGuy93]

Looks good man I love the gun metal look. Only if that rim had a lip to it. It would look even better!! good job... thumb

 

[SHODOGG]

Dude that looks HOT. Gunmetal rims are the ruler.
