Opinions Wanted

[twr]

That's it - I saw my rims on a Minivan yesterday - it's time for a change. I buddy of mine runs a powder coating business, so I can affordably change the color of the wheels. Just want some of your guys opinions.
This is how the car looks now.

This is how it would look with a darker color.

Thoughts?? Ideas?? Different Colors?? I thought about getting them Polished.

Thanks..

its someth'n different thats for sure. they look ok. if you were going for that one of a kind look you got it

 

[twr]

That's my attempt with the limited software I have access to.

I'd leave it as is, or have them polished. The other looks like it has 5 years of brake dust buildup.

i defenitely like the look of the silver wheel. I think the others make the car look too dull.

 

[PROPHET]

To dull for my taste.

 

[Deuermeyer]

what van are those off of?

 

[shojuan]

I think they look much better the way they are. The second picture looks like they are just filthy with brake dust. Who cares if some van had them. Maybe the van owner has good taste in wheels and bad taste in cars?

I like it! I have a "rare green" Gen 2. I have TD RIM 2000's Anthersites. ( Fredhas the same rims I do on his Mocha)

I vote for the silver wheels, nice contrast against the green. The grey wheels would look nice on a red, white, or silver SHO IMHO.

I can polish the spokes,and you can paint the rest of the "ring" black.

TWRSHO, I had the Volvo T5R wheels on my car. And they were the same color as those(dark grey). And I too drive a 95 green MTX. I loved the way mine looked. I think your car would look sick, do it.

Just have the lips polished for that extra "eye candy" effect , If not Jeremy's idea isnt bad.

 

[tlw4ever]

go with polished look

Enkei RS6's are probably the best selling rim in the nation right now I believe. I had them on my SHO... then I saw an Eclipse down the street with them... then a 01' Eclipse with them... then a Honda Civic... and the final straw was a Neon...

I like the anthracite look on lighter colored cars.

What sucks is I bought these wheels 2 years ago. I got the new style center caps to try and give the wheels a different look. The van I saw them on was a Sienna - had 13" with 75 series tires on it. shoot

[SHO n'prove]

This might be a wild reply, but here goes. Bright red. Stay with me for a minute. The red wheels will match the red taillights. I have the same color scheme. My rims are silver 10 spokes with red center caps. It looks hot. You don't have as many spokes, so coating the whole rim red (I think) would work nicely. Obviously, this would be very showy, but it would look good. Take it a step further and put some red cornering lights in the front, and that thing would look craaazy in the dark. Trust me, I know. Another idea would be yellow, but personally I think green and yellow is too predictable.
