darker wheels or not?
Saturday, January 20, 2007 7:50 AM
ok so i found this Car-Art washable spray paint stuff and i wanted to see what my wheels would look like a darker color. I know its not the best of spray jobs, but it was just to get an idea. Tell me what you think.....

i like it. it gives the car more of a tuner look instead of stock. try the bronze washable and leave the lip stock color. that would look hot! do they have bronze ?

Bronze FTW

Check out my post on wheels and tires forum where I actually went ahead and buggered up my stock wheels and ended out with a wicked finish in metallic bronze. Duplicolour makes a good wheel paint. Don't forget the top coat though. Lacquer seems to work very well.

holy crap... i didnt know you could fit 95-99 z24 COUPE side skirts on a sedan?! never seen that done thats for sure.

anyways... i say keep them stock color until you get some "non-stock" looking mods

or just go with rims, or hell if you like the black... lol i think you should at least go with gloss black like others have said.

so is that washable paint really "Washable?"

the side skirts are the same for both cars, they have the same wheel base, just the doors are shorter on the sedans. cause right before i traded my fire i modified a set of coupe side skirts by cuttin off the things that stick up and i mounted them on. but as far as the wheels, glossy black FTW!!!!!!!!!!!
