Black only for sure, the red looks really out of place.

BunaSTi · 01-13-2008, 11:09 AM

i like the back looks good good idea on the red too not too bad

Go with balck and a red lip will look much better, otherwise they look like those konigs with the replacable colored pieces, which I might add look horrible

**Alex** · 01-13-2008, 01:19 PM

Spray some clear on it

Its certainly unique, I like it.

ManInABox · 01-13-2008, 01:25 PM

Black FTW!

MGizzle · 01-13-2008, 02:49 PM

Plain black dude. Get rid of that red stuff, looks like a flower or something.

jtrafidlo · 01-13-2008, 02:57 PM

Red looks god aweful!

2nedSTI · 01-13-2008, 02:58 PM

better make this a poll, replies are varied enough I think......

The flat black looks really nice on them, you only used spray paint? I am impressed with the quality of the paint job coming from a can.

I would have to say the red looks bad IMO. I wish I had the balls to take a $2 dollar spray can and paint over factory BBS wheels, still cant find it in myself to do it yet haha.

JustinH · 01-13-2008, 04:59 PM

was this flat black? it seems to have a little more shine then flat. maybe a semi-gloss or egg-shell black? im painting my rims soon and i liked the ways urs came out(well the black portion at least)

jermdeez · 01-14-2008, 09:21 PM

lets see em on the car before we decide. I thouht about similar idea with white

jermdeez · 01-14-2008, 09:22 PM

I say paint the spokes fully red, and keep a big black lip/inside of rim

Mi_Black_Pearl · 01-15-2008, 08:16 AM

stick both on the same side of the car and post a pic of that side to make a better decision...(im also debating painting mine > powdercoating)
