hi guys, I decided to paint my rims, I would appreciate if anyone can post some pics of the 14 stockies painted black and the stock 16 (5 spokes)painted bronze on a red car, thnx in advance

Saludos desde Mexico

Black will look great on a red car, but bronze will be the hotness. You don't need pictures. Just paint them bronze. It's the new trend, I'm telling you. :thumbsup

(PS - Go for the larger wheels if you can. The smaller size of the 14s will offset any new look you do.)

yeah Im getting the 16 inch rims so I guess I'll go bronze, but what kinda bronze, cuz ive seen like gold bronze and real dark bronze...any suggestions?

Soy originario de Tijuana, B.C. pero vivo en California desde el 99. apenas tengo 19 años, asi que estoy joven todavia. Tengo my carcacha desde el 2003, si tienes alguna pregunta, especialmente sobre mods para el interior, dejame saber, asta el momento le e hecho algunos sutiles pero de buen gusto a mi carro que es casi igual al tuyo (RS, rojo, pero sin ala trasera)

I say you go with black rims, these are the ones I'll put on mine eventually:

Not black. anything but black. Black is horrible and ugly. No one wants to see black rims on any car.

that is all.

guys im definetly going for bronze, im getting the gst rims for 300dlls with tires is it too much?

polished, that is all I have to add to this thread

but seriously, if you're going to paint them, why not look into your powder coating options

Well im getting my new rims in one week, i still have no idea how good does it look painted (or powdercoated) bronze, any pics plz? btw I AM getting the 5spoke gst rims....

I got real dark ones on my white eclipse and no one can believe how good they look. The dark bronze says , " Yo soy el hefe""

stock chromies ftw. I've had my eyes out for a cheap set, they never seem to show up though.

My friend has a red car and he polished the lip and painted the wheel bronze. It doesn't look bad imo. I don't have a pic with the bumper painted yet, but I'm sure you will get an idea of what it looks like. He made a write-up on DSMTuners (username is DSMCrazy3) on how he painted it so check it out.
