iSooby Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 That's pretty cool lookin! But Idk how it would look on a factory LGT? What color is your car? Amy body/appearance mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 It is Glacier white. I have a custom grill, center cut out and painted white around the outside and black in the middle. My eventual plan is to add black and red accents to various places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted May 6, 2012 I Donated Share Posted May 6, 2012 not trying to be an asshole.....but I'll give you my thoughts. Two tone rims always look tacky...they look like crap no matter what they are on. Stick with one solid color. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Death Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 not trying to be an asshole.....but I'll give you my thoughts. Two tone rims always look tacky...they look like crap no matter what they are on. Stick with one solid color. on a bright purple car with neon green trim, I think it would be ok to put on some neon green wheels with bright purple trim.

TbirdMan Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Yeah, I will probably either go all black, or keep the "face" (these are the 30th anniversary limited wheels with the machined face) alloy and do gunmetal or black in the pockets.

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted May 6, 2012 I Donated Share Posted May 6, 2012 The darker colors on the inside isn't nearly as bad...still not really my type of thing though. Just for the love of God...please do not do bright colors....lol -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

TbirdMan Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 lol, yeah, i wasn't really happy with how the first ones looked either, I am trying to ride the thin line between classy/sporty and rice. I want to be noticed, but not seen as a tool if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 also, if anyone has suggestions i i can try them in GIMP. I have the pattern saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 on a bright purple car with neon green trim, I think it would be ok to put on some neon green wheels with bright purple trim. ^^^Like my friend Kwame used to tell me, "It's a black thing, you wouldn't understand". So to each his own. My snowflakes......oh those poor bastards were beat up so bad when I got the car that when I got my new wheels and tires I just told the shop to do whatever they wanted with them. I'm happy to never have to see those curb rashes again! New wheels and brakes make me love the car all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TbirdMan Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 yeah texas, I considered new rims, but these are in okay shape, just need refinishing, and I like the look of the stock snowflakes, (which is hard to find aftermarket). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twisty Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I think the black/ red would look great on a black car. But what do I know? I have a black/ silver civic as a second car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylormac1993 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I like the 3rd one best. I think if you're gonna paint your rims, don't paint them the same color as the pavement or your tires. Black rims look okay if you have white wall tires haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
