RPf1's in black?

SiGuY22 · 03-24-2008, 01:46 PM

thinking about painting my wheels black, how do you think it will look?

kyller34 · 03-24-2008, 01:47 PM

i love em the way they are but ive seen em in black and they look good as well

***kpSTI*** · 03-24-2008, 01:48 PM

I love the car the way it is now with the rims! Don't change it!

P.S.= your car makes me wish I had purchased a TW Si instead. oh well!

drahgon · 03-24-2008, 01:49 PM

I like them silver, black looks too much like steelies imo. btw, what size are your rims?

SiGuY22 · 03-24-2008, 01:55 PM

Thanks guys, they are 17x8 all around

TeamBadger · 03-24-2008, 02:15 PM

Tire size?

***nbilyue*** · 03-24-2008, 02:38 PM

Haha I wanted to do the same thing on my RR FA5!

I've always though those wheels would be good canidates for a custom time attack paint job, even though I'm not a huge fan of time attack colored rims (I think it's a fad)

I'd keep 'em silver.

Robstunner · 03-24-2008, 03:41 PM

Yea thats what i was thinking too, but hmm...lol i dont know!

***partcrazy*** · 03-24-2008, 04:38 PM

The wheels might as well be steelies if you're gonna paint 'em black. Unless you paint the edges red, blue, etc....

SiGuY22 · 03-24-2008, 05:32 PM

thanks for all the input

1chin3s3_b0i · 03-24-2008, 07:09 PM

leave them silver, black would just ruin a great looking wheel

sweet i am thinking about the same wheels and was wondering if 17's would look too small due to the big lip. They look great on your car! Which offset did you get? +35, +45? any drop or rubbing issues?

**Izzy** · 03-24-2008, 08:33 PM

Stick with silver. Silver is the new sexy.

07jdmsi · 03-24-2008, 08:36 PM

Silver ftw! I can see your view in black, but they are so clean in silver, i own some also on a gg si coupe, and i love them!
