supreme_style21 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Oh no don't do that! I think black rims make the car look like an old, beat police interceptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruticus Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Oh no don't do that! I think black rims make the car look like an old, beat police interceptor. What the heck it doesnt look that bad im not too fond of black rims. I love my alloys or chromes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I personally don't like that style of rim at all. I think making it black will look even worse. 5-spokes or crosslace are the way to go. Thats just my oppinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94CutlassSLCoupe Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Yeah, ones that aren't just solid (have venting for the brakes) look good...but his wouldn't look any better than some black steelies. That pic has a cutlass that looks just like mine but I know it isn't! Who's is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Sorry man, but I think that looks really ugly!!! If you really want to paint them, I think the Pace Car paint scheme looks better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1138 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Sorry man, but I think that looks really ugly!!! If you really want to paint them, I think the Pace Car paint scheme looks better than that. I was thinking about picking up a set of those for my Prix, and painting them just like that. There's a set in a junkyard I frequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimp19 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I like the way my Cutty looks with black crosslace wheels but its also a grey coupe. I think you be better of getting them resurfaced and leaving them with the alloy finish, cause there is way too much contrast between burgandy and black. Just my 2cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no1kicker Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 That photoshop is kinda deceiving. It looks like crap that way (IMO). But gloss black with a silver lip would look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
