Prospeeder Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Like, Im gonna be painting my xlaces ya know, and im now having second thoughts on what color, Black (like c-bads) or Dark Gray metallic Black http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/dave64bit/June505avatar.jpg Gray Metallic http://www.clubgp.com/mods/37/woowoo5.jpeg im afraid the black would make it look like a black blob with a ring around it, you wouldnt be able to see the spokes at all, but the dark gray would look great and dark but show the spokes, im in a toss up, what do yall think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RareGMFan Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I just bought myself a set of gunmetal grey crosslaces off a member at ClubGP. Black looks ok, too, but I'm going to have touches of gunmetal and aluminum throughout the car (including the charcoal grey leather interior I scored a while back), so I thought it would suit it better.

z284pwr Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hey, let me know what you figure out and let me know, I'm really interested in doing this to? Do you still have the tire on the wheel and everything? Any pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Sure, ill see if i can get pics for ya, heres a write up, just go to wal mart to find the aircraft stripper, i have the tire still on the wheel, its fairly easy to spray with it on, just dont get anything on the tire, i could be bad, its quite time consuming too, im just starting tho, wheel #1 is almost stripped http://www.clubgp.com/cgi-asp/mods.asp?modid=37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RareGMFan Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 The car my wheels are coming off from looks just like that, except the wheels have aluminum center caps. But I've been planning on those same wheels and center caps scheme ever since I saw that write up a year ago. The red in them would accent the TGP perfectly, and tie in the wheels to the car even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospeeder Posted September 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'd like to see more pics of the shiney! You've done a great job of stripping them down and shining them up, can't wait to see them painted!! m afraid the black would make it look like a black blob with a ring around it, you wouldnt be able to see the spokes at all, but the dark gray would look great and dark but show the spokes, im in a toss up, what do yall think Paint them black. Yes, sometimes it does look like you are driving w/ 2 rings, but your rotors and calipers show though anyways- if you paint the calipers red (match the car) it looks real good. If you paint the wheels gunmetal or something I think they will just look like DIRTY black wheels. Shiney black looks so good I love my wheels, you won't regret it!! alright! i decided im going with black, a GOOD picture of the shiny will come, im almost done with wheel #3, Fair wendsday-sunday and having to babysit is making it hard to finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
