what color do you guys think i should get the middle part of my GT-As powdercoated? i was thinking about doing a shade darker silver (kinda weak gunmetal color), bronze, takata green, army green, or gold. what colors would you guys think?
photoshops/edits are welcome and encouraged :)
heres the wheels

BTW, the lips on the rears are pretty curb rashed. would it be smart to get them polished? i was told by someone that they have a clearcoat on them and they'd fade after a few months if i get them polished. is that true? if so, could i get them re-clearcoated from a wheel shop?

I dark neutral color would be good, gunmetal or bronze, nothing crazy like green.

this is what gave me the green idea. but it'd probably be ricer if it was on a DD car. and i dont really like attention. maybe for track wheels eventually

I was gonna go with green mesh on my white hatch, but then I sold it. Certain colors ONLY look good depending on the rim.

that sounds tight. i'll do an edit when i get home
silver or chrome on polished lip is the new black on polished lip
anyhow..
break it down you say? ok, i will
black with polished lip = 1999
black with black lip = shazzam the jamm
silver 1 piece = lame-o
silver with polished lip = mac daddy in a caddy
chrome with polished = mafia tight ballerness
pink wheels = way to play to the "metro-world", fuckign pansies
takata green wheels = baller if on the right car..
red flake center with polished lip = off the heexie my neezies

find the center caps ... get nice lugs... and fix them up a little (tinny curb-age idk) ... dont find gt-a's anymore so I consider the original look the best in terms of their possible value for being discontinued

light gunmetal is nice. :) but then again i'm partial to gunmetal wheels. becareful on the clear coating. im not 100% sure on the clear coating on rays wheels, but if they're similar to what racinghart does to their wheels, it would be extremely hard to find a repair facility in the us that can replicate what japan does. might want to see what is recommended first before fixing it. I fixed my wheel after flatening the lip (don't ask what happened :(), and the lips don't match.

the curb-age in the back is kinda bad. idk. i cleaned the volks today, theyre in better shape than i thought. maybe il just get some new lugs and centercaps (120 bucks for those suckers!) and i'll see what i think.
everythign looks so crappy on my car right now cuz its winter

BTW there is a clear coat on the wheels if you get them repolished it will fade slightly, it happened to my enkei's but if u get like mothers polish and polish them about once a month when you wash the car they look better and shine way more than with clear coat. i would get them repolished if i was u

you have to upload the photo to an image hosting site such as photobucket or imageshack. then copy the url (the web address) of the picture into the dialog box.

You tell someone you have Gold rims on a Pearl White car and they look at you like you just rolled down Crenshaw bouncing on Daytons.
Man do they feel stupid when they see ^^^!
Paint the centers the same color as the GT-U Gold!! get a new sticker set also.
Those of you Hating on the PINK... I understand, but I still love Yashio Factory, and girls ass....
Takata Green on the White STi is so awsome!!
Peace
