give me your opinion (photoshop, sportmax 501's)

[BustedS13]

"buy real wheels lol!" guys need not apply.

the car: '92 hatchback, sunset orange metallic/black roof. soon to have silvia front end. no body kit. well, maybe OEM skirts and a kouki rear valance. but i'm not going to go out of my way to get them. suspension is AGX's/Sportlines, and no, i don't plan to go lower. i drive this car every day, i don't need to be scraping on everything. i might get Tein Flex's down the road.

the wheels: Sportmax 501's. 16x8, +15.

the photoshop: gunmetal and silver wheels. which do you prefer, and what do you think would look good with the orange?

the second picture i think looks better.

[chmercer]

generally when you use photoshop the car should look better in the after picture, not the before picture

....they're both after pictures. the car's sitting on stock 7 spokes.

[hwy1]

I think you should pick the one you like better. who gives a F**k if you find someone who doesn't like them. thats there problem.

[markyboi]

basically what he is saying is that stock looks better than the pic you posted

Have you decided on those rims? if so, I think the gunmetal ones look good. I may be wrong but I am assuming that this car is drifted? if this is also true when the e- brake is pulled the stopped spokes of the wheel will not stand out as much, making e brake initiating drifts look smoother. If one is pulling the e-brake to start a drift or correct a drift it is good to be sutble with the e-brake. In the end what really matters is what you like. You are the one that is going to be driving the car. When you asked what would look good with the orange, were you talking about outside or in side (engine bay/ interior)? Usually blue complements the orange pretty well.

*I realize you stated your car is a daily driver , but my car is also a daily driver and I still work it around corners and parking lots.

You failed photoshop, those look like 14s not 16s so it's hard to give an opinion.

ok...
a.) i haven't 100% decided on these, but i'm leaning towards them.
b.) i do not drift. see attached photo.
c.) i meant which wheels went with the orange paint >.<

You failed photoshop, those look like 14s not 16s so it's hard to give an opinion.
do you see my 15's poking out beyond these wheels? i don't. these are bigger than the 15's, so i'd call them 16's, if not 17's. the s13 just has big wheel wells, and it's not slammed...

you should see the other side of the bumper, then you'd understand why i didn't put much thought into slapping a bumper sticker onto it >.<

dude, that just means you're bad at photoshop.
I'd go with silver if you absolutely HAVE to have those wheels

[C. Senor]

^whateveryone said...and i second the dude above me...silver.

[aznpoopy]

i like the gunmetal color better :P

[ROTTEN EGG]

the silver ones, then slam your car even more.

[WERDdabuilder]

IMO...both look like crap.

[breakindrifts]

At least get the 002's or the 17" 5 spoke ones. Shit I'd rather rock painted teardrops then what you got in the photoshop.

[luckyslide16]

ROFL @ some of the responses!

But in all seriousness I think you would be better of spending your money on some good quality used mesh wheels. something like a black mesh with a polished lip that will go with the orange.

Either way good luck with the decision.

You guys already busted this reply, but I had to add my 2 cents.

Why in hell does wheel color matter when the ebrake is pulled? "Dude, don't get those gunmetal wheels, you won't look cool if you try to initiate a drift." That's the stupidest fucking comment yet.

And blue and orange? Is this a car or a football mascot?

[BustedS13]

thank you. yes, the late 90's are long gone, and with them, rainbow colored interiors. thank god...

heh, as nice as that looks, i've got to drive this thing for hours every day. i'd prefer the softest ride i can have..

and after staring at these wheels for so long, i'm pretty sure i'm not going to bother. between the fake bolts and the universal lug pattern, it's just way too busy. and there's a guy selling new old stock mesh on here for pretty cheap, so i think i'll go that way.

I see your statement here. You dislike the so called hype of drifting. yet you intend to purchase wheels from a company who capitalizes on this "hype". In actuallity, its the people like you who you dislike. do your self a favor and kill yourself.

[SimpleSexy180]

nani? drifting would suck..if you suck at it I guess...

[axiomatik]

wow, so many stupid responses, like ichigomae's post above ^^^^.

silver looks better. and yes, they do look like 16s to me. you people are forgetting that most people on this forum who run 16s use tires with a lower overall diameter than stock, that is why his photoshop looks smaller than 16.

Also, to tht OP, daily driving on coilovers isn't too bad, I drive 60 miles a day on midwest roads on silkroads. your car will look a lot better if it were a couple inches lower.

[arkive43]

While I condone your choice in wheels, I REALLY want that Drifting Sucks sticker, where the fuck can I get one?

i had a half dozen of them made on some website... i can't remember, it's been a few years. they were like 1.50 each, well worth it :D

[KA-T_240]

If only that sticker was individual letters, LOL. Is your car a factory color? it almost looks somewhat orange to me. The silver looks better.

[BustedS13]

it's a factory color.... from GM :D when i had it painted back in '03, they didn't have the info for Nissan's '03 Z orange just yet... so i went with GM's Sunset Orange Metallic, which is pretty much the same shade. as seen on the Grand Prix, Cavalier, Vibe, etc etc.. pretty sure they still use it, i've seen a few GTO's in this color as well. this pic doesn't come near doing it justice. when it's sunny, it's a very bright color.

[sr20det4mys13]

i would go silver with your color car.. and do those have a deap dish lip? cuz i just got the oldschool sportmax 002 they look sick.. but i say silver.. latah

[KwKouki]

no, those wheels are absolutely horrible for for a s13 *they belong on a miata* if you are dead set on sportmax....look into 002's, even then the car will have to be on the floor to even remotely pull it off

[UfoZ8myCow]

I want that Drifting sucks sticker. So I can rock it while I drift lol.

Silver. 002s would look better though.

[ayuaddict]

white 002s.

that's what i'm talking about. 002's just look like complete shit with the polished lip, imo. those don't look half bad, save for the fake rivet holes.

[eastcoastS14]

silver ones look better

yea, those used to be silver. couldnt stand it.

Sorry.

But, dude, those sportmax's look Horrible. I think some one is starting a group buy on the "MB Weapons", those would look better.

Colors? Black/Red(black lip red highlights), Black/Chrome, Silver, and maybe dark purple if you wanted to get knuts.

Yeah, no reason not to 5 lug these days. J30 rears, plus Aftermarket fronts, and you are out the door for like $300. Then you can do brake upgrades out the...etc.

But thanks for catching me, i did not even think about that.
