There's nothing worse than black wheels with a red ring. I don't understand why that scheme has gotten so popular.

[HyperTek]

thats not so bad..
bad enough his car is a wannabe M

[shishcabobers]

nah dude they are

What a noob. He should've taken the wheels off and put the car on jackstands. This would've allowed him to better clean and prep the wheels before paint. This guy did a half ass job and got paint all over the brake rotors.

[S14DB]

Way to foul the brake pads...

[brewster240]

at least he painted the brakes and tires too.

nothing like being thorough.

[drifter808]

this has gotten pretty popular here ( at least Big Island) with all the Honda's. I always see bone stock civics with ime attack paint scheme on stock rims.

[mkiv98]

my god, epic fail

[projekt_s13]

God i hate those dumb checker flag decals, and the guy is an idiot for not masking the tires and removing the wheels before painting. But they do look better then before.

Somewhats agree, agree and agree.

The checker decal can be pulled off if you have a dedicated track car, but thats about it.

Yes he is. My BMW wheels are getting painted too, but its the set I have off the car right now. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

And yeah, IDK what it is, but alot of stock BMW wheels, like from 99 and up, look like crap. I like the old bbs meshies better than the newer flat 7 spokes. And they dont look too bad for being cheapo knockoffs.

[BustedS13]

the generic checkered flag decal sucks. the nismo checkery thing is rad

and that looks awful, looked much better stock :/

You can blame NASCAR for that.

[aziankingz]

hes going to wonder why its so hard to brake soon..

[HyperTek]

wont do shit to the brakes.. you guys dont know much huh.. once he drives it, the paint will get rubbed off.. it wont fuse with the pads , will just get burned off. wont be a serious problem.

painting stock wheels is still not that cool, end result is they are still stock wheels lmao

[BustedS13]

there's a canadian hatch on here with black wheels/red stripe. i think they're work emotions, i dunno, i don't keep up on wheel names. but it's a hot car. it's probably the only example i can think of where those look good.

[worangejuice]

you know this guy'll smoke all of you !!!!!!! hollerr!!!!!!jkjkjkjkjkjk, holklerrrrrrr

a retard like you shouldnt be telling people they dont know much.

the paint could cause problems such as glazing of that pads etc, which is a problem.

painting of stock wheels is still cooler then you.

[alindeman1989]

Man i like how the guy didnt take the 2 mins to take the rims off the car. lol wtf

[Kn1ves]

Since the sticker is ON the wheel, there is no HP loss.

+15WHP

[shinhed]

I kinda like'em (braces for neg reps).

Oh...wait..wait a minute, there's no longer a rep system?!?! In that case...

I think it looks fucking great!!!!!!!!!!

[IIIXziuR]

The red stripe with the black wheel looks horrible.
And that checkered flag decal above the head lamp area is equally as bad.
WTF would you do that?

[jackjack]

ungh

no

just no

[ZX88]

damn baller status right there. lol

[FaLKoN240]

How about white with green lip?

He doesn't own a jack?

[adrians_s13]

omg... is it really that hard to take off the damn wheels? he could have used index cards if he didn't wanna remove the rubbers..

horrible execution. reminds me of this one time I went to a car meet/show at Super autobacs and some dude spray painted his valve cover with the valve cover still on the engine. He had over spray everywhere...

ughh yeah kuruptr's car is hot

but the wheels are fucking stupid

everyone liked his car more with the white te's

nascar nascar nascar nascar nascar

[allntrlundrgrnd]

lol including me.

i like that paint scheme though

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w32/BorHor/Vex/FN01RC/P8071355.jpg

[dirtdiggler666]

all the rims look like shit next to the guy that posted the white cr kai's black rims cool black rims with red ring not so cool another damn gay trend

[420sx]

i don't get it. i think the scheme is ugly. i mean i'd do it for a customer but if you can do all other stuff why bother with jank ? i guess it comes down to 12 dollars versus hundreds to get wheels professionally done

[HyperTek]

a retard like you shouldnt be telling people they dont know much.

the paint could cause problems such as glazing of that pads etc, which is a problem.

painting of stock wheels is still cooler then you.

sure :blah:
spray canned paint wouldnt be strong enough to do that, go try it then come back and post in here

[justaKAiswear]

Black with the red lip is hotness.... on nice wheels.


On stock ugly as Bimmer rims, it looks like shit. BMW 3-series buys are some of the biggest ricers and douchebags out there. One of the reasons I got rid of my E36 a few years back was due to their snobby jerk-off car community.

[arkive43]

:rofl:


as soon as i saw that last pic :duh:

[gosu22]

Different demographics like different things. I think it looks better, that's my personal opinion.

[DOOK]

sure :blah:
spray canned paint wouldnt be strong enough to do that, go try it then come back and post in here

depends on the paint... with any luck the BMW guy used high heat enamel and it will glaze his shit and he'll wreck and not reproduce.

[blackrms13]

Black wheel with red lip scheme used to be cool with me...i use to have a set...
but as soon as FNs and all the other random company came out with the same color scheme, it just not as unique anymore

RedSquare's car is another good example of how good the Time Attack scheme look on black cars

[HyperTek]

depends on the paint... with any luck the BMW guy used high heat enamel and it will glaze his shit and he'll wreck and not reproduce.

hmmm forgot about the high temp.. if he spent a shitload of time trying to spray thru the spokes....

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

here's the thing about time attack. on the kuruptR and redsquare cars..... those wheels are actually made by ray's in the time attack scheme. stock wheels aren't exactly in the same class. looks dumb. and not taking off the wheels..... you'd think he drove an s-chassis or something.

Friends don't let friends paint wheels "takata" green.

+1. car looks completely badass

[Bubbles]

He doesn't own a jack?

He owns a BMW..........he wouldn't even know how to operate a jack.

[maplejesse]

Don't BMW's come with jacks that you can put in those little nifty holes in the skirts of the car?

[allntrlundrgrnd]

Friends don't let friends paint wheels "takata" green.

unless they are these :naughty:

all the rims look like shit next to the guy that posted the white cr kai's black rims cool black rims with red ring not so cool another damn gay trend

Hehe thanks!

No that isn't the final ride height.

After seeing the wheels like that, I was thinking about running some spares white faced with lime green lip...

I think it'll be the new trend.

I'm sick of fucking flat pink wheels or neon green.

2009 is all about different colored wheels with different color lips :bowrofl:

[Stoichiometric]

It doesn't look that bad. The red stripe is thin and it seperates the lines from the car.

What is horrible is the checkered flag thing.

[Stoichiometric]

The black fastback is nice.

The red lip does go with the car. Markers are red as well as the Kouki tail lights. It goes in correlation with the car.

Imagine the car is an outfit, you're wearign a Black shirt (black paint job) with red accents (markers and Kouki lights), and your shoes (wheels) were black with red laces (red lip)

It's not that ridiculous at all.

[PF ALL DAY]

And what's the point of a bimmer if it can't pass smog?

[LB.Motoring]

Damnit,

the whole point was to see how he took no effort to remove the wheel to do such a hack job.



TA looks good on aggressive wheels only.
