advice needed. rims?

theres no way i have money for new ones, so im starting to wonder what painted 97 rims would look like. id have to do something unique, i cant see blacked out rims working on a primrose cl.

i guess im just wondering what would look good/whats been done/ some pictures?

There's plenty of threads, search. Personally a gunmetal or bronze would look great on a primrose

your rims are the 5 spoke rims right? hmmmm on a primrose?

well im always trying to go for whatever is safe. and for me thats black spoke with polished lip. but your rims dont have a lip. maybe try a gloss black. i mean matte paint wont do but try gloss black so then atleast theres a bit of a shine to it

yeah ive got the big clunky 5 spokes. its a primrose.

i thought about it, and i just dont really think black would look too great. the bronze sounds kinda cool, but im still not completely sure on that. i was thinking about like a dark gunmetal color? not sure.

Gunmetal, black, or dark bronze has my vote. Although the green was a close 2nd. haha.

you would have been better off with drawing a vector circle and rotating it for the back one, looks choppy. but 972.2 doesnt have tint or black housing so it might change the look a lil.

did she pay for anything on the car? no? then do what i do when my girl says something and tell her to either buy something for your car or STFU. Then again, my current girl doesn't complain she just helps lol. Thats what i did for when my ex's complained.

Those chops look really nice. I'd go for the black w/red line or the dark bronze or gunmetal, those seem to be the best looking.
