gross.

 

Dosnt look all that bad

 

Done right with center caps painted as well:

 

Doesnt look bad when lowered.

 

would look good on that NBP if dropped and with painted centercaps.

while we're on the topic of painting stockies, what about the 99 wheels in black?

 

they look gross. pics in my album

 

or how about not continuing a crappy trend from like 5 years ago

 

^ x2

 

wow guys, i specifically asked for no chatter, becuase when that starts the thread goes to nothing. yet...

 

i only resorted to "chatter" after fixing angels 3 failed attempts at posting the picture that you asked for.. :o

 

thx for the idea since my car is all black and im getting new rims in the spring. pics look good too. what kind of paint did you use and how much did it cost?

 

i like the guy who outlined spaces in the wheel with black and left the 5spokes silver, cant find the photo though, but it looked pretty damn good

 

this guy?

^ yea, iv always liked the way those came out. i wonder what a stock TL-p rim would look like done like that.

 

are those painted type s wheels or are they a-spec wheels?

 

type s^^

 

not bad looking...

 

I just did mine 2 days ago, only the caves of the wheel, not the face. I will upload pics in a few. Centercaps are drying as we speak!

 

thats the one. this is the only way to go.

 

^those wheel look sick!

 

yeah those are much better than than full black

 

Amazing job im so envious of them imo much better then full black

 

Theres mine. I am in the middle of re-doing the center caps though. I'll get some better pics soon

 

I did mine reversed, I think it looks like shit in my opinion Wish I did it the way you guys did They made me get a set of rims faster tho. I use them for winter now.

Heres the only pic I could find, kinda hard to see

 

it's not all that bad, at least your car is black

 

that looks damn good on a black car, with blacked out tails.
but for all colors i'd say go with the reverse way.

 

wihch looks good on a black car? the reverse?

 

umm.. did you not even try to look for an old thread you started to find more pics?

p.s.
i hate your headlights.
how about making a decision on your own.. what do YOU think looks good?

 

Forgot about that thread, but there are some better shots of the rims you can see from the side.

Lol thanks! It was something I decided to try once the housings of the headlights broke when someone reversed into me. So once I couldnt paint the inside anymore I tried something different.

I got a spare set of headlights that I have blacked out already, just waiting for the time to put them in... and decided if I want to throw in my set of TSX projectors.

 

someone earlier said that it looks good on a black car. i was asking which he meant, not which i should do. im already set on the triangels painted black

 

I believe he meant that the way I have mine with the 5 spokes painted black looks good on a black car. But on any other color he likes them with the triangles painted.

I recommend painting the triangle black, you dont want to ruin the nice machined finish with paint. Live n learn

 

^^ thats what im planning on once i figure out my needle guage problem

 

gotcha.. the lack of quote and the way it was worded threw me off..

 

black triangles look good for all colors
black spokes look good on black cars
all black(murdered) wheels look good on NO cars

 

what do you guys think would look good for the 99 wheels?

sry for the huge pic and dirty car
