Congrats on your 1st place finish. Are you still planning on selling your car? Or are you keeping it now?

love the drop on the car for the show, but still don't like the rim color. I think the rims look good on the car, except for the color.

Are you happy with the color, would you consider repainting them to silver? Just a personal opinion. At the end of the day, it is what you are happy with. Enjoy the car and congrats on the first place finish.

The rims are pretty nice. A very original color inded. I would prefer gunmetal, black, or dark bronze rims myself on a black car.

wtf is nice bj on getting first place?

The rims are tight, but the color ain't my style... and i'm open for most things.

Big brake upgrade would help you out a lot...but again that's big bucks...

Congrats,

But you need to get rid of those rims. I think your car looks great but the rims got to go. (The color)

You can't image how hard it is to paint rims the color you want. At first they were supposed to be TE37 bronze, but they came out wrong, then I went gold but noone likes it. Oh well maybe next color. Though I kind of like the gold. And the car never had tints, and my car's are always for sale.

Congrats on 1st place man. Car looks good. I see that you're having trouble with the exact color you want on the rims. What about gunmetal or silver?

Wow, I can't believe you didn't ***** and whine about the criticsm you're recieving! I'm impressed. I guess you already go that out of the way.

I'd try gunmetal... its not the traditional silver and I know you can't handle chrome. And it will look good.

I don't want gun metal b/c the car has tan interior. I'd rather go bronze but I can't find a good color. I love the Volk TE37 color, here it is

Go home Nate. You are the one provoking here. You see how Daniel is not responding to you? Why not find another member to bully?

Oh STFU.

I post what I think and what I want. Because daniel couldn't handle what people had to say in past threads, I gave him another shot. This time around was much better. In the past he blew up at the slightest constructive comment. Now I'm not seeing him do that and I commended him on it.

You, on the other hand, need to STFU and STFD. Daniel and I are now having a nice conversation on the future color of his rims. WTF are you anyway? Some sort of forum violence nazi? Were you a hall monitor in high school?

I don't think theres a bronze color that would really match the interior. I wonder how a 2 piece rim with the center piece bronze and the lip polished would look? Or maybe the lip bronze and the center gunmetal... or maybe chrome (ya ya, not your thing I know)?
