Still "TL"-ish


I need a favor from the famous photoshoppers here on Acruazine. Can someone, paint my rims in several different colors Black, Blue, green etc.

I want to get an idea how they would look on my color.


and yes, these are 3G rims on a 2G RL

im no good at photoshop, but i would say do the obvious and go black or gunmetal or or try and go for a shade of white. I no someone who has a anthracite tl with white stock rims. It flowed pretty well. I wouldnt start messing with the skittle colors on the RL..

Gun Metal?



Black?



Match your foggies?



Gold?



White?



I still have the .PSD, so if you have any colour requests, ask away.

The RL calipers look sexy behind the 3G wheel.

Yeah leave it. It looks classy with stock colored wheels. Maybe an exact color match but other than that keep it simple.

I quite enjoy the gunmetal and lighter blue ones for some reason. Happy holidays.

^He said it best if you decide to paint them, gunmetal is the best. Although, I don't care if it's for winter, your still spending money on something that is probably going to get ruined after the first winter, and it won't even look good. Ride in style all year

I've always had a thing for gunmetal rims. It'd look real nice with the color of your RL. I've wanted to paint mine but I don't think they'd look good without lowering the car a little.

Yeah red does look interesting if you went with a non silver/black color. I normally am not a fan of colored wheels, but I think you could pull it off on your car. They're also winter rims...so why not have something interesting. I'll try to do the TL-S wheels tomorrow if no one else photoshops it by then. I'm going to bed for now.

I say either leave them as is, but if you want them black, i say paint them with plasti-dip. If you were to get sick of the black, you can just peel the plasti-dip off.
