Just slapped on some new 18"s on my car. What you guys think about them? They got a silver lip and I'm thinking about painting the rims gunmetal. Yea..i know i need to get my car painted, but what color!?

If i were you, i would keep it black, if not black, paint it a dark color. If you keep the paint black then the gunmetal would look nice>Another thing that would look nice with the chrome trim around the windows is some mirror tint..

Hmm..well. That's a good idea. I was thinking about painting my car white. A nice bright white and then get a CF hood. Then paint my rims gunmetal? Is that sick or what? Then what kind of tint would look good on a white car? Mirror or limo tint or something like that?

^ limo tint......

and looking good

but damn.....you gotta find a way to even out that drop of yours tho......

mirror tint is illegal, it might look kinda bad too, just be careful.

props on the car, after the paint it will be very very clean!

black, limo tint, gunmetal rims, even drop...

btw, are those racing harts or just lookalikes

They are look alikes. I'm about to drop the toyota emblems into the caps. I couldn't afford Racing Harts. I might be selling these rims to get another set. I just picked these up off the streets cause I was tired of rocking only 2 18"s and donuts. I think i'll have an even drop soon cause I'm going to cut my springs and get some new shocks.

phatboy555 · 10-20-2003, 09:09 PM

uh..yea? Am i supposed to drive it without the kit? I didn't get the kit painted cause the paint on the whole car sucks major. So getting the kit painted and not the whole car painted would be a waste of money. The girlies seem to like it.

The unpainted kit i mean.
