My 'Rolla (Need a photoshopper and Opinions)

[d0za]

(Vinyl on taillights, blacked out emblems, 28% tint on rearPsngr and Rear windows)

First I wouldn't mind getting a photoshop'r to chop those onto my car I plan on painting my calipers red too.
Your opinion on the look?
18x8, +35 offset with 225/40/18 tires shouldn't run into problems right?
I can get a set, with tires and installation and balance for CAD$1200(US$1110), need to know if I should eat that up now before they're gone.

Thanks. I got my taillights done at the same place I got my tints. They used some kind of smoke vinyl, not sure. I don't know much about their process. It's cheaper if you do it yourself of course, but if you don't, the shop will charge you per piece and the whole rear is 4 pieces, not 2 (a mistake I made which caused me to opt out of my fronts getting smoked $$$).

Here's what black on black looks like dirty, gloss-black 17" wheels




still hoping for some aftermarket tails i don't hate

[andrewwoo]

looks sweet! love the rims! for both rollas! i might get black for my blue!

Good choice in wheels d0za, but I'm with johncal, I wouldn't paint the calipers red at all.

It takes too much away from the subtle Time attack style red stripe on the wheels.

No red stock calipers. If anything, paint them black. If.

Hmm, we're running 17x7 +42. +35 might be weird. Check http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp. Shows 6mm less clearance, so do some measuring.

[GottaLoveTheRolla]

and how much did the smoked taillights come out to cost?

[andrewwoo]

well it would be weird.. but its 18 inch with the 8 inch wide wheels.. so i think the 35 will compensate the width

i dont know.. thats my guess... any one can assist?

that looks nice... didn't think i'd like the red stripe but it works great, especially with the tinted out tails.
i need to do something about my tails now and get my nasty car washed

[PhatRoyale]

Looks great!

Awesome choice of wheels! I have the same wheels but in different color. I wish they had more choices on the offsets though. +25 would have been awesome. I'm still amazed on how deep our wheel wells are.
Here's mine wrapped in NeoGens
