Which Rims?

Post by Neonix » Mon Sep 04, 2006 3:31 pm

Okay so while I'm touching up and clearing my black rims, I have the snowflakes on, and was just curious which one everyone likes better?

I like them both equally in there own distinct ways. I voted for the black ones because they go well with the color scheme and are bigger.

I like the black ones, because they are black and larger.

But I like the snowflakes if you painted them gunmetal/black.

No paint for the snowflakes!

I voted snowflakes because I'm tired of taking them on and off. Time to just leave them. Honestly though, I do like them. When you see them from the front fender area they look really good becaue they tie in the Chrysler grill. Then again I personally like the style better too, I've never been a fan of straight spokes. I like the "mesh" style of the snowflakes.

Ah fuck it, we'll just get rotas. :lol:

The black rims will be shiny too. The snowflakes are on so that the blacks can be repainted and cleared. Shiny isn't a deciding factor because they will both be "shiny".

I say the snowflakes because they just all around look better than the black ones to me that is.

That was just a joke, but in all fairness we like any of the ones someone else will pay for. :wink:

Yeah...I suppose I'm going against the curve here. I love your car! But i like the look of the snowflakes alot better. Maybe if wanted the snowflakes, you could upgrade and get some SRT rims or snowflake style rims. So thats just MY vote, but I really like it that way.

Thanks for all the opinions and compliments everyone. Right now I'm really liking the snowflakes, but I think it's just because it's something different. Although they do look good on the car, especially from a front angle, it just makes the grill stand out and look really good. My blacks rims are coming along nicely, I'm glad I'm able to take my time with them though, and not being forced to rush through it, otherwise they'd probably turn out like crap. :lol:

Do you have any other pics with the flakes on? I don't know why but I just like the flakes alot more, mabye because thats what I have and it reminds me of my car in CG or something heh.

I'm thinking of just taking mine sometime and sanding them down and clearing them to get rid of or hide alot of the scratches in them. The previous owner wasn't very nice to them. That or paint them gunmetal.
