Painting the wheels.... need to decide on the style.

okay so um I got bored in photoshop today and pulled these out.
I do want to paint the wheels... because well.. I can. The colours are not EXACT what I want them. The yellow would match the car as close as possible. The pink would be more of a "Panther Pink" like on a cuda. Less of a hot pink. Unless the hott pink looks ok... I am not 100% sure yet.

STOCK IS NOT AN OPTION!!

so far... I actually showed this one to about 15 people and got ALMOST all positive feedback.

#1 - wide pink with tint change
Image

#2 with the yellow tint still
Image

#3 (if only my car was white) - wide pink lip with silver
Image

#4 - Thin Pink lip with silver
Image

#5 - Thin pink with black
Image


then the yellow choices.
#6 - thin yellow with black
Image

#7 - thick yellow with black
Image

#8 - black with yellow face and black lugs
Image

#9 - black with yellow face and silver lugs
Image

#10 - yellow wide stock silver
Image

and yellow thin is POINTLESS so I am not putting that up.


i've also recieved the suggestion to go wingless.
that i'm not so sure of. it would make my trunk easier to wash lol

I had to go with #8. I love SRT-4 wheels in black, but the yellow face looks good. I'm suprised that the black face with yellow insert didn't look as good.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

#7 with black tint and no wing.


I'd actually like to do the same thing to my extra set of rims (black face with white everything else) before spring. How would you like to make some money? I hate painting.

Not one of the choices but where I would go with it: dark tint, black rims with yellow lip, wingless. Goes with the tails too. :thumbup:
Not big on the yellow tint.
Not big on the pink...unless you're a chick...and then not on a yellow car.

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car. Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you're going when you hit the wall, and torque is how far you drag the wall with you.

i'm a girl. and the car is having the lights put back underneath it probably in a month or two. that's why pink is the second colour.
