Bronze

Post by heydockyle » Sat May 08, 2010 10:12 am

I plan on adding a black lip later. Just didn't have time last night. Let me know what you think, by voting. Hood is staying black for a while btw.

I don't think that red and bronze on a wheel will look good though? Idk maybe it would.

Bronze sucks, I'd go black and red. That first pic looked pretty nice, actually. But if you want to stay away from black and red either go all black or silver/gray.

Hated the way it looked the first time. With the whole outside part in red and inside in black. Looked like a flower.

If anything maybe I'll do black with a red lip later.

I like the bronze, but not sure how I feel about it on a red car. You could always go the graphite route like I had on my 98, and now my NYG. I think it looks good on any colored car.

Black is always a good standby though.

Okay. Will I have another set of sport wheels that don't have tires on them. I'm probably going to have them powdercoated and use them in the summer. So these might end up bronze/black for the winter and I'll have to think about the gunmetal for the summer.

If you get a chance, you could have someone photoshop these on for you.

I had the car for 2 weeks and a piece of Baltimore's Finest Citezen decided to bump into it when I pulled out in front of him. Fucking asshole.

The door is going to be hard to match because of it being a custom paint job. I'm gonna have to buy paint till it matches

I also dislike the wheels because of the line going around them. Makes them look like a flower.

But everyone wants like 350 for r/t wheels.

Whaaaaat? I'm sure you could find someone that would trade. I'm a huge fan of these wheels myself.

I've had 4 hits on neons.org. The lowest was 300 + shipping. They had bald tires, and curb rash. I was like yea, not a chance. I'll spend 200 more and get a set of brand new aftermarket rims.

Honestly not a fan of bronze wheels on any red car. I liked the first picture, whatever was going on there looked good.

Later on I'll buy some lighter 16's or something. But for now the 14's are staying because they are light, and tires are cheap. I got some more pics today, will post prolly tomorrow morn.
