Definitely put up picks with them installed on the car i want to see how it turns out, its definitely a unique look! Props on trying a new look, who knows maybe it will be a new trend!

You might want to sand the powder off of the back side of the wheel where it meets the hub before mounting, otherwise it will be a bit*h to get the wheels off next time, as the powder will melt a little and they will be stuck on.

^ Good call. I never even thought about that when I was browsing through the pictures. :tup:

I want to see them so bad!

I'm doing just a simple solid red lip on mine. I was messing around in PS earlier today to see how Phimosis' idea would look on mine, so I did the rear wheel.

I think it's cool but I am still going with the simpler red lip, but I think his setup will have the potential to look really cool.

Hey, thanks for the photochop on that. +1 rep for you!

That is a bit much. Hmm. Wasn't really trying to pimp it out. Maybe I could get the theme to match up if I put a salt water fish tank in the hatch, or make the rear license plate flip down to reveal an LCD TV and have rap videos to match what I'm playing on my system......

Lol. Anyways, I'm committed to the project now. I'll set it up, ride it like that for a while and if it bugs me, I'll strip them again and redo them with just the lip. If they crack because I've ran them through the powdercoat oven too many times, I'll get new wheels. Chances are I'll end up spending less than getting a set of high end wheels from the outset.

Either way, I'll keep you guys posted so others can learn from my mistakes or succes.

best is LCD's behind the headrest so ppl driving behind you can watch also


i think it will not be too much on a black Z like urs...the pic is of a red Z..so...too much red already in the pic

VERY crude ps to give you an idea of it on black...

^^ good photoshop !! on the red to black

doesnt look bad...it looks bold

Thanks.

The door handles absolutely need to be painted black, though. They stick out like a sore thumb with the black wheels.

^^ very true indeed...needs to be blacked out...no red there..lol

Must see piiiiiiiiiiics...been thinking about doing this...(minus the red pin striping - thinking of a silver or white pinstripe).

hehe

Again, very crude. This would be stock silver with black.

Wow, thanks +rep...

I think I like the front better....black with just a pinstripe around the edge. Looks pretty sweet IMO.

I like the black powder coat and the stripe around the lip. I might have to consider doing that with a yellow stripe. I already have a couple dings around the lip of my rims, can those be fixed?
