changing wheel colour

[Eric]

I bought another new set of rims for cheap, and cannot decide if I want to go gold center/polished lip, all black, dark grey or what.



I did some really bad photoshops you can see here,

but maybe I could get some better work done, especially on the gold center ones

Dayum son, you need to post pics of your ride. Welcome to R3V!

I know some are gonna flame you for those neon green ones, but I won't say anything.

Personally, I would have the bead-blasted, then get teh lips polished, and paint the centers black.

but that's just me. :)

Ryan G's car has the black/polished lip LTW's.. :mrgreen:


only one I could find. :shock: :?

I reccomend getting the centers paint matched with your car, or superblack (but shiny) with polished lips. I'll do a photoshop later...

Also, black centers with a red lip looks good too, I've seen some wheels that make it hot.

not lightweights and I believe they are painted lips not polished. these are just the regular bmw motorsrport wheels off the M3. LTW wheels are forged and only have 10 spokes total not 20.

I found a pretty cool charcol colour today, so I'm going to try the all dark grey look, If i don't like it so much I can remove the lip, and polish it up.

you can see lots of pics of my car on s14.net, but here is an older picture of my car

Yeah, a polished lip is hard to do in PS.

thanks, I was thinking of just leaving the lips as they are, but what do you think about just painting the centers and the spokes?

[bimmerphile]

I think leaving the lips and only painting centers/spokes is the way to do it.
