    Before everyone lambasts you... ALWAYS remember build what you want...
     
  4. This topic has been beaten to death and then some.

    Paint your rims whatever the fuck colour you want.

    I like them but I tend to agree with some that they are over done. But like Blackie said it is your car to build as you see fit and to your liking.

    Take blackies advice. and don't let the lambasting bother you. people can get "agro" here sometimes and forget that they had to start somewhere.

    its your car , your money.do what you want..dont let anyone on here ragg on yer car because of your choice in rim color. If you like how it looks, go with it. its only paint. it can be changed and it really isnt that big a deal.

    We should probably close this before my popcorn finishes cooking...red rims are not looked upon highly here.
     
  12. Oh boy this topic should get interesting.


    My thoughts: I happen to think red rims look as good as any other color.I'm partial to Spyder caps and trim rings myself.
    I think what really get old is when BillyBob Mullet buys a 80 Caprice paints it with flat black krylon and then paints the rims (including lug nuts) red and says "look at my Rat Rod"


    Not my car but how can you say it aint sweet!!!

    I'm tired of red rims except for when I see them peeking out from behind a Moon disc or a hubcap. Just the hint is fine for me.

    You guys are all behind...

    Blue is the new white.

    White used to be the new gold which replaced green which of course was the new red.

    Black rules.

    :D

    didnt some come red from the factory? so is that not traditional?
     
  21. I had no intentions of going with red wheels until I came across these hubcaps. Paint whatever color works for you.

    My car has a red and white interior so I painted the rims to go with the red.
    Your car, your money....your way! That's the rule to follow.

    :p :D<--- That's the best response I can come up with, cause I can't think of another color rim I dislike. Well, ok, no pink rims or anything that is an easter egg color/pastel.
