Gold wheels on black cars... let's see 'em!

I'm thinking about painting my wheels gold. Let's see what you got!

 

what color you painting the rest of the wheel?

 

I would suspect Black, based on the thread ***le?

 

yuck

 

I did it once, thought it would look good. I was WRONG!

 

I think he's talking about the whole wheel, rim, centrer and all.
What is the car?

Scotty.

 

It's really that confusing???

 

No, just a rim is the outer part of the wheel. What some would call A joke.

 

Example?

 

rims are on bicycles...wheels are on cars

 

If it's the wheel in your Avatar that might be kinda cool with the chrome spider caps and chrome rings. I have never seen it done so it would be different. I looked on line and could not find any....just late model cars. It might work. If it doesn't then just repaint them!!!

 

I like gold centered wheels, but don't have many pix to post as examples. Not every car, but cars like Burt's TransAM, all the John Player Lotus trimmed cars (complete with pinstriping) from F-1 to special edition street cars, Dow7 treated mags used on a wide variety of vintage racing cars (and essentially the same treatment on Ferrari mags?), Weld drag / oval racing wheels with gold centers, BBS modular racing wheels with gold centers, etc. But keep the gold toned down a little, eh? More "antique" gold than bright gold? Looks good with polished rims and knockoffs, too! Gary

 

Back in the late '60's, when I worked in a gas station, one of the guys had a black '65 Impala with American 5 spokes. The spokes were painted gold and the rims polished. I thought it looked great and always wanted to do that.

 

Different now but here it was ......

 

Old 52

 

i sold more sets like that than black or grey.
Stevie Nash::::::are talking about steel wheels? mags?
edcodesign__would that be a copper color?

 

mine were more copper than gold, but here's a look anyway.

 

A little off topic but heres a supermodified my friend drives, has that vintage 70's racing look

 

yes it was popular in the 70s

 

Here come the pictures of the Trans Ams.

 

So the question is if it is a wide five doesn't it count more as a rim than a wheel?

I used to see lost of Gasers with the rears painted gold but you didn't seem to see a lot of black g***ers.

 

Rims are on the wheels that are on bicycles, same as a car.

 

Mine were kinda gold.

Cragar use to sell "Gold" wheels.

They had 2 models that I'm aware of, the SS and another that looked like the Chrome Super Trick.

 

Yes, more copper than gold, O well.

 

I think it's a good idea. especially if you have gold accents on the car to pull ot all together

 

I'm talking about steelies... The ones in my avatar.

 

Go ahead and paint them!! Me likes'em!!

 

looks good, i like the way you ended the side trim on the door.

 

Paint 'em!

If you don't like the look you can always put it back.

W.T.F. it's only paint!

Its not like your buying wheels you might not like!
