    Rudy bought some new dirt trackers and wheels. He's deciding on the color for the wheels now. What do you guys think??

  4. They absolutly will NOT be red!

    The color on them now is a primer grey that the wheel came in.

    Honestly, I like the grey. Looks right just the way it is. Tell us more about the car! Haven't seen that one yet.

  12. "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

    that 'factory' grey actually gives it character.
     
  13. Cream, no pinstripe, those are dirt track tires. Pinstripe if they were WWW.

    how about billet 20's. oops, did I say that out loud? Heh, nah I like the grey, maybe just shiny? Nothin wrong with the grey primer either......Oh and the way I see it, if you want to paint them red(I know you dont want to), paint them red, its your car do what you like to it.

    PS: what size are those steelies? the front kinda looks like a 17"....
     
  20. I like orange but it does not work with red interior. White?

    gloss black or tan,,,

    i think gloss black would be rad,,but it wouldnt go as well with the numbers...unless you primed over the numbers,,,(the numbers look COOL and give it,ITS OWN personallity though!)

    tan would set it off,,,IMHO...

    ..dont paint them white or the nor cal boys will say you copied samiyam! hahahha

    Before I finished reading the origonal post my mind was screaming off white/cream. I see I wasn't the only one thinking that. So, as a change of pace how about off white (not quite cream) or gun metal grey? Either one could use a pinstripe that matched the interior color.
    The pinstripe would stand out on the white and it would be very suptle on the grey.
