('09-'13) Should i make my wheels black??

silve225 · 11-20-2012, 10:52 AM

i got bored in photoshop yesterday and decided to paint my wheels black. After doing that im not sure if i like that look better or not. If i was going to actually do it on my car i would use plastic dip so i can always peel it off. here is the pic.

Ive contemplated doing it to mine but for some reason I like the lighter wheels right now.

Looks good though!

I personally really like the white Foz on black wheels look. Thats what I run during the summer. It really stands out and overcomes my lack of hood scoop ;)

I'm not a fan of black wheels. Even in the pic, it doesn't even appear you have wheels. It may as well have been on cinder blocks.

Do it.

I dipped mine during the summer and the car looks so much more aggressive haha

Oh,lower it too!

I think i might just try it. Does anyone have any real pictures thats not been photoshopped

I like the black wheels here. It goes well with the black around the fog light area & running down along the rocker panels. The black trim around the mirrors. The black window trim & roof rack rails all tie in to give it a clean look!

I will be doing the front underspoiler in a few weeks so the black will be gone in the front

Flipping looks legit!

What if you Plasti-dipped them and then sprayed gunmetal gray over it? Still easily removable and gunmetal seems to look better with white.

They do have the new 'pearlizer' product now..
