Paint them red?

Remember, try to keep a theme going with your car, end up with 6 or 8 different colors and you'll look like crap.

maybe blue because I am going to buy a set of lugs from my friend that have blue tips and then get drilled and slotted rotors. Those are my lugs in the pic. He let me borrow them. I am going to theme my car around blue and white/silver. What interior color should i get? I want to do the metalcast stuff.

If you are gonna do the interior with Metalcast man, do the opposite of mine. It will take you MONTHS to get it just right doing it the way I did. Do yours mostly Ground Coat silver then do the accents Blue. I almost wish I had now.

oh yea. My friends chrome ones are really hard to clean and the dirt blends in on the chrome. Now i just need to get some nice drilled and slotted rotors...


i'm with you on that. i've had my rims for a while just sitting. i need those drilled/slotted rotors desperately. where art thou majiktibs?

about the pics: i like the white on blue. i don't favor motegi's for personal reasons but they look great with the 2k tib styling. looks like we're at the same stages. awsome pics by the way!

I like the wheels but not in white. I think it's to much of a contrast, so when I look at the car all I see is the wheels.

HyundaiKitCoupe, What all do you have done? The only other things I have done is Pioneer 6x9/6.5/10in subs speakers and my ipod install. Where in maryland do you live? I have relatives in Frederick or whatever. I am thinking of a CAI as my next mod. Should I spend the money on a Blue AEM or buy a cheaper brand (like ebay)?

col96fx, The white is bright and I was thinking about silver but I wanted wheels that stood out more.

Yes they do stand out. I just think that they take the focus off the car, IMO.

I was just saying that, in my opinion, thay stand out a little to much and draw your eye to them rather than the over-all car. It's only my personal opinion though, so I don't expect others to agree with it. Each to their own!
