Black wheels for my Stealth? Need opinions

Post by Jeff V. »

For anyone who hasn't seen it lately, this is my car.

Image

I'm thinking of having my rims powder coated black, with a red stripe around them like this.

Image

I'm way overdue for window tint too.

Any comments?

I think that Z looks good, I'd have to see yours photoshopped though to see if it would work with the wheels or not. Don't think it would look bad, but still.

Oh shit yeah.

And with that red lip you could probably get away with a few more red accents too. Like red "twin turbo" emblems maybe..

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

Meh, I say leave them gunmetal as they are. Seriously why change, when it looks badass as is.
How often do you get your car out and drive just out of curiosity?

I don't get it out nearly enough. It's been down all winter for storage, and I've got the transfer case out of it to prototype the new Quadco spools we're working on. I hope to have it moving again by early April.

:stupid:

Then again, you already know my opinion on black wheels as is (I really hope the black wheel fad dies soon as I can count the amount of cars that look good with them on one hand). :D

hmm. to me the difference is between your visual statement being "i'm faster than you" and "my car will devour yours like a fat kid eating a cupcake"
