Default I'm thinking of painting my LC818

I have the matte black LC818 for awhile now. I still think it's the best combo for SFP (very aggressive looking), but at the same time, I feel it maybe time for a color change.

I'm thinking of painting my LC818 in either gloss F-Sport Blue, green, or even purple.

What do you all think?

These are Rotiform wheels...IMO, looks pretty cool.

Too much for me, but to each his own.

I agree with brociouz. But i can also see how you feel. When i had my 5 with the matte black miro 111s (they look identical to LC818s) As nice as they were, i sometimes got sick of it and wanted something different.
Im sure youll find something you like, keep us posted.

That shizz is crazy....your car has to look agressive to pull those off. Kinda racer style.

Can't find SGM with polished wheels (easier to photoshop), so I used a black car.

I'm thinking of painting my LC818-hyyfu.jpg

I hope the car owners doesn't mind lol.

I personally think all those colours are too flashy for SFP.
You would need a darker toned car for it to flow i think...
Maybe apply a lil bit of colour to the inner side of the spokes to compliment your original colour black perhaps?
But... with everything said, it's your car, your money, all up to you.
I respect the fact that you're trying something diff tho. Good luck.
