You guys suck they would look dope on white car, especially those mesh wheels look much more sporty and aggressive! jmo yes the pics don't do justice you have to see them in person to appreciate the beauty of black wheels

Again I'm not a photoshop expert but I worked with what little knowledge I have about the program. I tried to get the gloss look going as well as the gold accents.

Honestly, I think this looks pretty good.

Well that's the thing.... Its one of those things where unless you were standing next too it you cant fully enjoy the beauty. From a distance those wheels would unfortunately look bad... You know how many ricer looking cars with cheap looking black wheels i see rolling around. That's what would come too mind at least in my opinion right away. And i am sure it would for most others from a distance too.

So I see you are keeping the car. I just bought one in tucson about 2 months ago. I would of bought yours but I didn't have the kind of money you wanted for yours lol. So I got my 95 with a 5 speed and only 100k miles on it for 6k. I Like the gloss look that you got going on with the photo shop pic.

So I got tired of photoshoping and wanted to go out and see something in person.

So with a free weekend +


I got this...





The reason I did this is to see a real life image rather than something on the computer screen. Also, if I don't like it, 20 minutes of peeling and I'll be back to where I was. I think it came out pretty good. Of course I would also like to have gold bolts, but that'll come when and if I end up getting my wheels powder coated. For 26 dollars though and a couple of hours, I can't say I can complain.
