Default Proud new Papa

I welcomed a jade green 95 sc300 into my family today. She needs a little interior work but seems mechanically sound and isn't too bad on the eyes. I drove it 180 miles back home from the dealer and was rock solid the whole way. I cleared about two grand between book value and what I paid for it, I got some play money now and an going to get a few things done right quick. Now for the important question, what color wheels look good on a jade green sc ?

Welcome to the SC world, I had a jade green before too, and wanted gold wheels on the green car. If you want to theme, go with purple and be like the HULK

I was actually thinking some BBS style wheels with a champagne-ish center.

I'm headed for the upholstery shop tomorrow to get a quote on doing the front seats. Other than that, the shifter boot and the usual cracks in the window sill the rest of the interior is nice.

Welcome to the forums! You definitely got a good deal on a clean car.

As far as wheels go, since Jade Green is such a dark shade of green, you can do just about anything. Black wheels with a chrome lip would look good, as well as a nice set of silver or even chrome wheels.

Welcome to CL. Alot of guys like gold on here, but I dont. Never have on any color for that matters. JMO.

Good luck on your choice and let the modding begin.

Welcome to the club! I do feel slightly weird welcoming anybody considering I am brand new myself. I love Jade Green btw.
