Hey a friend of mine is selling me a set of 17" rims 6 spoke really cheap...Theyre white and I am thinking about getting them...

Does anyone have pics of a Thunder Grey OZ with white rims?

Anyone think I shouldn't get them? How about gunmetal with polished lip?

EDIT: sorry about the misspelling

 

White wheels look tacky to me, no matter what color car they're on. My old room mate had a thunder grey OZ with gunmental wheels and it looked sharp. Look him up and see if he still has pics posted under oranginous.

 

yea I dont see white and thunder grey looking to great... But I agree with Ghostrider... Think Gunmetal is the best way to go....

 

if they are super cheap, buy them and get them powder coated.

 

^^^Probably your best best...

 

yes, i have black and they dont look bad but its way off in color... go with gunmetal youll be happy

 

well they are only gonna cost me $200 plus the cost of mounting and balancing the set of 4 brand new tires.... I get a free set of lugs so i dont have to buy them either...

 

anyway you can post of picture of em?...

Also, not to hijack your thread, but does anyone know about how much it costs to get a set of wheels powder coated?

 

np...ill post a pic of the rims this afternoon...

+1 on $$$ to powder coat

 

its about 50 dollars a wheel for 15s and like 60 for 17s. theirs a shop here in hampton va that will do it. sometimes its cheaper to get it done as a group so they dont waste as much paint. im looking eiter for bronze or gunmetal.

 

What's the name of the shop?
are you still trying to get rid of that exhaust? I still wanna hear what it sounds like before I make my decision on what to get...

hmm... white rims on Gray lancer.... it'll look funny, but different.

I have white rims on my white lancer. But those rims above, look cheap. but for the price, just get them and rock'em for a bit...

mine were expensive and they're 18s...lol but have some alloy to them.

 

Careful with powdercoating. There's been folks that have said their wheels ended up flaking off faster than expected.
