Bronze (matte)

what do you guys think?

 

thanks

Dark Red Old-School Subaru Looks Very Old-School Nice with White Gloss Rims... Darker Colours might not Contrast, Black will make 'em to Look Cheap, in my Own opinion.

 

Kind Regards.

These are 13's on my 93 Loyale that I just turned from white to black. I just got the center caps on too.

 

I hope that it doesn't look too 'cheap'...

Deener, I like it.

 

Tractor Pole - For those wheels... I would go with a bronze on the maroon car... It looks pretty decent... Black looks amazing on maroon cars, but not sure how it would look on those particular wheels...

Yeah, I'm normally not a fan of black wheels either, but they work well on that color Loyale.

 

tractor pole, I'm in the same boat about repainting my wheels. Darker red Legacy, can't decide what to do. I was leaning toward a gunmetal or a dark bronze...

I would vote for the white or bronze. white on red, bronze on a darker red/maroon color.

I was thinking about white with body color lip on the wheel.

I have a set of wrx wheels and I am thinking of painting them bronze.

Day-Glo Green!

I wouldn't do that.... white with a red lip just makes wheels look like generic trailer wheels... :-\

 

 

Day-Glo Green!

 

You know, if these are for snow tires, that might not be a bad idea. It would help out a bit with the visibility.

White makes things look larger. +1 for white.

Bronze! Red+Bronze=smoove!

Subaru's always look great with bronze wheels! +1 on that color:popcorn:

I'm considering rocking the Day Glo Green on my EA82 GL wagon.

Yeah...looks like I'm picking up a can of spraypaint this weekend and doing some horrible fluorescent action!

The parts stores sell cans of Alloy wheel paint, theres a gunmetal color that I personally like and it usually looks great on a Red/Maroon car.

I have 2 cans of each, White, Bronze, and Gunmetal.

 

I think I am going with white for these with the snow tires (I might try the red lip on one wheel just to see how it looks, and bronze for my summer wheels (16" WRX wheels)

 

the day glo green or day glo orange would help be more visible in the snow, but to drive around for 4 months and only 2 or 3 days worth of snow seems silly.

the fluorescent wheel colors remind me of back when I had RC cars.

 

thanks for participating

I'm okay with my little wagon looking like a toy or a clown car. You should see some of the other things I've driven! Here is a sample...80s Plymouth Colt that I ended up driving for three or four months after my truck at the time got wrecked.

 

 

it Really Looks like Many Honduran Ricer Cars ... ...

A couple friends and painted it up like that as a joke one weekend while drinking beer, it was our field-racer. Then it was fitted for that trick hoodscoop (made from the hot air duct of an old dryer). Found the pairs of wheels at garage sales for extremely cheap, 17x7s in the back and 13x8 in the front.

So I decided on white, can't wait to get them on the car.

Brand new set of Hankook i-Pike studded 195/60-15

 

 

as soon as the 5 lug swap is done I will post pics with them installed.

They're Looking Beautiful, Really.

 

Kind Regards.

Hey, that does look pretty good!
