Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deener Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 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'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92_rugby_subie Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red92 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I would vote for the white or bronze. white on red, bronze on a darker red/maroon color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor pole Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red92 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I was thinking about white with body color lip on the wheel. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83pickle Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 White makes things look larger. +1 for white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnW Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor pole Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 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 Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Redcap Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 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.

tractor pole Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
