Default Might experiment... What do you think??
I have an old set of Eagle .77's laying around (one with a crack on the inside that leaks air) and was thinking about experimenting with them to reproduce something similar to the quick (crappy) photoshop below.

If it turns out alright then I'll have two track rims for tires and may possibly repaint my stockers (which are my current rim).

Just wondering what your guys thoughts/opinions are on that color rim with a silver bird.

Please VOTE...

I like those wheels and everything but they look good on the 30th anniv. but thats about it. I have a silver car also and thought about it cause all my accents are blue,but I think the blue wheels are just to much.

I agree....they look good on the anniv. cars but they are too much for an other color.

The blue wheels could work if they were part of and overall theme, such as how they did the 30th anniversary TA.

Such as adding blue accents to teh car, via stripes etc . . ..

Thats kind of what I was thinking. There's a guy on a local board that can get just about any color stripe and cut whatever. If I did go this rim route then I'd more than likely hit him up.

I've just always loved the 30th wheels and really like the idea of being one of the few (maybe only) silver bird with them.. but I guess I'll sleep on it a little. Thanks for all the input so far. More ideas/opinions are welcome.

I didn't think I'd like it, but I do. Surprisingly, I like it a lot.
