Default What you think about this?

Here is pic of my car on some 17' American Racing Longboards. I was thinking about getting the centers powdercoated black and leaving the lip polished or going with a blue lip. Just dont know what this would look like. I want to be different but I want it to look good too! The first pic is what the car looks like right now. The second pic is going be adobe photo pic that I created. The wheels are black with a blue lip. I think these looks kick *** on my car, what do you guys think about doing this with my wheels or different set of wheels? So here it is.



I know not perfect and color might not be a perfect match either but you guys get the picture.

I prefer the wheels in the second pic, they look cool and they are different to what everyone else has, all you see is ZR1's TT2's and Z06's, no affiance to you guys who have these wheels, but you see them everywhere on this forum.

The wheels that are in the first pic are way different than the wheels in the second pic. If you are planning on doing this to the wheels you already have, then you should photoshop them with a black center and blue lip. That would give you a better idea on what they would look like on your car.

not sure it would look to good on the first set of wheels becasue of the size. with blue and black on the rims, i think it might look kinda "dinky". if you had them in some 19 and 18s it would look pretty sick. the car looks good as is.

That second pic owns. Being different won't net you much on this site but the second pic is killer.

So what does everybody think? Leave the car alone, powdercoat the center black w/polished lip, or black and blue lip? Just wondering. Yes these wheels are the same wheels on that vette but as far as photo-cropping my wheels I dont know how. Help would be awesome. I think the blue and black would look sweet just dont know about these wheels yet!

I like how the car looks in the first pic. Don't worry about trying to be different. How many camaros do you see with that color blue on it? I like the wheels you have on it now better. Car look good to me as it sits.

Yeah dont think it looks too bad, black w/ polished lip. Thanks for doing this for me. Oh by the way, Chaffee, MO is about 15 minutes south of Cape Girardeau and about 20 minutes north of Sikeston. Thanks man!
