Ok, so after all my efforts, I ended up getting the most overdone rim EVER on an Fbody... TT2s... 17x10s... What would you do to make them not so plain and common? Painted centers, pin stripe, plastidipped, ???

What would you do to them? Im looking for Ideas. I really really like them but Ive got to do something different

 

Pics of said efforts?

 

I think painting the centers is your only option, everything else will probably look tacky.

 

make them black with a red lip . I did it with my c5 Z06's

 

Well, my efforts were to avoid TT2s.. But I just couldnt.. They look too damn good... I will be putting them on the car in the next week or so after the new tranny, rear end, brakes and lowering.... Ive got some time to play around with ideas... If you guys have any and a pic to show me, that would be great...

 

you got a pic...?

 

You're the LED man, put some Lights on em!!!!! LOL

first I'd lose the dome center cap. I've seen a couple with a just a flat cap, and looks a lot meaner IMO. not a fan of the body color painted lips. Black and polished bout only colors that look good on lips to me. as for spokes..... I would definitely coat them with something. they were a bitch to polish!! (Main reason I sold mine). Not much options to be unique, I mean Red spokes would Not look good, so black, gray, charcoal, silver, or polished are about it......

 

im the LED man.. ??? lol..

I was thinking about doing a clear coat with some red in it... either the lip or spokes.. not the whole rim...

 

This is the only one I have atm

 

Yeah I know I need to wash my car lol ^^^^^^^^

 

You still got those Boyds?.... Id pay good money for some JYDs or Smoothe IIs... seriously...

 

Yeah I may buy another set because I plan on making a drag set out of them

 

Make them look like the old school Dow 7 mag wheel coating or simply have them powdercoated to look like real magnesium. Google it if you don't know what I am talking about.

 

i wonder if I mirror polish the lip but bead blast the centers??? add some red to the center cap or a pontiac emblem...?

 

I'd do some photoshop of different ideas just play around with it. Great choice btw, theres a reason there so popular the first time i saw em in person i almost died lol

 

ok, what about an anodized red? Ill do the lip on the rear in a second...

 

Use the eye dropper to match the car paint it will look better i think

 

Charcoal centers with polished lip. My .02

 

well, I was going for an anodized look.. not really painted.. kind of like the blue anniversary rims... Ill play more with it.. Ill probably plastidip them the spray them red just to see...

 

Maybe something like this, I know different wheels. Or flat red centers with polished lips.
