Painted my stock 2000 Gt wheels this weekend
#4
You did a nice job and only spent 47.00. But black wheels make it look unfinished, like 4 temporary spares. I like the stock wheels the way they were. But, you did a bang up job on the finish.

nice job OP... went from blending in the crowd to standing out with such an easy fix

i'm on the other end - my last car was a white 3000GT with black 18 inch wheels. LOVE that color combo. Right now I have black saleen wheels and they look ****. When there is low lighting outside, or dark, you can't even see the wheels, but it makes it mysterious and gives a totally different feel. I also love bronze and darker gunmetal wheels (like 5zigen 5n01r-c)

agree to disagree, but comparing painted 17" GT alloys to tiny hub cap wheels?
basically his wheels look completely different now, more "racer" and less "stock/plain".. i like seeing the lug nuts
lowering springs would even further enhance the looks

on anothe note, hopefuly in a few mpnths i can get some 18x9 and 10" because my traction right now is lacking. as far as what style wheels, imma wing it and buy what im in the mood for that day
also, about the lug nuts, autozone , $20 chrome locking and cover the threads toot toot

thats what im sayin, as far as im concerned its a cheap way for some saleen look alikes haha. now as far as saying they look like spare tire, i assume you are over the 40 YO mark, not u jas5, othe guy. my 70 year old dad says the same. hes a chrome man himself. as far as me, im in college and if saving $800 dollars means making people think i have after market wheels, then toot toot ( thats my horn )
