help deciding to get new rims or paint old ones?!?
 
should i paint my 17" bullitts...or would it look so much better and be worth the money incase i get tired of the bullitts later on to get these 18" motegi racing dp12s??

heres a pic of them

this pic is of the gunmetal color, i would get mine black.

and pics of my car can be found here.

eventually im planning on, after getting new wheels or painting the ones i have now, to take off the gold stripe, paint my rear spoiler black, and add a gt body kit.

so... paint current 17" bullitts black...or get new 18" black motegi racing dp12s??

Personally with yourcolored car I would go with either chrome, polished, or grey wheels. Black wheels on a light blue car looks kind of "blah" to me. Most colors can pull off the black wheels decently, but not light blue IMO.

yeah i see what you mean, well if i go for chrome or silver should i still paint my rear spoiler and remove the stripe and everything. i was planning that the black rear spoiler would match the rear blackout panel would match the wheels would match my future cdc chin spoiler. then i would take off the stripe so it would be just blue and black, no other colors.

My car is all black and white with just the chrome rims and it looks pretty damn good, if I say so myself. Search my posts for the one titled "updated pics of my v6" and you'll see pics of my setup.

The main thing is to do what makes you happy, since you're the one that is going to have to look at the car everyday. I was just offering my opinion that black rims would not look that great with the light blue. Its really your decision, but if you want my "opinion", go chrome on the wheels.

Here's my car: black, white and chrome on the outside.... http://s11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ustang%20pics/

ive decided to do everything else firstlike take off the stripe, im getting saleen quarter panel window louvers the ones that dont cover the whole window and are black, xenon side scoops, and paint my spoiler, then ill decide about my wheels. i think taking the stripe off will make a huge difference.
