well the biggest issue that I see with your car 1986 and wheel choice is that your ENTIRE car is white... so going with a dark wheel will look kinda tacky

I would definitly stick to a silver or polished rim, but those ROH wheels are really nice
youre right adder.. if my car was gonna be ENTIRELY white it would be.. but.. it wont be white in like 2-3 weeks.. it will be 2005 ford sonic blue metallic pearl... so i think the black wheels with sonic blue would look good.

and those rohs are nice.. but at 230 a piece it's a little pricey for me right now... maybe in the future on my second time around building the car i will get those.

Adder, he said he was painting it a metalic blue, I like the ROH wheel but it may be a bit pricey.

I like number 3 the best and think it would look good on your car. I'm not to fond of black wheels.

Well since your going to be painting it, make sure you do the trim properly. Dont just go spray everything blue... Do your 1/4 window trims in black again, along with your door frames, the top part of the door around the window... nothing looks worse than a car thats OVERpainted

i dont know about the window trim and stuff.... i am actually going down to talk to him tomorrow about the paint job more.. the thing is.. i'm not paying for the labor of the paintjob... i'm trading my 03 skidoo mxz snowmobile for it... all i got to do is buy the paint so i will ask him if he would be willing to do the black trim again... i know he is doing all the jams and everything like that.

you should really make sure he re-paints the trim around the windows black like the car pictured above, better yet, print this picture out so you can show him exactly what you want...

painting it all one color wont look great, the flat black, or even semi gloss black, will REALLY offset the blue and make a nice contrast... Its all about details!!!
