Raven FRS OEM white plasti dipped, opinions?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Whats up everyone, awhile back I plasti dipped my OEMs white but at that time my car was stock height.. lets just say it only lasted a week or two.. But now since ive had my car lowered for awhile now finally decided to try white again, I've always had black, love black on black would be my go to with any car really..

BUT this... this changed my view completely on it lol, I am loving this look so much i just want to sit down and look at it... WOULD YOU JUST LOOK AT IT..

Ive been debating on getting new rims but now since i see how good this actually looks these might just stay like this..

Anyway, what is everyone elses opinion?

And please dont take this post as if im bragging, just super happy with how it came out, im sure we all can relate.. cant wait to hear what everyone thinks!!

I would recommend investing in a new camera/phone, first. :D
Now back to the topic at hand. Go for it, if you like the look then do what pleases you. I personally like white wheels on black.

There's another section to post photos/vids. Just right below this one.

I find its a bit tacky. Sorry

I love how it gives the OEM wheels a complete new look. Standard, I'm not a fan of the wheel but when I see it like this: Yes please!

Ah, makes sense. Thought it was a potato at first. :lol:


I do like the look of the white actually, thinking about messing around with the color of mine while I wait for my tax return!

Honestly not too bad. Unfortunately with plasti-dip it makes the wheels look cheap just because of the quality of the plastidip.. But I definitely approve of white wheels on a raven! :thumbsup:

I was thinking the exact same thing. It leaves the impression that the car is disposable. Like maybe you buy them in 3-packs at KMart.

While I don't particularly like it, I also don't hate it either. It's certainly not as bad as some of the things people do to their cars.

Although also not sold on the plastidip aspect the white on black looks great. I have never been a fan of black rims on any car since they just blend in and create big black holes at each corner of the car.

Yep, black rims on a black car, looks to me like someone just stole the hubcaps off a black car ........ :iono:

A nice 2 inch whitewall will make them pop though.

Depends on the car and the car's color. If you do it right, it can leave a somewhat sinister or "no nonsense" impression. I personally like yellow and red cars with black rims.

That is where gunmetal works for me. Doesn't jump out and scream "look at me" but you can tell they are there.

Looks just like painted OEM wheels.

Mr_Hann 03-21-2016 05:03 AM

I have always thought the OEM wheels to be better as a single color. Instead of looking like two sets of 5 spoke wheels on top of each other, they look like multispoke wheels. Then again I find that EVERY wheel which combines a polished section with machining to look cheap and classless. I don't think they stand the test of time.
