What's up guys.. Alright so in about a month I will be getting my car wrapped with the avery emerald green metallic.. Also gettin some 18in wheels and new tires to go along with it, now this is where I'm stuck.. I think gold rims would look nice now this is where I need input what do you all think?? I was looking at the gold f1r f17 machine gold wheels, yes or no?

What happened to the dip?

Not a fan of gold rims on any colour but white or black. To me it just looks cheap against other colours.

You are a brave soul asking that question here. Brace yourself!

First thing that comes to mind is leprechaun.

About the dip.. Lol, don't get me wrong I loved it and it was nice but I want to go the vinyl route.. Just feel like durability wise it'll be better in the long run. I had got gas one day and the little amount that dripped ate the dip away just like that. Don't want to worry about things like that.. And lol I'm just here for advice, and yeah I'm a black wheel type of guy too but dk if they'd look good on the emerald, have you seen that color vinyl? White might actually look crazy on it.

Gun metal gets my vote.

Think white is worse than the gold actually!

Yeah not liking that to much, but those are the rims. Maybe black? I think 10 spoke black rims might look nice, it's hard to picture it that's why I'm here asking for opinions lol..

KingGT86 · 05-05-2015, 10:13 PM

What do you think about the ESM platinum 002s ?

Tcoat · 05-05-2015, 10:16 PM

I will stick to my gunmetal vote I think. Black is just going to look like a big void on the sides. Can't find a pic with black.

Oh, have no doubt, you are going to get loads of opinions!
Here is something to put some of them in!

Again not a fan. May sound odd but they are too much flash for the car even in the green.
That green on a lowered (not slammed) car needs something to compliment it not overshadow it.
