paint cured on wheels(i hope), stripe is one

[djomlas]

let me know what you guys think.





and just because i love black and white pictures

[clb0099]

i liked the all black the red is alittle out of place expct for the brake calipers.

Here's what I recommend: Get rid of that red and replace it with seagreen so it matches your car color. That will look very, very good.




I hope it's reversible.

Wait... you already painted it? Or is that photoshopped?

Er... I can't say I like that at all... the red is just way out of place. In all honesty, to me, it cheapens the look of the car.

nah............

[CJ_Boxster]

I like it with the top up. When the top is down it might not look so elegant anymore.

I guess here we go with opinions again..everyone is different...hate to say it, but I love it!! I have been seeing this trend on very high end cars.. Lambos, Ferrraris,..etc. and wanted to do it to my wheels. Black with the red is hot. Just my opinion.

[djomlas]

i guess its different because everyone wants to get some turbo twists and leave them as is, or similar 5 spoke wheels.
i really like multispoke wheels, and i love black, but it kinda blended in too much, so i wanted to break it up a little, and dont really want any green on my wheels

btw, its not painted on, its just a red pinstripe

I like how it breaks up the black on the wheels and tires, but I don't really like the red with your car. It doesn't compliment the Ocean Jade. Maybe another color would look better. Silver, possibly, or a light grey?

MY OPINION


The problem is that there is nothing to complement the red. If you had a red car, it'd look great, but it's very out of place.





Why red on your wheels but no green? Green matches your car at least. P-shop it and see how it looks

[djomlas]

car is green, wheels and brakes are black/red.

if i wanted to compliment the wheels i would have painted them green, along with green brakes, green side vent grilles, green front grille, and while at it i would have got a custom green interior....
it owuld be way too much green

Looks like a collage to me. Just a bunch of stuff thrown on. Its kinda like this... The mona lisa is a good painting because its a girl and some light background, you are trying to have a girl, some light background, a helicopter in the back fighting a space robot, and some breakdancers from the 80's flopping around. Too much, tone it down. Simplicity is the foundation of elegance.

I think it looked really good before.

DJ,

I actually don't mind it.....it's different!

[djomlas]

for some reason in pics the stripe looks pretty big.
heres a quick pic of it up close (dirty can and wheels, but you get the point)

[Bavarian Motorist]

Of course I see the calipers, I just meant that isn't what you notice when you look at the car (some might) but calipers, IMO, are anonymous enough where they don't affect the overall appearance of the car.



I hope you like it. At least it's reversible, right? No commitment

[djomlas]

yes, its reversible, its vinyl tape pretty much, but its very thin.

im still confused how u cant not notice big red shiny red brakes behind a black wheel, it should pretty much pop out at you. at least thats what i see as soon as i see the wheel, not just mine, but just ingeneral
