to Paint or Not to Paint Rims ????

[shaman1204]

Of course my opinion is biased as my summer rims are black, but I think they would look good in a black satin finish. Maybe a thinner yellow line around the outside and dont paint the rivets, or paint them the matching yellow, although that may be overkill.

I personally do not like the yellow/ black wheel combination. It's just too much.

I like the idea, But instead of a thick yellow lip... We do a nice 1/8th" thick yellow pin stripe and it looks great and aggressive.

IMO I would not.
I appreciate yellow cars but I do not see myself ever owning one, so perhaps if you are the kind of person that can own a yellow car you are inclined to like the wheels painted that way, I'm not so I wouldn't know

That is by no means a slam, just an observation. Do what feels good, it's only paint.

I'm with CJ,I think black wheel with1/8th pin stripe would look sweet the full lip painted looks too "clunky"

I would leave as is. There so much more your can do to your car and make it look even more sportier.

1. Clear Tail Light 03' - $175
2. Clear Side Marker Light - $25
3. Paint the bumperettes - $50
4. Boxster Aerokit II Side Skirts - $700

sosamaya,

Here is another view for you. I also considered doing this to my Boxster awhile back and did a quick ps mokup as well.

I love the black wheels with yellow pin stripe,Did you ps the hardtop,mirrors and windscreen surround in black too?Gives your car a strong look.

Just another opinion from the peanut gallery. I've always loved the classic black Fuchs wheels, but I think on your yellow box you should stay with what you got.

I ps'd the windshield surround and mirrors. I picked up a black hardtop and decided to keep it that way and save the money from not painting it for other mods...

That lambo doesn't look good because those are old school wheels painted in black with yellow stripe.

But how about blue/black?



Or yellow with silver lip?



Green?
