Bold and Daring move

TongMan · 03-02-2011, 02:40 AM

Thanks for all the comments, good or bad. Now I would like responses from those who dislike the different colors. Why do you dislike it? I can take criticism as long as they are constructive.

tongman - for me, a car is pretty symetrical on the outside so i like to have the same parts on both sides of the car. that's all. now if i was racing and had sponsor decals to match or using staggered setup for oval or something i dont mind at all as it's for a purpose none other than $$$ or function.

IMO, it makes the car look cheap. The 2-color scheme is something I usually see on cars belonging to high-schoolers. I'll give you props for having the guts to rock it, but it's not something I would consider.

Plus the typical line about heavy knockoffs, but I'll spare you....

can't stand the gold - i would of gone all black
also i don't get the different colored wheels, just not feeling it.

If you really are set on 2 different color wheels, i would of made the front a set and the back the same color set
different colors on each side makes no sense at all, difficult to see both at the same time.
I just fail to understand the reasoning

i think that was the reasoning.... enjoy 2 cars with one car.

i would just hit both wheels with some matte-black wheel paint and be over with.

If you don't mind me asking, can you PM the price you paid and where you got the wheels?

kenchan · 03-14-2011, 06:32 PM

I think he got em from Discount Tire, Custom Wheels, Truck & Car Rims | Discount Tire and like 175 a pop.

TongMan · 03-14-2011, 06:51 PM

I ordered my set from here:

Discounttires.com has the lowest prices on tires and wheels, all name brands, and a huge inventory. In most cases, shipping is one to two days guaranteed.

The prices went up since I bought my set.

I know this is asking a lot, but can you take a pic of how flush it sits offset wise?
Also, any problems swapping the TPMS over?

I dont see 5/114.3 on there

TongMan · 03-15-2011, 04:22 AM

5x114.3 = 5x4.5

gaveup · 03-15-2011, 06:07 AM

Thanks man. Wish they made an 18x10, looks like I'd have to get it in a 19 :\

BTW - I've had the color idea that you have for a while. I don't see how anyone can talk badly about it. You only view one side at a time.

TongMan · 03-15-2011, 08:27 PM

Thanks gaveup.

Offtopic: Did you know that the two pics I posted up above are the exact same dimensions, just that one is horizontal and the other is vertical?

alb84z31t · 03-15-2011, 08:51 PM

I personally think the gold look better than the black. It just helps it stand out. The black look too plain to me. That being said I would not do what you did, but who cares? It's your car do what you like! Everyone else can suck it.
