Ive been playing with a few ideas and this came to mind. Is it the prange that you guys dont like?

Mike had a similar setup on his nismo wheels:

i didn't think it looked bad but you really have to have a complete lip all the way around for it to look right imo. if you do decide to get them powdercoated... mike's the guy to talk to

Yeah I agree I was thinking about making the 'V's orange as well. Im not set on anything yet. Those pics look great by the way.

I'm sorry but I really don't like it

anthonyy · 08-23-2012, 01:13 PM

Mike's looks badass with the matching calipers.
The photoshop just doesn't look right because the spokes extend onto the orange lip creating an ugly 'blooming' effect.

Ill have her play around with it some more tonight probably and ill post it up. Thanks for all the comments guys

i think it can look good, but not with the stock sport wheels. you really need to have wheels with a full lip to do the 2 tone thing without it being tacky. there's nothing wrong with all black either:

all black. the wheel design isn't really two-toneable.

Apparently the Porsche GT3RS comes in this color combo I saw it when I was browsing

HKYStormFront · 08-24-2012, 10:00 PM

still no with those wheels :\

I'm wondering what doing the nismo rims in metallic black but then having the nismo logo on each wheel done in all white with a red "o" would look like.
