new iroc wheel idea?

was thinking about doing a set of 17" iroc rims with just the slots in the spokes painted red to match my car, like how my 92 z28 rims are done. then maybe as an extra bonus polish the rest of the rim and clearcoat the whole wheel. has anybody done this paint/polish combo, or just done the slots on the wheels to match the car. lets see some pics to see the results.

not body colour, but painted.. abubaca.



I think it'd be awesome with a black car and black insides on two line 16" IROC wheels.

Thanks for the credit

Here's another of mine, only chopped.

Too much red. The Z28/RS wheels don't have as much area painted so I think it looks OK.

haha, as soon as i saw the pic thats what i noticed too. granny panties, someone should tell that girl to get some thongs. Onto the wheels. i think it would be cool if you did your wheels painted like stockers. Do it in 18's though.

I've have no powers here in this world! Move it to my board!


....anyhow, here's a pic of Mr.Z06's 18 wheel. For the record, his car is in my top 5 here on TGO, and possibly in the top 2. I have the utmost respect for him and his ride. But in the meantime I chopped his car!

Do you have a pic in mind that you'd like to see chopped?
