Looking good or not, there's the ovbious problems.....the decals will fade in time, and when you take them off, possibly to replace them, the paint under them will look never then the paint around them. You just got a nice, new paint job, right? Just leave them off, dude, car looks awesome as it is.:lala:

I dont care for it at all, I think your stripe is too skiny for a single stripe. The wheels I dont care for they should be on a truck, the flames look alright. Just my opinion though, do what you like though!

Flames no,
I admit in that pic those rims look like A**, but I have seen a red T/A in person with them and it looked pretty bad *** actually.

Re: Why ***? Why?!
yea that pic does make the rims look like crap, here is a diffrent pic of it, looks nicer. and i am most likely not going to go w/ the flames since most of you dont like it
the stripe is already part of the car,
"86fyrbrd"i have seen the rims in person also and they do look much better. its hard to photo shop those rims for some reason

Take off the silly stripe, get some cool five star rims (such as the ROH's Quicktrip has, those look great, or ZR1, or 97ish TA rims like Zephers) Get a wrap around spoiler, and lower it some. Then it would look badass. The flames would be gaudy to me. Not quite the attention you really want. Flames are good for cars with huge blowers though

Maybe it would look like some of the cars on the boards, but be realistic, how many nice thirdgens have you seen lately? (in person)
Its hard to make a car look good and also "different" without stepping on other peoples tastes. It was just my .02 or whatever you guys say.

there are many nice looking thirdgens out where i live, so i want mine to stand out (even though someone copyed my stripe idea out here), im staying w/ the stripe, i like it a lot just my taste, not going w/ the flames though
about the rims, i basically am buying rims on a budget.. about $600 for the rims and tires is all i have, so bare w/ me i have limits

Yeah dude if you are only going with 600 bucks, you should stay with stock or used stock rims. GTA crosslaces, maybe some 90+ Formula wheels, something like that.

Oh, I just meant you could pick up some stock rims for that amount of money which I think would look better personally. For example, when I sold my Formula wheels, they were in great shape and I sold them with tires for 175 bucks. Granted I was trying to get rid of them but I'm sure you could find a deal as well.
If you are intent on getting 17's, I suggest you save youre money a leeetle longer and getter a better wheel. I saved for a year before I could get my wheels, and I am happy for every minute I waited.

I don't have a "trailer park" gauge, but this seemed to get the point across just the same.
Sorry man, I think the flames and the wheels both look terrible. Not just "ok" or "bad" but hideous. Sorry.
If you need wheels and you're on a budget, how about trying Ebay? I'm sure you can get some GTA wheels, or some other decent looking wheel for less than those POS things.
