Hey I was thinking of painting the SS wheels that I got at a swap meet on my Formula. They are silver now and I was going to go white like the car. Opinions? Should I go white or is that too much white on a white car?

 

too much i think

 

I agree-too much.
I think what's on there now looks good!

 

IMO, color matched wheels look like crap. Even on the old first gen camaros, I still think they look out of place. I would leave them silver, or maybe polish them.

 

I would say Silver, Polish or Black to Dark Gray.

 

Stay the way it is, it will look cheap and slow with all the fancy! Andy

 

the way they are now is slick!

 

That is the conclusion that I am coming to as well! Thanks guys!

 

all the ricers around here paint their rims to match. looks retarded. A good set of chrome rims like the ones on it now is all you need. But hey it's your car, do whatever you want. If people laugh flip em off and spin the tires.

 

ha, one kid around here has a completely red car with blue rims...or is it a blue car with red rims? either way its

 

id do it. a white SS with white ss wheels looks good. i think thats what im going to do with my iroc, put white ss wheels on it.

 

I like the white SS with the white wheels also but I may be getting the chrome 17" version of these wheels in the spring so I might just wait to see if I get enough $ saved to do that! Thanks!

 

How about these wheels?

 

Nothing else on my car is gold otherwise I would consider it.

 

wheres a puke symbol when you need one? :nono:

 

I'd paint'em too. too much light color go'in on there. A shade of grey/charcoal would look nice . My T/A is white W/ silver decals and I look forward to the day I find some nice charcoal rims.

 

And what about the aniverssary firebirds with the white rims.. I suppose those were wack as well eh ?

 

all i have to say is look at a newer white grand am, with white wheels. ewwww, puke symbol is defiabtely a necessity stuart

 

I'll tell you what...that gold is no good, but how about that magnesium/pewter color that those rare C5 vettes have? That is an awesome color...

 

That would be ok! Though I would rather have the C5 wheels period!!!

 

I think it could look incredible and it could look horrible, of course these are my opinions but im gonna post some pics.
First up, roh zs wheels painted graphite from the factory and they look awesome? You decide (I fell in love with this car when I first saw these pics)
(I had to reduce the quality and size of the picture to post, sorry.)

 

Here is a black car with black ZR1 rims (painted, not powder coated. The guy owns a paint and body shop so it's obviously professionally done. Still don't like it.)

 

Maybe its just the zr1 (which I am planning on getting and polishing) but there is a white iroc on the boards with zr1s body matched. He posted in the "top ten best cars" if you haven't seen his pics. Incredible car, just don't like the look of the body matched paint.
Its all personal opinion I'm just trying to help out with some pics
