Colour choices..Need advice!!!!

[SR240SX]

So I am just getting ready to paint my 240sx and cant quite figure out what colour will look good with what...

I am keeping the stock midnight blue colour but am having trouble choosing the colour of wheels to go with the blue. Im tied up between 2 colours...Gold or white. But once i decide to go with the white or gold for the wheels..i will be painting the IC pipes, roll cage and the valve cover the same colour to match. I was thinking white would look pretty go although wheels and the IC piping would get filthy quite fast. Now the reason I dont want to go gold is that it might look tacky on the IC pipes and cage depending on the shade of gold it turns out as.

What do you guys think is the best route? I just want everything to flow and look good...any suggestions are welcome! even different colour choices are an option..just depends what! thanks !

I vote +1 for gold rims with a polished lip.

I don't recommend the white. Also do you have a pic of the rims?

That is my #1 choice to...BUT I dont think painting the cage,valve cover,and intercooler pipes gold will make it look good...Kinda think it will have a really tacky look...but maybe its just me?

why not do the wheels in the same color as the car???

Matching the rest of the stuff (like the pipes, cage, and valve cover) to your body paint would make more sense.

Blue would look retarded on wheels IMO. Wouldnt do that...

If I do go with gold wheels..these are what im looking at

in this finish it would look hawt

GOLD with a polished or chrome lip so nice!!!! dont color match the cage with the wheels not a good look. you could do a different shade of blue for the cage and other pieces to give a little contrast witout it being an eye sore. but it all depends on what look your going for, i like the clean look myself

Yea I was sort of thinking of doing this but the thing is the blue im using is already quite dark...and I deffinatley dont want to go with a lighter shade..so im not sure. I thought white wheels and everything else white to match would look kind of cool..but i really like the gold wheels.

Those red rims are super nice..but that would be way to expensive to have done for my budget..those rims alone are damn pricey.

I think black would look way nicer then both choices.
Cause a dark blue and gold just dosnt look right.

[Lo)2enz0]

whats your budget???

you get tires for cheap. so that shouldn't be an issue

and i will slap you if you go with sportmax's

LOL

[SR240SX]

Personally I think blue and gold looks sweet. Which is why im keeping the stock colour.

Sportmax's are cheap son! I'm still looking around for wheels I havent made a final choice yet..but I need to get the ball rollin summer is just around the corner!!!! My budget is...fuck I dunno I never really have one but I dont want to have to spend too much haha

[SR240SX]

What do you guys think of these Work wheels?


I was considering white and could be a good look I think....I also think the cage and valve cover would look good white...then i could just keep the IC pipes black? Or would white look good?

[al-ti2d]

i don't think work meister's belong on a 240.. lol
but i do feel the white wheels for your car.. that'd look pretty dope, but it'd still get dirty quick... but still.. white would be nice!

[Evolution17]

White car, black rims ftw

[Graham_A_M]

^ Nice. Even though he mentioned he wanted to keep the stock Midnight blue.

Those Gold deep dish rims you picked out would look great.

[SR240SX]

Yea the car is staying blue...so dont post opinions on a car colour lol.

I like those gold wheels aswell but the white wheels are roughly the same price. Plus the work wheels are allot better quality and allot lighter...butt then again the gold wheels come in a better size then the works im looking at..
