Just want to see what you guys think. I installed my coil overs this past weekend and found some black pin stripe laying around so I wanted to see what it'd look like on my rims...

I'm personally not really feeling it and ended up not installing the stripe on the other 3 rims, but wanted to see what you guys think about it. opinions please [patriot]

No stripe

With Stripe

No good...
Good thing you didnt waste your time on the other 3

I personally like it. I think it goes with the theme of the car "white & black". Alought it is your car so only one opinon counts!

Something about it doesn't look right, I don't know what though. [Confused]
 
Posted by essasin (Member # 4741) on :
 
It think it's because these wheels don't have a stepped/defined lip. They are flush and look really clean with no interruption to the tire/body. I think it would be a very cool combo to see on other white wheels.

thats probably what it is...these wheels are very "smooth" so the addition of the stripe tries to break up the lines when in fact there is no line to break [Big Grin]

I'd have to say negative on that maybe paint the calipers gloss black though.

ian, leave em alone..the only wheel upgrade id go w/ on your car is w/ a set of forged and/or 2/3 piece wheels. id say drop that hawaii money on a set of ccw's, true forged or iforged.

WTF? lol

yeah I'm not a fan of the stripes either. The white rim with a stripe reminded me of the rims that are on my Wave Runner trailer. you know what, if you are looking for a little contrast. I'd say paint the calipers black, paint the COBRA letters white, "wet sand". Then hit it with at least 4 coats of clear. I think the letter's would pop. just my 2

Hell yeah, take them off & buy the supplies, prob like $30 bucks, I'll do them up for you. Let me check my supplies I might have a few things left. The only thing I know I don't have is 2000 grit sandpaper and white paint. You still need to install the S/S lines right? I can see it in my head but really want to see what it looks like. I think yours will even look better than mine. I had to spent about 4 hours just removing old caliper paint.


Have you ever thought about blacking out your snakes? or even black chrome? I think little details like this is what can set any stang apart from the rest.

I already installed the SS lines when I was doing the coil overs...thats why I somewhat cleaned my calipers already [Big Grin] I'd hate to hassle you to paint them, plus I dont really feel like pulling them off again [Razz] Thanks though Jay!

How'd you know I was shooting with a D3100??? In any case, I just bought it and its a sick little dslr [worship] I had a D40 (which is a great camera too!) but I needed the video option so the D3100 was my choice. Takes great pics, fast, and videos come out pretty good! You should definitely get one...or better yet, get the D7000 if you have the extra cash [patriot]
