Thanks to Ahmed for a photochop i now want my wheels gold. My queston is what product to use if i were to spray paint them…? The wheels are 2pc so i was thinking the better option would be to seperate them and get them powdercoated? The old paints chipping a bit where the nuts go so id deffinatly get them sandblasted as well. I may have to change that pinstripe too if i go gold…Input?

powder coating is defiatly the best way to go, regular spray paint will chip over time and look like shit ---

wider front fender plus lower offset rear will be perfect and totally baller if you go with this… and some nice side skirts perhaps (or not) and now that i think of it should have told me to make pinstripe gold too? ---

Gold will look a lot better with your car than silver, for sure I prefer the silver stripe on the car it makes the lip on the rims stand out more, which looks crazy ---

I like the black gold red…but that picture is really making the gold pinstripe stand out soo much that it looks shitty…Ill deffinatly go with gold wheels and possibly look into the pinstripe and find a more settle gold pinstripe…maybe cuz its photoshoped its standing out too much which is killing it…but the red gold black theme goes well…i could do that threwout my car with the interior and have a gold piping around my racing seats which will be red vinal with seude inserts and black french stitching. For now no go with the gold pinstripe but deffinatly gold wheels…20% are saying stick with the silver wheels…the gold makes my dish look bigger/more visable. ---
