Eliots rims are 3 piece custom made, pink chrome 19’s or something rediculous. not spraycan pink/silver. i dont think you can compare. i dont care if Eliots rims were shit brown, they would still be sick… the color pink i think is just to make a statement. “i’ll paint my rims whatever color i fucking want, and my car will still look insane” ---

ever since elliot got his wheels, people have followed and copied, instead of maybe being different i.e the teg on here with the pink HX wheels, now travis with his pink wheels…who’s next? > [@oleg](#): > > I can see pink rims happening on a white or red car, but definitely not on silver. > having said that, I do feel bad for the guy. > this thread is full of hatorade drinkers :nono So elliot’s rims don’t look good? it’s a shade of silver, little darker. > [@94Gt5.0](#): > > Sorry i wouldnt know, never looked into the jdm stuff, just heard stories :haha Look into it, so you know what the white thing is that blows past the Mach :haha :tong > [@Swifty](#): > > Eliots rims are 3 piece custom made, pink chrome 19’s or something rediculous. not spraycan pink/silver. i dont think you can compare. i dont care if Eliots rims were shit brown, they would still be sick… the color pink i think is just to make a statement. “i’ll paint my rims whatever color i fucking want, and my car will still look insane” Ok, so how about your boy Seamus? ---

> [@K20power](#): > > So elliot’s rims don’t look good? it’s a shade of silver, little darker. couldn’t tell ya since I’ve never seen the car in question. as far as simple color matching on a car goes, pink would look good with red or white body. silver - not so much. that’s just color theory and my personal opinion, so take it for what it is. ---

i actually have no idea how long Seamus’s rims have been pink, so i can’t say that eliot or him were first, or that either of them knew about eachother. all i can say is Eliots cost more, but look better. ---
