Which color 6UL's to go with, decisions decisions
 
2 Attachment(s)
A while back I was in love with the bronze, then I started to like the black, now its the nickel. I like the silver as well, but I'm not sure why someone would get the silver over the nickel's (opinions?). Which finish should I go with? Anyone have any pictures of a white na with 6ul's in any color? Here are a few that I had saved to my computer, but I'd love to see as many more as possible before I pull the trigger. Comment away guys ;)

The results so far:

BLACK:10
NICKEL: 5
BRONZE:3
SILVER:1
WHITE: 2

+1, I'm torn between these two colors too.

I'm pretty much torn between black and nickel as well. Every once and a while I'll see a bronze pic that looks amazing though. Is there any difference between the black and nickel in terms of durability of the finish? Scratching, flaking, etc

I say nickel. Here are my bronze track wheels and nickel street wheels. One of these days I'll get some better pics.

Black. With what you've done to the car black is the only way to go.

KPLAFIN 02-07-2010 10:31 AM

For any other white NA nickel/Bronze. For yours, black. too much black carbon already to not go with black wheels. On that note, are you planning on doing anything else paint/carbon wrap wise?

I was kinda thinking the same thing...but those nickels are so damn nice! Plus if I ever need to sell them for some reason, I was thinking that the nickels would be easier to sell...maybe I'm wrong here.

Yeah, I plan on painting the finishing panel and rear bumper all white (no more stripe) and then I plan to wrap the windshield surround and part of the hood down to my bumper cutout (The bumper ducting will be wrapped as well) The rest of the front bumper will be white:

I painted my bronze black, back when it was a street car the bronze made the cops look at my car to much, black fixed that.

i love bronze wheels on white cars. bronze

miataspeed2005 02-07-2010 12:13 PM

Are you gonna fill that gap with those wheels? The flares stick out pretty far. Spacers?

y8s 02-07-2010 12:42 PM

SILVER.

the black and bronze are too contrived on the white car.

and the nickel is too dark and doesn't pop.

the silver has good brightness and will contrast well with the white.

Faeflora 02-07-2010 01:49 PM

15x9 negro.

IMO your car needs a consistent finish for your black parts. With the black wheels, you'll have matte, shiny, and carbon.

you are out of your mind, good sir.

Eadohcturbo 02-07-2010 02:16 PM

nickel ,balances nice w/ the black and white.

buffon01 02-07-2010 02:18 PM

I was also wondering which color would look good on my new-used 95. The nickels look facking awesome, but I was thinking on eventually getting a hard top, paint in black, and do black stripes. With that said I think the black 6uls are the best fit. So, Cspence I think you should go black.
