anodized green wheels on my green car?
 
I may have a set of scratched up te-37's (trading my vw for the wheels and $1000 w/ra-1's). I was just going to spraypaint them bronze...but I already have a set of bronze wheels. What about stripping them, and doing anodized green?

it'll probably not come out the way you'll want it to, but do whatcha like

Ben 07-21-2007 06:35 PM

eeewwww

paint them gunmetal. or powdercoat them "nickel" then clear to emulate the 6ULs.

magnamx-5 07-21-2007 06:35 PM

green is ugly :gay:

color matched wheels don't look good 99% of the time.

fuck, I'd just buy the 6UL's, but I know the first time I oversteer over curbing its going to fuck them up. Its so hard to find used track wheels...even K1's. my 14's are gunmetal, and they look grotesque.

I found another set of 15" NB wheels for $250...might just go that route. i want to run 225's after going out for a ride in an NA NB on 225 ra1's.

I agree, but anodized green on a green car might look cool. I'm still toying with the idea of a new set of gold rpf1's...but they are too nice to track.

:werd: my black AMGs on my black E class don't look as good as I thought they would. And it was TOUGH to find real, black AMGs. IIRC I have 1 of 2 or 3 sets Mercedes/AMG ever made in black.

magnamx-5 07-21-2007 06:57 PM

RPf1's are track wheels man super tough and light i love mine i have been thinking about another set for my sister as well or maybe something wider for if i decide to track with more rubber on my ride. they aren't cheap though you would do well to get some for less than 750 or so $

black on black always looks good. My car is too dark to go with black wheels...but I guess who gives a shit on the track. These own my life...but not for the price:

I was all green'd out after doing my first street bike all green. I liked the look as did others, but idk about a dark brg wheel, I like the gold ones for your car.

why not? there aren't any potholes on tracks at least. 16" would probably work better anyway on the track, but tires will be more expensive.

turbopezz 07-21-2007 08:48 PM

if you got them in a dark green anodized finish it would look cool.but light or neon 80ish green will look gay.

E55 FTW! PIX!

Pitlab77 07-22-2007 12:49 PM

sounds weird to me.

Kelly 07-22-2007 01:28 PM

It would be ultra hot on a black, white or silver car. If your car was a much brighter vibrant green it would work as well but not on such a dark green.

Rusman could pull it off like a motherfucker.

I have a regular old E, but it does have the V8. I've had it 7 years or so, and it was great for the first 5. Now the Fucking thing is ALWAYS broken.

Before I bought my house I came so very close to getting an E55AMG wagon, black with black leather, black wood, and navigation. It was a special built car for an MB exec that was sent back to Germany. Just couldn't stomach the car payment + payment on the new house. House (the investment) won, car (the expenditure) went to some lucky SOB.
