Benner Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 So my stock T-stars are getting really faded/dulled so I'm throwing the idea of Refinishing/painting them. I either want a graphite color or black. So which of these do you think looks better. And I know I know. It's a Grand Prix, but it's what I have so Oh well. I know they're close but trying to get a general idea. Here's stock http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj32/Formula98/CarShoot6.jpg Lighter color http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj32/Formula98/Graphitelight.jpg Darker Color http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj32/Formula98/Graphitedark.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benner Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Don't think it would look right with all the dips and curves. Colors would look off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Alex- Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Neither, I think both look ghetto. Just polish them up the best you can and leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price is nice, but I would avoid spending money on 6.5" wide wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 The price is nice, but I would avoid spending money on 6.5" wide wheels. That's actually a stock fitment, whats wrong with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Not a lot, like I said, the price is nice and the fact that they fit for sure w/o spacers or clearance issues is nice. If I was to buy a different set of wheels for a decently powerful fwd car like this though, I'd sure is hell spend the money on something that supports a wider tire. All I'm sayin.

Aaron Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 grey wheels on brown cars look horrible Painted silver, or polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Spend the money on a Mother's polish ball and a drill then go to town. one wheel is a different finish than the others so i'd have to get a hold of another wheel that's like the others.

I suppose, just didn't think that was such a big deal. The mustang wheels would be a decent choice as well. So long as you don't paint the stockers.

crummer Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Maybe a matte titanium color? Sort of a lighter graphite grey with more silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I forget the name of the ones I really like, but they are simliar to these. There's a guy/feel bad I forget his name, who had a nice Black GTP and worked in Dublin. Screen name there was Bluejacket. I've pm'd him for details. He sold it and has a nice black G8 now. Was on goclubgp and I thought there. His were perfect. Get them and drop it just a bit. Looks tits. The GPX ? Concept back in the late 90s, dark blue/gold.....was HOT. I'll see if I can find pics of it. Get Bonny GXP wheels even. http://www.elepent.com/autos/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/X04PN_GP049.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a19/2001whitegtp/Grand%20Prix%20GTP/IMG_0342.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
