Draco-REX Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 So the BRZ wheels I made the big thread about don't fit over the new brakes. Grrr.. I have another set coming, but I'll be powdercoating them right off the bat because silver will look like crap. Black car, BRIGHT yellow calipers, these wheels: http://www.wheeldude.com/wdg/ul/index.php/800/800/gallery/8956_1.jpg (Yeah, yeah. Rotas.. I've been on both sides of the argument.) I was originally thinking black wheels. But I thought I'd involve the CR Collective to get some other ideas on colors. Other ideas: Black w/ single yellow spoke Black face with yellow barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Panic1647545539 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Gold spokes with a polished lip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Have them chromed and anodized yellow, Black or the shade of Gold Doc's non-CCW wheels are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I was tired of black wheels on black cars and went with a dark metallic gray. I am very happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm not a fan of polished/chrome wheels on modern cars. Without other polished accents on the car it makes the wheels look "separate" from the car. So I'll have to vote no on those ideas. I was tired of black wheels on black cars and went with a dark metallic gray. I am very happy with them. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/05/u7u4u7a7.jpg Thought a pic might be helpful This was an option too. But I'm concerned about how the bright yellow calipers will look behind them. I think black will make the calipers pop more, and putting a little bit of yellow on the wheel will tie them together. I was considering white at one point. The brightness of the yellow would be lost a bit. But the overall impact of the wheels would be eye-catching. However I would need to get some white onto the car elsewhere to tie them in. What about a matching yellow lip, but black face and inner barrel? Hmm..

HotCarl Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I like different, so single yellow spoke has my vote. Honestly which ever way you are leaning go with that. Its your car as long as you like the way it looks. wait, whats wrong with Rota's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I have another set coming, but I'll be powdercoating them right off the bat because silver will look like crap. Disagree. Keep 'em silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Black face with yellow barrel Friend of mine just painted a set of wheels and did matte gray centers with white barrels and it's really a striking look without being over the top crazy.

bucd Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 My vote goes for metallic gray/gunmetal gray. I think the yellow calipers will pop regarless of what color wheels you go with (except yellow). -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Another vote for graphite/gunmetal/anthracite. I'm tired of blacked out. I dipped mine gray, but they are much lighter than I'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 As is. Painting wheels is something you do when you're 17 trying to pimp our your first car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie89 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm currently having the same troubles deciding on wheel color too. :/ trying to be a bit different than the typical black lol. I think bronze or white wheels may make a black car pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Is your license plate 6 speed V by any chance. Nope. Why would someone need that plate on a first gen anyways? Back on topic - just remember a light colored barrel may look good at first but if you drive the car at all the brake dust is a nightmare.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Other ideas: Black w/ single yellow spoke Invert that. Yellow w/single black spoke edit: maybe with BR-Z in yellow on the black spoke? or is that too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on topic - just remember a light colored barrel may look good at first but if you drive the car at all the brake dust is a nightmare. Bingo. It will look perfect for 20 minutes. Then to get them 100% clean you would have e to remove the wheel. No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
