Ok i found some really sweet lookin rims and there red.Now how would it look flat black primer with them.I think it would look pretty good.so does my brother.there gloss red with a polished lip.

 

So the rims are red now, but you want to paint them black? So you are asking if black rims would look good? I think pictures of the rims would be a nice addition to this question and maybe a picture of your car.
More info needed.....

 

no...im sprayin my car in black primer..the rims are stayin red..

 

Red wheels + black primered car =

 

Doesnt sound to bad but why not go with a glossy black?

 

would the black primer be temporary or permanent? If temporary then okay, but if permanent, i wouldn't do it. Go with glossy....

Red wheels sounds kinda funny, but i would give you creativity points if you end up getting them....

 

no the primer is gonna be temp..here is the rims

 

maybe they'd look good if you drove a full-setup rally car, but on a maxima.... x 10, sorry.....

 

Well i sorta want it to look oldskool..and it would on an old skool max.

 

How is primered black and red wheels "oldskool"?

 

Ive only seen those rims on j spec hondas however on a maxima, it may look..... meh

 

DC2 Integra comes to mind . . .

 

you weren't even born when the first maximas came out

what d'ya know about old skool??

I can tell you, that in the "old skool" days, cars didn't have red wheels (except for, as I recall, one year of Pontiac Bonneville in the 80s came with them). Know why? Because even in the CHEESY '80s, they still looked lame.

(oh, and primered black isn't oldskool either....the only people who drive around like that are those who just replaced body panels and are too cheap to get a real paint job .....oh, and rednecks.)

jeeps can get away with that, since their paint gets thrashed anyways when offroading, but not full-size sedans.

 

The only car that looked coll with red rims was the Alitalia sponsored Lancia Stratos Gp. 5 car.

Can you say "ticket magnet"?

 

the kid is from tennessee......

 

I'd be willing to bet that you and I are the only ones in this forum who knows what that is

(of course, I used to own a Lancia )

 

Maybe more like Fool Skool.

 

Sadly. This is the best i can find. Pretty bad res.


her's a better one http://www.geocities.com/simontmalle...tosimg/al9.jpg

 

there's actually one of the original group Stratos cars at a Ferrari dealer in milan....saw it there years ago. IIRC, the Stratos actually used a Ferrari Dino engine, didn't it?

I myself am partial to the ralleye version of the car I had, the Delta Integrale Evo ....that thing was a BLAST to drive....

 

btw, apologies to lowandslow for going so far O/T!!!

 

Nah, I hope we talked him out of those ticket magnets in the process.

Beta Montecarlo (<<<<not a testbed Chevy)

 

well the dude still has the same rims in black...would they look better?

 

I've seen red wheels on old hot rods but on a max... Hell NO!!!







The year 2022: Do you remember that guy who put red wheels on a max??

 

all i got to say is flat black is nice, with red rims, im not sure. id go with the black rims. do what you think looks good, cant let peoples opinions effect that. have fun with your choice, show pics.

 

thanks dude..

 

Flat black is old skool if it was on a 30'-40's era rat rod with redrims but not on a max no way in hell but to each is own

 

My car isn't totally painted yet (hopefully in the spring), but damn what is it with TN and painting there cars/civics primered black!???? If I was gonna spend money on paint I would spend it on paint that shines in the sunlight, not some dull looking pile of ****.

To answer your question, it would look fugly. Case closed.

 

Get your car painted not primed and go with the black rims it will look much better.

 

Do whatever YOU want.....just post pics at the end or we'll hunt you down...

 

black rims all day, f that red ish.
