Gold looks like it belongs. The orange doesn't really have anything to play off of, you don't have amber lenses or sidemarkers, whereas momofoolio's car has a bunch of orange accents to go with it. And personally, I don't think that wheel style would look good in orange. A multi-spoke wheel would pull it off better.
I like the takata-esque green color, but like many have said, your car isn't 'wild'.
I'm with the guy who recommended Plasti-Dip. If you don't like it, just peel it off, plus it will protect the factory paint on the wheels, and if you ever choose to sell them, they'll still be the original color.

sorry for the crappy job







my vote goes to gold, i don't think you have aggressive enough mods for the bright colors
white would look good too, hard to photoshop

Really helps....


I personally like white but its a PITA to keep clean. Honestly that orange looks really good, maybe a darker shade of orange to go with the dark blue so it doesn't contrast too much, but yeah like others said a more aggressive stance would definately help pull off the flashy colors but blue/orange is always

Was thinking along those lines of the orange as well but as poeple have said i dont think the offset is there to pull those colours off...

Next step is to try and find an offset that might work....

to run on stock fenders? depends how much camber you're willing to go for and fender work if you're keeping stock fenders. and i would be considering on going lower first before getting more aggressive wheels. i think getting aftermarket wheels on stock height makes a lot of cars look really goofy

Fender are rolled on rear but can roll more if needed.....

If the car is lowered a bit more do will i get the more "aggressive" look

what about the fronts?
and yes, lower will make it look more aggressive. you car looks like it's at stock height
and i would say (based off pictures and such, no experience at all) the lowest offset i would run on stock fenders would be +35. if it it were i would run +45 or +40 to be safe

reference of what +35 looks like


you can see the rear having a lil more camber than the front already. also depends on your wheel widths too

I think you should get some coilovers and lower it a bit more. Then pick a wheel color that contrasts the blue like white or gold. Something brighter because the bronze is to muddy looking next to that deep blue. I think the problem is the rest of the car looks to stock and it needs to have a more aggressive look to match the wheels. For instance look at this car.

https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/831.../page__st__100

Same body mods as you just lower and it looks far more aggressive and the wheels contrast the rest of the car while matching details like the headlights. Even polishing the wheels would look good at this point or getting them redone in a finish like this.



Thats work's metal buff finish and it is something like a nickle plate or almost a smoked chrome. I think it would look incredible against the blue of your car.

Yeah fenders are rolled on the rear. I have no rubbing issues at all. Just wanting the aggressive stance...
