Hi

I have a black 08 with the 08wheels but happen to have a set of 04-06 stock rims with tires lying around aswell. Ive seen some pics on gold or bronze rims looking good on the black s2000. What do you guys think, would the 04-06 rim go well in bronze or some darker tone of gold? I like the appearance of the 04-06rims.

Best regards

Bronze FTW that would look great, gold might be to sharp, and tad to much on the Italian Mafia look (you know, the open shirt with the gold chains and chest hair style, sorry to all the Italian's ahead of time!)

some guy from Delval has a berlina with gold ap1 rims he painted himself, they look sharp. lemme see if i can find the link to the thread.

im at work so i cant see the pics but i believe this is it.

Thanks for the link

That combination sure look good. I am now convinced almost any gold/bronze rim will match up well with the black car.

I had black rims on my previous silverstone car, but I dont like black rims on black car, just too much for my taste.

The stock 08rims are looking OK aswell, so they are also an option, but not as hot as bronze or gold rims i think

Thanks for the input everyone.

Anyone with personal experience on getting rims painted? Just to get a slight understanding on what price that could be acceptable for it?

painting them yourself is about 40 bucks....one can of primer 3 cans of paint and a can of clear...jsut sand the clear off the stocks, blast primer, 3 coats of paint, them a million clears and you're set for life. putting on tires doesn't even scratch them.

Then thats a strong alternative for sure.

What type of paint do you refer to? I am not that familiar with automotive paints, im more into painting art

Ive heard good things about dupicolor for painting wheels. I may or may not do this in the spring with my AP2 wheels, i love the the bronze look.
