hey guys, just wanted your opinion on SOME rims, my mate is selling SOME SPARCO RIMS for 500 bucks, they are 16s and yes they fit my ea, but the only bad thing is, my car is the same colour as the rims....WILL THEY LOOK OK? I HAVE SOME PICS BUT THEY ARE TOO BIG TO UPLOAD.

white on white is not cool IMO. Any colour coding of wheels is weird to me.
i was thinking about powder coating some rims white and getting the pin stripping around the car done white aswell. I have a photo shop that someone did and I think it looked awesome...Ill see if I can find the pic edit: found it

i thought about painting my S-Pac rims gloss Black, i reckon it would look pretty decent on a red car. I think black EF stockies would have the same effect though.
Make sure you post pics when you get them on. |

I don't reckon it would look too bad, but colour code your bumpers.
A mate of mine (fordfan351) has white rims on his white EF and I like the look. Stands out anyway.

Do it heres a pic of my old EA with white CSA's, and also a pic of my Red ED with white Gladiators.
I am looking at getting new wheels at the moment, and i will be getting the centers painted white. DO IT! dare to be different. When i put the white Gladiators on my ED everyone loved it.

I reckon white on white wouldnt look bad.
Like TIKFD6 said "dare to be different". Take a pic of your car and photoshop your rims on if your unsure. Give you a bit of visual to help you make a decision.

Hahahah, they actually look good on your car.
I am just a big fan of white wheels. I loved the R31 GTS skyline in Red with the white.

Thicker rim spokes for the EA would look better, more solid.
Spinners freak me out stopped at the lights! Love em!

Just get them i reckon.
Dont worry about people saying they look gay. Its time to get with the times. Its no wonder most of the imports/ricers ИИИИ on the aussie stuff for looks coz they have stuff that looks modern and good. Too many falcons and commies getting around with either old school stuff(eg 12 slotters), plain looking factory mags or big chrome mags that went out of fashion about 5 years ago. |

White wheels on a white car look ok if there is a chrome/polished/machined lip, to break it up.
White also looks good on blue cars.
