What about "leave it as is" ?

Toadster · 10-20-2005, 10:54 PM

spokes blue, wheel rims 'as is'

someone give a brutha a photochop!

Chode6i · 10-20-2005, 11:09 PM

I too vote as is. Is there a reason why you want to get 'em powdercoated?

MZBuckeye · 10-21-2005, 12:15 AM

As is, or if you must, black. But I'd prefer as is for sure.

dayam6 · 10-21-2005, 12:37 AM

^^^ I agree.

Granada · 10-21-2005, 10:23 AM

I agree with as is. Please don't do blue.

Blue would only look good if you didn't have red calipers, the rims were 19"-20", and you slammed the crap out of your car. I say leave as is with the 17's.

Here are some chops. I'm not the best, but you get the idea.

I did spokes only with Black, and the inside of the rim with the Blue. Not quite the Lapis Blue, but as close as I could get.
