Post by: Prospeeder on November 06, 2004, 03:03:49 PM

I don't think gold looks old ladish.  Old lady cars usually don't use 16" x 8" wheels, no matter what color. :shock: Because of the gold accents throughout the car, I think the gold wheels match it quite nicely.  Personally, I'm having mine done in gunmetal grey when I restore the TGP.

This man speaks the truth, Gunmetal/Polished lip > *.wheel color.....  :D

I think the Gold X-lace wheels look very good on the car (besides being rediculously heavy).  I would either get some gold ones, or gunmetal with a polished lip like both above posts say...those would look pretty good.  Thats an honest opinion coming from a 17 year old.

My plan is to have the crosslace wheels painted black and keep the polished lip.  I think it will look very good when combined with tinted windows and maybe tinted tail lights and head light covers.

ok, what if i had my Xlaces dipped in chrome, that would be bad ass, i might do that, buy some new 200$ ones and dip em in chrome, that would be about as much as actual rims, and theyd look cool

Than I would DEFINITELY go black on the wheels.  The contrast between the orange and black would be awesome, in my opinion.

Gold looks old ladyish?  Chrome would be cool?  No offense, but.....did it ever occur to you that your friends are idiots?

It's an option, but you certainly wouldn't have to..
