well my Gold Xlace rims are so torn up, im gonna get some new ones, they have Gold, Silver, and White, since i cant find any rims that look good for it, that dont look like they belong on a freakin honda civic, im just gonna get new Xlaces, Gold Seems kinda old ladyish, (im 16) White probably not too good lookin, and Silver looks a bit out of place, what do u guys think? Mines Red by the way

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.

oh alright, its just people have been saying its got old granny wheels on it, and junk, so, thats why, theres torn up, the old lady that had this car was 75, she bought it brand new in 1990 and she just rammed the curb, and it stuff, ugg, the front valence is ripped off, the anttena is screwd up, dents, dings, lookslike she side swiped a black car, she never repaired any of it! ok so mabye gold agian, it depends

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

Black might look good.

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?

Wow, this is like the perfect reply right here.... :biggrin:

Hehe, my friends are idiots, but i like the chrome idea, cause, i dunno, lol, i do, but Black would be kinda cool, id have to get them powder coated tho right? and then id probably paint the manifold Black and Sliver, so thad be cool, have the ultamate Halloween Mobile lol

Quote from: Prospeederid have to get them powder coated tho right?

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

but wouldnt it look better, or be more durable, how much more would that be? id buy some new silver xlaces and paint them black them
