Track wheels ON.:)

Endre · 05-27-2009, 12:48 PM

Toyo Proxes R888 in 225.45.17.

Color on the wheels will be changed somtime during the summer...

Endre · 05-28-2009, 03:14 AM

Anyone wich could try to PS the rims in different colour for me?
Im thinking these alternatives:

- Completly white
- Gold like impreza rims
- BBS gold with white pinstripe?
- White/Lemans blue

Other ideas? Its only for track, so i can experiment a litle with them. I see the brake dust issue with white tho...

what rims are those and how much do they weigh? offset?

Endre · 05-28-2009, 07:53 AM

They are only some M3 replicas with ET47.
I dont have the weight on them, but they are lighter than the stock 18" atleast.

Will put them on a scale when i remove the tires for painting.

I dont like black wheels myself, but got them at a fair price, and since it was track wheels the finish dont need to be 100%. Forgot to list normal wheel color/silver to the list, but that is surely an option!

Would be great if someone would help with PS, since i have cleaned the wheels now, and they are almost ready to paint.

Yoshii · 05-28-2009, 05:10 PM

looks ok..

modbargains · 05-28-2009, 05:24 PM

oh my... looks interesting

Artmasterx · 05-28-2009, 05:36 PM

Personally, I have never like the pinstripe idea. I think the BBS gold may look good. I always thought it went well with the rally blue, and you are not far off. Gunmetal is also a good option for looking good and hiding brake dust.

Agree. Also the rally cars where why i tought it would look ok, but i dont have a Rally car anyways.

Gun Metal is an option, and what about painting the whole lip in rim silver? (Not just pinstripe)

slog · 05-28-2009, 11:14 PM

Oh god.

Paint those asap. My vote goes for white. That might look cool but it will be a b1tch to keep clean

bimmerboy · 05-28-2009, 11:37 PM

, but hey, as long as they are lightweight and mounted on some sticky rubber, thats all that matters right

But i will probably paint them in a light Gun metal colour. Maybe paint the lip silver/gray.

Gun Metal will be great for the breakdust.

White will be a bitch, but CAN look ok.. Would be great to have seen the alternatives in a PS mod first so i dont have to paint them several times.

Tj303 · 05-29-2009, 02:15 AM

+1 paint the lip, but i reckon paint it black... It shouldn't be a highlighted feature of those wheels

Endre · 05-29-2009, 02:18 AM

Wouldnt the rim look wery small if the lip is black? Looks like a part of the tire then?

Endre · 05-29-2009, 03:56 AM

A box of grey is bought, and i will test on a rim today.

Great that it almost has the same colour as my brake dust.

Endre · 05-29-2009, 08:01 AM

Just tried on one rim. No clearcoat yet, but think i will just clearcote them and be done with them.

Pics on car wil probably not come until next weekend.

wow that actually turned out pretty good

Endre · 05-29-2009, 09:00 AM

Thx, so do i. Like them ALOT better now.

Only problem now was when i went to get more paint to take the last one, they where sold out with that colour.:S

So i made them blend Nogarogrey from the E30 M3 Sport Evo rims. Have to paint everything once more, but think it will be even better.

But the cost was over 75$ just for the base paint..

BerkTechnology · 05-29-2009, 02:29 PM

interesting and good choice on the new color

bimmerboy · 05-30-2009, 12:51 AM

This looks 100x better! post some pics after the clearcoat as well
