I think being a girl u can pull it off. Maybe a darker shade of pink might work better though.... Have u thought about maybe just having ur BBK powder coated instead?

True, lol. Its not an easy decision paying for wheels when you're not sure how they'll turn out. But hey, you can always PC them to another color until you're happy. And I think either of those lugs will look good with the blue/pink theme you'll having going on with your bbk.

No way, I LOVE my BBK and wouldn't mess with it. I get too many compliments to ever change it, besides, it was not an easy task getting it on and I don't have another car to drive while the brakes are off.

Very true, never considered that! That makes me feel a little better.

yeah, it def be a project, but you find the right shop to powdercoat them and ull be fine. and rep wheels are "inexpensive" so ppl dont mind buying them and PC themselves...
where are you from anyway?
I know a guy selling varrstoen LM reps, not on the forum. very nice dimensions. ill pm you his contact info and a pic if i can find one. Might be a good place to start...

found this, not really feeling it. I think instead of pink rims you should do more of a dark purple. It will look more subtle on the car. Right now it looks like it stands out way too much out of place. Just my opinion though. Please update would love to see more pictures as you get this project rolling.

^ Looks as though the whole barrel is pink, which makes it look like too much pink and I'm not feeling it on that car either. I think as long as she has a decent sized lip and keeps it polished, as well as going with a slightly darker shade, she'll be fine.

Those wheel sizes are perfect along with the 15 offsets. Consider gun metal for the centers and pink lugs, that would look good on your coupe and still give you the girlie look due to the lugs....Gary

i think pink rivets and pink bbk would look better, the all pink may be too much but like everyone else has said, it may just be the brightness. and +1 for repowdercoating if you dont like how they turn out. just my opinion so go for it if you like it!

Thnx for the advice thus far. It has all been very helpful! I'll have to play around in photoshop with a darker pink and a purple.

I could really see a dark purple, maybe subtly chromed or highly glossed, again with a polished rim. AB is the best color (which is why my coupe is AB), but its classy (also why my coupe is AB). IMHO hot pink is too flashy. Don't do it!
