I wanted to liven up the car a bit, so after several photoshops with different rim colors, I went with the closest match that I could get to the Honda/Acura RIO yellow. Had the shop also do a coat of gold flake, and then topped with one coat of clear. I don't think many colored rims match blue cars, but I saw a few pics online of a blue GTR and RSX with yellow TE37's and it seemed to work.








A pic with my daily driver Civic. The Civic has 15" TE37's powdercoated candy blue by the same shop. Those rims are only 9 lbs a rim!




Did my best to save the volk stickers. I have replacement stickers for the front of the rim coming in, hopefully soon.




A not so great pic of the gold flakes.

 

Sick.

 

Looks good dude! Whees are very loud

 

Too bright for me...

 

loud but ilike it!

 

Me gustaa!!

 

different

 

If the calipers were black it'd be a refreshing but clean setup in my mind.

 

Not my cup of tea but different for sure.

 

No thanks

 

You crazy man. Ugly as hell; more power to ya!

 

Thanks for the comments, + and -. I knew that this was going to be a love it or hate it mod, but I wanted something to make this car stand out from the usual blue/silver coloring. The incoming blue Volk stickers will help the color theme.

Actually I was thinking about candy blue calipers with yellow brembo lettering. I had my rear calipers powdercoated last time, and it was a PITA to get that done.

 

Damn you got the extra scoop of rice instead of the salad, pretty gross

 

man, i would've thought that F-Zero Blue or Midnight Purple was a no brainer...
