Id love to do coupe 19s but I can paint my rims for free thats the main reason I would do the black wheels. I dont think I like the look of a color matched wheel on a Coupe 19 though..

Im trying to spend very little on mods this year, Im trying to spend my time instead.

Well the nice thing about painting them yourself, is you're not out much $, so if you decide the black is just not right, you can always repaint them.

You're coming back around to this idea/theme again huh Steve. If you go for it, I'd do the window trim in gloss black with a matching roof. If you do the wheels, do them to match the grille. It will change the look of the car...more aggressive. Maybe do the trim and roof first, then decide on the wheels?

Yup I put it on hold last spring when I finished the color change. When I started to pull out the headliner out I felt like I needed to tie up some loose ends on the entire car. The paint is falling off the rims and they def need to be addressed.

I feel like once I do the black roof and trim ill be locked into that theme and I will have to do black wheels. Sometimes its hard with my color because I cant see what rim colors go with it cause there are only a couple brown cars on the site. And its obvious I need help with photoshop lol.

If I wasn't so anti fake wheels id get some Rota TE37's and imo that would complete that aggressive look.

I agree with G Sedan, the bronze will look better than black on your car. Maybe even look at a gunmetal gray....

That would really depend on how good you are with a rattle can.

You could always do it just to see. That way if you change your mind, no big deal. Once you settle on a color, have them powdercoated.
