Rims and colour

[Bender]

]Just got a set of EVO 9 rims few weeks back and they did repainting.

What colour would you think would look best? The car is white

The car

Rims

I was thinking gunmetal grey or maybe blue, Maybe this kind of blue :)

Won't do silver or black and probably not white

Any ideas?????

[Adam.Findlay]

bronze. i think theres a member on here or oz vr4 who has done it before

[Ryan]

My vote would be factory or gun-metal grey and definitely not white.

[Adam.Findlay]

yeah factory silver gets my vote too but i got from his post he doenst want silver or black,

[Gly]

factory silver, bronze, or shadow chrome like the evo x mags.

[Bender]

Yeah i don't like silver as pretty every mags are silver and don't like black, Not fan of chrome. But Bronze is colour I will look at... Or maybe gold.

Cheers guys :)

Do you think at around $100 pre mag to be painted a fair price? That is incl remove all the curbing, sanding and painting the face and inside of mags.

[Adam.Findlay]

i recently paid ~500 to get my evo 6.5 rims reconed and repainted. so 100 per rim is good

[pezza]

I WILLL get a set of these one day, I reckon bronze or gold on your white leggy

I dont like the look of them in gloss black.. spoilt IMO

[Nick Mann]

I've just had a set done in dark metallic grey. I'd love shadow chrome, but it is a tad expensive!

Pix Nick :D did you stick with 235s on them?

[Nick Mann]

Yep, they are currently wearing Toyo Snowprox, 235/45/17. They only went on a week or so ago, I haven't had a chance to get picks yet, but I'll try soon.

[Bender]

Yes photos please Nick...

I'm still at the moment thinking gunmetal grey, Not sure how gold and white would look.

[Echo Whiskey]

Maybe red since you have some red touches around the car already.
Topped with some red striping down te side would look pretty sweet IMO. :)

[Davezj]

did you fit the super stuff to your car of buy it like that. i don't believe they didn't come out of the factory in white as a super. i don't think the side skirts are from a super though.

but i digress from the matter in hand, brozney gold would look nice on a white car but you would have to get rid of all the red bits, wipers, calipers, hubs, etc, i just don't think it would go.

it has been done before with the strip done the side coming up and over the wing but did not go across the bonnet, i have a picture at home, it is on here somewhere i will try and find it.

[Davezj]

sorry the pics in the thread i was thinking about weree link to a imageshack account that is no longer viewable, thats what you get for hosting pictures off site, they are bound to get lost at some point, that is why i downloaded all of them, they are at home. i will upload them when i get in tonight. just repost in the thread later to remind me.

shout pics at me.

I reckon you should get them painted bronze /yes

[Bender]

Ummmm yeah I don't like the bronze on the Galant, maybe more the mags, Legnum look good in bronze. But don't like that crap on side of the cars :D

No the club member I bought the car off, He had put the super kit on the car, Side skirts are factory

Hahaha I like my red bits, Only painted them few months back

Thanks for photos.

[pezza]

the bronze/gold on the white legnum looks nice esp classic BBS LM/split rim style or like these rays which have two extra double spoke to your enkeis

[Bender]

This how the car look with gunmetal grey
59655

[pezza]

loox like a good shade of grey esp with the rim highlight... Am not a fan of when the actual tyres are a lighter shade of grey than the actual wheels themselves...

[mattnz]

I think I might just be weird, but I like black. Anything dark would do though.

I know what you mean. I have to tyre black my tyres to make sure they don't look daft!

Having said that, I haven't here, but I have only just washed the car and the tyres are still a bit wet.

Hope this helps:

Sorta OT, but that looks really nice!

[Nick Mann]

Thanks! Not OT at all, I don't think? The original question is what colour to refurb evo 9 rims - these are my evo 9 rims refurbed in dark metallic grey.

[GregA]

Well then I say gunmetal for sure! With silver being a close second.

[pezza]

Perfection Nick .. good OEM look. That extra inch on the rim with lowered suspension is spot on .. the offset on the rear is bang on...

When the car is loaded do you get any scrub or does camber work out just right?

[Nick Mann]

Nope, no scrub yet at all, either on the 7's or on the 9's. I have only got scrub once on evo wheels, and it was evo 7's with 235/45/17 Falken FK451. That was about 2005!!

Thanks for the compliment, Derek!
