figured that since i got the last part i needed today i would throw up a sneak peek at what i've been working on this summer.

5-lug swap and XG BBK with some of my fav OEM rims



now what its looking like is gonna happen is i'm going to have just pick up some rims/used tires because winter is coming up then i'm going to get some really nice tires in the spring time so i can get a summer set of tires and not worry about tearing them up over the Ohio winter.

but in the mean time i'm going to be trying to figure out which color gold/bronze to paint my new rims

so here is the wheel on its own


and here are the colors i'm thinking

Gold1

Gold2

Gold3

Bronze1

Bronze2



im leaning heavy on either gold1 or gold 2

 

i voted bronze, but if i had a choice it would be none of those.

i think a goldish bronze would look best, or a dark gold.

like a more gold bronze 1.

VERY interested to see how this project comes together, and looking forward to seeing it done.

 

i want to also get some spacers for the back of my car where my turby sides are, they make my wheels look even weirder then normal

here is a current pic of the car so you know the color

 

i voted for gold 1...cant wait to see how it turns out

were did you get the rims from by chance just curious

 

here is kinda what i was talking about .. maybe a lil more gold.

 

I like gold 1 as well. I was actually thinking of getting some gold rims similar in color to the older Subaru 2.5rs wheels.

 

socks i definatly like that gold you posted do you know whats the code/formula for that??

 

lol made it up.. you could show it to someone and they could come up with something though.

or ya could print it out and go look at colors.

 

true but first thing is first, tommarow after work i gotta go get the winter rims/tires which are some kind of motegi. i saw them and didnt really think i was gonna buy em so i didn't remember them that well

 

UPDATE!!!

here are the winter wheels i bought yesterday.



but the neogens on there are so nice i'm going to pull those off and put them on my XG rims and then just put some cheap used tires on the konigs for winter riding. and i'm sure i can get a used set for like 60-75 bucks with some good life on em.
