    New Paint & Rims

    Sup guys, long time no hear. lol

    Anyways, I'm saving my money up to get my car painted
    and to get these rims a buddy of mine just got in for his tire shop.

    I need yall's opinion on what color you think i should get it painted.
    I have a 96 LX. The rims Im getting are 17" Gunmetal. I forget the name
    Ill post a pic when I can.

    The colors Ive thought of so far are Maroon(color now), white, black, or
    Black Cherry. Please gimme yall's opinions plz.

    hmmm...white is too light with gunmetal, black and black cherry are too dark, I think of all the colors listed maroon will prolly look the best. I am also in the process of painting, i and doing the mazdaspeed protege orange with a yellow metallic, and gunmental/polished aluminum wheels.

      I would stay close or slightly darker than the stock color, that way the door jams and under hood will match up somewhat.

        paint the door jams at least if you do it.... under the hood would be nice if you can but it is expensive i guess...

            yeah white can get away with gunmetal if you don't have any wheelgap.
            that's when it looks sick.

              Looks like Im going with white then. Then I'll purchase the coil-overs.
              Thanks for the advice guys.

                I've come to the conclusion that I'm
                painting my car orange. The rims... I'm still
                debating. Either gunmetal, white with chrome lip or
                black with chrome lip. I'll post pics of the orange I want.
                I think there's a hawaiin chick that already has a orange pro.
                Thats the color i want.
