So im looking at a new paint job, along with wheels. I have used several of the tire and wheel sites that say "see these wheels on your car" and it just does not do justice. Pretty cheesy as well.

I would like to see what a couple of wheels would look like on my car with 3 different paint colors.

Does anyone know how I can get this accomplished. If I had a picture of the actual car and asked someone to show me what the car would look like in this color with these wheels is there anyone who could do this?

it's an 03 civic ex coupe. Im looking at the emkei FD-05 either machined/gunmetal, or machined/black, or straight black. I'm also looking at the buddy club P1-SF in either the limited edition matte black or gun metal. Either 16" or 17"

The car color will either stay silver, or go to black or have been thinking about what my wife calls "pretty blue"

here are the wheels:

FD-05's

P1-SF's

I don't even know if the Buddy Clubs come in 16's

thanks

ok iv'e decided i'm going with the machined black. now I need to decide which color to paint with those wheels... Blue or black?

I love the idea of painting the car, just remember changing the color of your car takes a lot more work to make it look good. If you are doing it yourself, I'm sure you know. I've seen people change the color of their cars and leave out the door jams, anything showing on the interior of the door, under the hood, and in the trunk. Take the time and do it right, or leave it the same color.

Sweet looking wheels though. I might have to put those in consideration if I decide to swap mine out. I have a 2006 EX Coupe in Atomic Blue. Would love to see pics when you are done. Where are you getting the wheels for and how much?

quick job changing the color of my car to kinda match that one

That looks like Fiji Blue. Sexy colour.


I'd go with black though. I've always had a thing for black cars.

So with these wheels on this car - see profile - with this front end and this color blue? the wheels will be here tom or fri.

keep in mind that I will be getting tint, removing the sunroof shiels, blackening out the head and tails. debating on keeping the wing. but first thing is to get front end put on and get paint.

I just kinda eye'd it.. didn't really match the color, but it seemed close enough to get the idea.

here's a 2am chop of those rims

I don't think I can pull of chopping the kit on.. lol

bl0ggy06

so that's my car, that color with those wheels? what would black look like? or silver? seems like that color would do better with chrome or machined wheels. what do you think?

bl0ggy06

Rice - what color you got?

bl0ggy06

my bad.. yours is the dark blue sry

bl0ggy06

I finally got a pic. Here is what I'm working with


Rice can you do it in blue, black and silver with the wheels. THanks for what you've done so far.

bl0ggy06

man.. changing those colors was harder than I thought.. Black is hella hard to make look good

and again, I don't think I can pull off the bumper..

edit: meh.. that blue is hella off.. bah..

bl0ggy06
