I'm not trying to be mean. I just think it conflicts with everything. It looks like a mint green color. Doesn't really flow with the rest of the car imo. Maybe if the wheel lips were a matching mint color...

I like it because it pops out but he does have a point. It's just alone. maybe you can find somewhere else to use the color too.

I see what he's saying.. the color stands alone, needs to be tied together to something on the car... Destroyer has the right idea(with the matching rims) maybe just throw a similar stripe on your wheels... or lug nuts close to that color.. I would do the valve cover as well in the same color.

Another thing that just came to me. It does stand out, but the car looks very stock, so subconsciously I think I associate it with a stock civic with a big alumuminum wing. I'm not calling your car ricey or anything when I say that. Just that it's out of place. I think a white stripe would have made it look nice. Even though other people may have the white stripe, it looks good.

Yeah, I'm not taking any offense. I asked for your opinion, and I appreciate the honesty. Well my car's definitely in the process of being modified, and it does look very stock right now. I get suspension next week, and so hopefully it'll look a little better. When I first saw the stripe on there, I thought it looked kind of ricey, but it is what it is for now. I plan on putting more color around the car that matches the stripe for sure. I might even put a white stripe on for now (or none at all), and just put the teal stripe back on when I get more pieces that match that color. After all, I do have a giant roll of teal tape. I just wanted to get an idea of what that color would look like on my car.

This ish is dope. I'm pretty sure you actually just convinced me to paint the lips teal. My boyfriend had suggested it, but I wasn't sure whether to go with it or not. It looks good dropped too. Thanks for shopping that. you rock.


B16CRXT, what do you think? ? ?

The silver one sold his rims and then again he did the color wrong too. When he refinished it they came out more blue then teal like they are supposed to be.

but they did look pretty baller on his car. When I first saw the pictures I nearly **** and I don't do that much over cars

Wow, that **** looks good. Thanks bro. You helped prove my point. I think I'm gunna get her a few cans of this.

It's model paint so the cans are kinda small but it's the best color match I could find.

We're thinking of throwing a mirror polish on the faces before we paint the lips. The estimate for polishing is like 5-6 hrs a rim so if we both do it, it'll be a lot less strenuous.

I actually like it a lot better! With the photochop drop, it looks ****!

I think if you could polish the face of the wheels, it would also look 100X better!

That looks a little on the green side. Tamiya makes a decent teal, its what I used on the hubrings here...

I like that color a lot more. Now that I see it on a bigger screen, I can see how much better the Tamiya matches. Thanks.
