Default alas - its time to decide (photoshopped pics inside! always fun!)

once upon a time, there was a nice pretty prelude. It had some big, shiny, silver wheels on it. (17's)

Time for those rims and my car to go their seperate ways.



SOOOOOO it was decided that it was time to replace them with our friend, the rota wheel. (in 16's).

Now, the hard part is choosing how to change my cars look. Its going to change it A LOT I know, but here is my first attempt at photoshop.


BRONZE SUBZEROS


BLACK SUBZEROS

I know I posted this before, but I figured a little visual aide might help.

I have gunmetal rims, they aren't the same kind of rim as you are looking at, but ill post a pic so you can at least see the color.

It is a low quality pic, and they are a little dirty, but you get the idea.

I agree, or at least don't get sub-zeros, those rims suck IMO.

Bronze. These boys forgot that you will be going faster because you'll be rolling on lighter rims.

go with hyper black or gun metal. I have seen bronze rims on red cars and it puts off this kinda Christmas ornament feeling, like the red cars with white rims...but it's our car so go with what you want and enjoy.

He may have lighter rims if he gets the sub-zeros ( I do realize that) but those rims look like ***.

That prelude looks mean!

- I like the bronze. However I usually favor black/gunmetal.

Don't change...those rims look *** ugly compared to the ones you have now. Stay with 17...don't even change the color of the rims at least. It matches very well, nice and clean.

I like the Silver ones the best.......Why not find some of the lighter rims in the same color? If the weight loss is what you are after.
