Default What to do with my Slips?

I got rid of my 17's the other day bc i was tired of hauling those heavy rims around. So i traded a friend of mine for some slips. Car is thundergrey and what color shall i paint, or how should i do the slips? I know slips are played, but im broke and don't have any cash to buy new rims.



The slips are already black, and i dont like black on thunder grey combo. Doesn't look too appealing.

Any Input is GREATLY appreciated, bc im stumped.

So should I.......

Whatever happened to the real car guys... as in doing whatever the HELL you wanted to do to you car... instead of what other people like.

It's your freakin car... roll with it.

Yeah but then again if you had any power it wouldnt make a difference.

All jokes aside, the meshes looked really good on it and you didnt look like every ebay made Honda.

those were very nice looking rims you traded for the most played out wheel at the moment. Who cares if they are heavier its not a race car.

Anyways, paint the slips any color you want and if you dont like them you can always redo them.

when i say heavy, i mean heavy. They were draggn me down so bad, and it felt like i had a d series or something. I know it isnt a race car, but those rims were like 25lbs a piece or near it. but thanks for the input.
