Thread: Need different wheels

Here is the deal, I just bought a 00 gt three months ago. It is a white 2-door with white painted rims (They are the large 5-spoke alloy type.) I do not like the way the wheels look at all. But due to the fact that I am in college, buying a new set of aftermarkets is out of the question. So what can I do to these wheels? Would I be able to strip them and polish and clear coat them? or repaint them a different color (black)? I just don't know what would look good, all I know is that white on white don't look good in my eyes. I work in a shop so dismounting the wheels is no big deal, and my father in law does body work, so he could help with the actual paint/clear coat part of the job.

So are these white wheels something that some people want or is it just one of those things u don't see a lot of?

You'd have to prove this with pics...

Im gonna have to agree with sheep dog... I cant imagine a black car with white wheels looking anywhere near good.

Looks a lot better then black on black.. that's getting kinda boring..

Yeah, okay. Looks better than I thought.

Call me a lame-o or whatever but I still think chrome/polished looks the best on black... then black with polished lip.

ive always wanted a a white on white grand prix but couldnt ever find one

Yeah ok it doesnt look bad haha, I think it just depends on the car. Some just dont work that I've seen online. I wonder what goes through some peoples heads....
