Wheels Make the Car

Hahaha! Im starting to look at those gloss black 6.5 inchers, they are quite sexy. You think the performance and look difference between the 6.5 and 7.5 are significant? All the monzas look good period.

you know, i am not really qualified to make that distinction. i guess i kind of gave in to a little cognitive dissonance, and went with the wider gunmetal 7.5s instead of the gloss black narrower 6.5s. i mean, i really had my eye on the gloss black for the white car, but ended up doing what a backward-white-baseball-cap-wearing civic driver would have prolly done.

Haha! hey dont be hating on those rice burners. Since im doing the red with black contrast, the center caps on the glossy black are red and black, and the wheels are a really good black so i dont know which ones contrast better. I love the white and black scheme too though!

no hating here. just uh...laughing with...?

can't guide you any further there. that would be tricky, picking the best color. i could see light or dark wheels going nicely. if you have photoshop or anything similar, you might want to try a mockup, to get an idea how the different colors will go together.

I gotta worry about getting it painted before i even go there im definantly sold on the monzas though. I came across some enkeis a dude had for his 80 124. They were super sharp. Didnt lookd near as good as the monzas though 1

I had to post some pictures ! Just received my new Rota gunmetal wheels from Mark Allison. 15x7". I put on Yokohama S-drive 205/50-15 tires. I think it looks great. Next will be mounting a rear swaybar this weekend

whoa. very cool. same setup i went with. did you immediately feel more confident, even in mundane city corners? i was so surprised how big the difference is. jealous of the sway bar. getting the fiat 500 brake kit and new a-arms and springs installed tomorrow. hope to do sway bars soon...

your car looks great.
