View Full Version : paint the wheels goldish?
angrypancake 09-05-2006, 11:37 PM I had my m-pars photoshopped a few times, cause one is bent and theyre getting straightened and refinished. I have the option to go black, gunmetal, or whatever I want. I kinda like this: What do you guys think?

or gunmetal

other options are open, feel free to throw them in
atl530i 09-05-2006, 11:44 PM Gunmetal. That is not a WRX :) Not to be hating on the WRX people. That is just me though. I plan on getting black wheels with a polished lip.
MMmmmpower 09-05-2006, 11:53 PM I kinda like the gold ones just cuz of the WOW factor when you first see them, but being kinda of conservative I would go with the gunmetal
e34werkz 09-05-2006, 11:57 PM Gunmetal looks good, actually they both look good.

atl530i 09-06-2006, 12:04 AM Personally, I like the purple :)
That red though looks great
ronin009 09-06-2006, 12:06 AM Do the gold! Thats hot!
BimmerMeUp 09-06-2006, 12:08 AM The red anodized look is sort of interesting.
Waaay back in the late seventies I had a pickup with chrome rims. I painted the spokes with a candy apple red color that sort of looked like your photoshoped red rims. So I kinda am partial to this look.
Boogieboy 09-06-2006, 12:24 AM I have always been a fan of gold colored rims depending on the color of the car.........I do however like the red ones as well ( maybe i'm a little biased) Nice car:alright

jfranke 09-06-2006, 12:53 AM I would say the Gold! they actually look really good. the Black would be my second choice.
Termist 09-06-2006, 12:55 AM Gold on red looks hot. But so does the silver.
5mall5nail5 09-06-2006, 01:02 AM Red rims? Cars dont have menstruation cycles.

Isn't it red on gold??
Termist 09-06-2006, 01:09 AM Isn't it red on gold??
Gold on top of red. Red is dominant. If you're referring to color.
But the red is on top of the gold, in terms of the car is on top of the wheels.

i officially hate your sig pic.
atl530i 09-06-2006, 01:12 AM I thought I was as I do the same thing a lot.

angrypancake 09-06-2006, 01:13 AM Isn't it red on gold??
dude no way its gold rims on red car therefore gold on red?
atl530i 09-06-2006, 01:14 AM dude no way its gold rims on red car therefore gold on red?
I guess it depends on the person then. Everyone words things differently I guess :)
323I Junkie 09-06-2006, 07:55 AM every color looks disgusting.
go chrome or aluminum
Mr Project 09-06-2006, 09:25 AM I normally hate gold rims, but on the red car with the yellow lights, it actually looks kinda neat.
angrypancake 09-06-2006, 10:04 AM gunmetal lip, powdercoated black parallels, anodized red bolts, carbon fiber/red roundels

Verbatim 09-06-2006, 10:17 AM I normally hate gold rims, but on the red car with the yellow lights, it actually looks kinda neat.
+1... With the french lights, the gold goes well, and I think it balances well...

Yes. Is your car hideous in every picture?
btw AngryPancake - you cannot anodize steel bolts.
shragon 09-06-2006, 12:37 PM the gold actually kinda looks good. the gunmetal is nice too. i'm surprised as i didn't think painted centers would look good on mp's.
Boogieboy 09-06-2006, 12:47 PM Yes. Is your car hideous in every picture?

Well now i know why you only had a pic of your engine in your sig......because its the only thing interesting about your car.:lol And FTW i think your an idiot for sacrificing your AC for your Turbo on your daily driver. Tell your mom to buy you another beater. :rolleyes
nixter 09-06-2006, 12:53 PM Try one all black.

So wait what were you saying?
Quagmire 09-06-2006, 01:13 PM heh, someone just got shutdown. anyway, back to th thread. i just got mine straightened and refinished and i decided to go with graphite. i'm going for the blacked look on my car, but wanted a little contrast on the wheels...couldn't be happier

I was saying that your carpet on the inside is a little ghetto:lol And dont flatter yourself "a full page feature" i dont think so....i could send you a few pics of some E34's that look just like yours....at least i'm original......and your moms on my friends list:alright

hahah carpet -
thats fucking alcantara suede you idiot. Haha guys my carpet is ghetto WTF go smash your head on a dance floor or whatever it is that you do.
Yeah find me a few E34s resprayed custom color with a big turbo and FMIC on standalone ECU with a molded car pc in the dash...
hahah carpet.
Also its not a "full page feature" Its a FOUR page feature in Performance BMW - look for it in about Feb/March ;) Loser.
There are a ton of original E34s - like the one with the E39 hood and headlights which looks HIDEOUS and the ones with the E36 conversion kits... but uh, that doesn't make them any nicer. Sure your car is original because no one else in their right mind would put that ricey bumper on and paint their rims red.
I normally hate gold rims, but on the red car with the yellow lights, it actually looks kinda neat.
I definitely agree..
BUT really, I've thought about doing the same to my Mpars.. but here's the dilemma..
1. there is no real definition between the lip and the spokes.. unlike 2/3 piece wheels.... So where would you make the separation between the 2 colors?
2. Mpars are undoubtedly one of the classiest wheels for the e34.. so when you paint the centers, or even the whole wheel, you kinda take away the design of them (probably applies most to darker colors.)..
TinmanF1 09-06-2006, 01:24 PM okok, chill both y'all. boogieboy, you're right, your car is original. but did you ever wonder why the majority of people do the same mods? IT'S BECAUSE THEY LOOK GOOD. your car's original, but then again, it's also something I'd feel embarrassed to be in, let alone drive.
and jon, your car isn't the most interesting or original on the outside, but that's a good thing. it's classic, and that's what's important. . . plus, it's fast as shit.
boogie, what do you car about what his car looks like? you'll only see the tail from a distance if you ever cross paths, so don't worry about it!
btw, big-baller. . . you should get your house done in that 'carpet'. it's not expensive or anything. . .

fkong777 09-06-2006, 01:29 PM Leave it alone. save the money and get 9 inch rears.. Stagger will have a better effect than paint for M-pars IMO.
nixter 09-06-2006, 01:47 PM Now now you two! :)
Opinions should be respectfull. Personally I think the suede does look "ghetto" and the newer steering wheel doesn't work but that's purely my opinion. I do like your wheels though and you've kept the outside of your car quite tastefull, IMHO. If we all thought the same way all our cars would look the same and that would be boring.
Boogieboy, your car looks dope btw.

L8Honestly this goes back to another thread i started before.....this little kid "urinemachine" has no respect for anyone!!! It wouldnt have mattered if he said he didnt like it , i can understand my car is not for everyone and i dont think im better than anyone else. But he is completely rude with every remark , it's not constructive at all....i treat people the way they treat me....and honestly i dont think he would ever say it to my face because i promise you he would be eating his dinner through a straw for the next few months after that!!!!!
With that being said i will be the bigger man and let it go. But just so you know "urinemachine" i'm out in your area alot so if you ever slip up and go out to a meet THEN WE WILL SEE HOW MUCH SHIT YOU TALK!!!! And FTW its not hard to find people through these forums so keep that in mind next time you want to be rude.
Boogieboy 09-06-2006, 02:30 PM And sorry to ruin your thread "AngryPancake"

Sounds like a threat to me :shifty: Good way to go away forever.
Also, FWIW, its FWIW, not "For the Win"
Antrieb 09-06-2006, 04:03 PM I like it silver :dunno

You just made a verbal threat on a forum. Peace out.
What, you're going to kick my ass because I don't like your red ugly wheels? And I don't respect people? No, I do - ask anyone here I've asked for their help, a lot of people (angrypancake specifically) has asked for mine, etc. The point is - you started a thread called "Check out my car" I checked it out, it has a ricey bumper and red wheels I don't like it. You asked for input, I gave it. So either sit down and deal with the fact that your car is not on my menu, or ignore my posts. I've said positive things about tons of shit on this forum, christ I have over 3,000 posts. You don't know me, and I don't know you, but what I do know is that you attempt to insult me saying my mother purchased my car (what is this, high school?) and then verbally assault me on a forum. I don't act big and tough B-Boy, it's a forum, get over it. If someone said my car is ugly thats fine. You brought my car up, i dished out pictures, and the only thing you could say was "your carpet looks ghetto" - ok well let the italians and BMW know that alcantara trim is ghetto because I don't give a crap - I posted it, you don't like, I don't care.
I'd advise you not threaten people on a forum. Should I have any issue with my car or person in the near future I have this thread to look back on.
Oh and by the way, come to a meet in person I still talk shit. If your car is ugly be prepared to hear it - most people can cope with criticism. Have you ever been to a meet? Do you hug everyone? Didn't think so - do you threaten them? That may be.
MMmmmpower 09-06-2006, 04:18 PM I had a feeling it might come to this between you two! I dont know why we cant get along, we all share the same passion in the e34 so NO MORE FIGHTING!

Whats the big deal - if you read how it started the kid asked about wheel color, BoogBoy says red I said no red and then he starts talking shit.
MMmmmpower 09-06-2006, 04:28 PM I know its not really that big of a deal, but we should all be able to agree on disagreeing and not make threats
angrypancake 09-06-2006, 04:30 PM I like it silver :dunno
BTW Nat the seats started working about an hour after you left :rofl
Dude are you serious? Ughhhh..... it was the worst drive ever too, I got ~7 miles from home and there was a massive accident. What time did I leave, around 9ish? Got home at 1am. Awesome.
angrypancake 09-06-2006, 04:33 PM And Jon and Boogieboy.... This shit doesn't need to be happening. I read the other thread where this carried over from. It doesn't involve me so I don't really care. It's just a forum and nothing more. Words can be exchanged, but it will only be words, and from behind a screen. Who cares if one person doesn't like another's front bumper, or red wheels, or whatever. I didn't really take offense to the "cars menstruating cycle" comment, but I can see how it could be constued as a dick thing to say. Oh well I ahve to go to class. Thanks guys for the imput.
