Rim colour choice--- NEED HELP!!!

94pgt94 · March 2nd, 2009, 06:00 PM

ok so the probe isnt gonig on the road this summer, its going to go through a much needed make over.. so im driving my 98 hatch back this summer. and obviously it cant be driven stock.. so i bought it like this for 1100.00:

i put a full stereo in it and got the windows tinted.. new headlight bulbs. little stuff like that and got this :

i then got some coil overs, and nightshaded the tails (dont have a pic of the tails done). i was going to buy some cheap 16s and tires which i really dont have the money for (trying to build the car and pay for college) .. so when i was working on the car at my buddies place he busted out these 15inch escort gt wheels with brand new tires that he used to have on his tercel. i gave him 100.00 and they are mine. so now they clearly need a colour change.. but heres where im at(plus the dark tails):

and heres a few colour photoshops.. but im open to opinions.. takata green, red, blakc with red lip, black with polished lip, gunmetal, gold bronze! throw some ideas out there, or even do some photoshops if you want!

keep in mind.. this is a one summer temperary car.. i think its coming along ok.. but im open to opnions!

ah I would go with like a really anodized purple look, or possibly a high metallic purple.

MakatoMotors · March 2nd, 2009, 06:15 PM

i like the light blue color

its something diff

phatgt4me · March 2nd, 2009, 06:16 PM

dont take it personal man...you just see some many cars out there that are going to look just like yours... I def. wouldnt do the red or green. I'd say either bronze or gunmetal. i'd do either all bronze or all gunmetal no silver lips. Obviously the bronze is going to make a bigger statement because your car is black. If you had like a white car, red....i'd say gunmetal

im confused...did you just by that red PGT or is that the car you've owned? That thing is sick!

94pgt94 · March 2nd, 2009, 06:20 PM

thanks guys..im not into purple..and the baby blue rims are chippedand scratched.. need some work... so if im repainting them, def not the baby blue.. had them on for a colour ddays that way and im not happy with it.. . im leaning towards bronze because i have bronze paint already.. .. i dont see it being green.. keep throwing ideas out there... and no offense taken that there are lotsa cars like this.. i agree.. civic isnt my thing.. but i got a 98 for 1100.. the way it sits there ive got 2500.00 into it.. so i cant really complain.. and even with 266,000kms its amazing on gas.. very reliable and passed etest like a dream!!! .. sorry to go off topic. keep the opinions coming!

thanks for the pic! looks good in that combo

norweja96 · March 3rd, 2009, 12:53 AM

if i have to chose id say gold/bronze but honestly there are so many civics running around where i live with bronze/red wheels its just kinda boring...

94pgt94 · March 3rd, 2009, 04:21 AM

in reality its a civic that is boring.. not the wheels colour.. just too common.. but it is what it is.. i tried to sell it.. and i was going to buy an mx6 for the summer. but no one around here is really buying anything right now lol

visionGT9506 · March 3rd, 2009, 05:58 AM

MakatoMotors · March 3rd, 2009, 06:19 AM

If you were around me, you wouldnt have to wait too long before someone would buy it.

And I dont find my civic boring, If I was like most people, and had to see the tail lights of it, all the time, it would get boring
