Wow, those look really cool. I have always liked dark wheels, and the black centers look sharp. What kind of wheels are they?

I can't say it enough but your car is my all time favorite, a lot of people like mcdonalds car the best but I think yours looks way better, the wheels are just awesome as is the rest, I like that you didn't go for the subtle look, those wheels are outrageous and I love it and the yellow tops it off...somehow it all comes together beautifully. I especially like that you have white letter tires (did you paint those yourself?)

I can't see skeptic's pics.

I like the grey best in those pics.

I think it would be cool to plate them to look like a Black Beauty Snare drum.


I don't know what would be required to do that. I have thought about doing it to the centers of my boring old TTIIs

I'm running my server on port 8080 which might be the problem. I'd put them somewhere else, maybe my other web pages that are running on port 80, but Twin_Turbo posted some chops that pretty much show the same thing.

BTW, for my Celica I ordered a set of Centerline Ventura's, which I plan to have painted or powerdercoated black.... I also did the photochop thing on them. A very similar type of wheel since some of you seem interested:

Gimp'd black -

Dang, another reply from me...

Honestly, I think an all black wheel looks best on a yellow car. I know it already has other chrome to compliment it, but I just like solid black wheels with black lettering on a yellow car.

thanx for the positive comments guys....I think I like the gray best myself.

If I get a gray epoxy primer with some extra black tinit I can get the color I like.

Its modeled after some of the Heinz L88 race car front spoilers....it works pretty well...cooling is exceptional , car runs much cooler. The ducts will run to the front brakes.
