Wheels

Might get some hate from this, but it's just a little "I wonder how they would look" I didn't mind the chrome of the wheels, but I do like the white better, and the chrome is protected for when I get tired of the white. Yes it is plasti dip. Not sure if this is the right section to post this? I apologize if it isn't. Have a good day guys.

Thank you. I think it looks sharp as well. I tried to find pictures of black c5's with white wheels, but I didn't find any, that's why I went with it haha.

Not a big fan. When I think of white wheels I think of the $19.99 white painted steel wheels guys put on old pickup trucks.

I think it looks great!

A lot of people on in C5 Gen have a hard time swallowing the idea of a white wheel, there was a thread a while back about someone that basically put that exact same wheel on a TR C5Z. Caused quite a ruckus.

Before the growth in popularity of plastic dip, a very creative friend (^^^^^) helped me with this photoshop of my thinspokes in speedway white (among the other styling add-ons) so I could explore that styling direction, too.

I was thinking about the same thing jptgs1 haha. But I like the finished product. It does look a lot better in person though, and my phone blows as well. That looks pretty good.

Like you said it's peelable! But then so is the paint on those $19.99 specials!

One uncovers, rust, the other, chrome!!

I was thinking the same. Black wheels remind me of the nasty crusty wheels you put on for winter. Then you put your nice aluminum wheels on for summer.
