    If you think that looks like an "asshat" WRX, sir... nvm I'm gonna shut my mouth before I say something i'll get banned for.

      i'm personally not a big fan of the rex gold rally rim scheme either (and i love subaru's), but i think the point bibber is trying to get across is that fbodies are not rally cars, and the color scheme and accents wont be pulled together by gold rims. but it's your ride man, do what makes you happy.

      can you give us a few pics of the car to see what color scheme and accents would work best?

          i mean, it can work, but he's going to need a heavy dose of gold else where for it to be pulled off. otherwise it'll look like a wrx with the super cool gold wheels that dont fit into its color scheme.

          and btw, i like scoobs but i cant stand that color combo.

            Gold rims = Ricers and low riders with 100 spokes with spinners , you stop but they keep going and going and going. LOL Or do you like GGOOOOLLLLLLLLDDDDDD. A little Austin Powers.

              those look sweet actually. either go with gold or hyper silver IMO.

              what do you guys think about putting those gold rims on a black camaro.. with tint.. blacked out tails.... black billet grille..

                no way man. unless you're going with blackout rims with a polished lip or hypersilver, go chrome or go home.

                  even new zr1's wont pull off ('shopped in)

                  much better:
                  sweet murdered out 4th gen with c5 z06's

                  slick ss with 5spoke blackout center polished lip

                  ls1 hypersilver zr1's with a black billet

                  chrome ss rims

                  getting the idea here? haha

                    If you wanna get an idea of how it might look, get a side shot of your car, and photo shop the rims into the picture. It's simple and free. Personally, I think it could look great if done right. But the rims your looking at have too much surface area IMO. No comparison to the fine spokes on the Ferrari rims. Having the highly visible huge, slotted/drilled rotors, and painted calipers are part of what makes it work.

                      I should paint my car black and get chrome? :poke: :p
                      I'm not arguing if chrome looks good or not... It's just that chrome has already been played out so much. I wanna go for something different, but do it tastefully. I wanted to see if I could make someone look at my car and say, "oh wow, gold rims done right" and not "meh, chrome rims... unoriginal but looks good".

                      Ok ok... I need to get some pics of my car... I keep waiting for a pretty day to come along to get pics but everytime one does, I can only think "ooo! Sunny weather! Gotta go cruisin'!" :p Sun is down now, so I'll do my best to remember to take some pics tomorrow.
