Dnk Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Personally don't like black wheels and polished rims, for me it would look much better with the complete wheel black including the rims. Nah that look doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) That's the thing I don't like. I need seperation. Black wheels seem to look industrial and tacky to me (no offence to black wheel lovers). But if they are seperated by a polished rim, they look a hell of a lot cleaner in my opinion. I'm thinking perhaps a gunmetal wheel would be better. I prefer gunmetal to black. Totally agree apart from the Tacky bit Also if the calipers are Brembo or AP etc then red is fine, if there O/E they should be black and painting them any other colour is simply cheap and tacky Edited August 3, 2010 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 I would get red calipers, end of. I've got my stock calipers and they are being painted black this weekend. The red calipers/red painted aftermarket calipers would come when I fit uk-spec brakes. I'm not even sure if uk spec brakes will fit with these wheels.

RobD Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) download it from a torrent for free or practise a little with this useful tool: http://www.pixlr.com/editor/ in regards to the car, second picture looks good. great rid of those jap headlights! Thanks for that mate. Here you go fella, a lovely smooth supra lol. That looks so good! I've got another bumper coming soon with the headlight washer on, think I may go for that look! May leave my uk bonnet on though but might upset the look! Edited August 3, 2010 by RobD (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May leave my uk bonnet on though but might upset the look! Main thing that makes it look so smooth is that I blended the bumper into the wing.

jackso11 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 You need to photoshop a bit more. Get a body kit on there, TRD spoiler, an extra inch on those wheels, nicer bonnet. Make it look real mean....its a black car, thats what you are supposed to do with black cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it look real mean....its a black car, thats what you are supposed to do with black cars I'm keeping it stock for the moment mate. I don't think I'm ever going to put a body kit on. As for a TRD spoiler, maybe, but not yet. An active spoiler or an RMM lip is a possibility. To be honest, I need to sort out my paintwork badly first. I shall be putting a sign on my car at SupraPod for an SOS paintwork job. Black with polished rim's the way to go man. Does look good doesn't it.
