finally got rid of my stock body kit 2.0

[BigRand]

Note to mods: I posted this in the hang out as well, but I wanted to get a concensus from the NT and 420a crowd. If you feel the need to close it go right ahead.


I finally got rid of my body kit that was all cracked up, and went w/ the stock look.

Plus I had the whole car painted stock white w/ an escalade pearl.

I'm not sure how much of the pearl you can actually see.

I'm looking for rims to better match, any suggestions?

I'm thinking of a 18x7.5 or 18x8, or 17x7.5 or 17x8 for the wheel

and 235/35-17, 235/40/-17, 235/35-18, 235/40-18.


I'm looking for suggestions on rim choice, sizing, and tire choice and sizing.

I'll leave it open for now, but it'll be moved once the Appearance/Exterior forum comes back.

I like the way your car looks now along with the rims but that may just be me. 18's with a 7 spoke I think look good always but the sizes of tires I dont know too much about so I cant throw my input in on that one.

I think it looks good the way it is, but if you don't care much for ride comfort go with the 18" wheel + 235/35.

You know what would look HOT on that car? The old Axis Se7ens. If you could score a set of those...mhmm, mhm.

Looks very clean and I like it better with the stock look.

Good choice,

Andy

NO CHROME IMO i think black or gunmetal would look AWESOME on your white car
i seen a pearl 'lade the other day with black 24's good combo

I gotta tell you 'Rand, I'm big time old school chrome guy, but I would NOT put chrome on that car. Gunmetal/Black etc.

I like the look of the 18x7.5's with 40's and I am lowered 1.8 inches. No problems.

<----- see my wheels in my avatar. They make them in black with a polished staggered fittment lip. that would be sexy . I wish i would have went with the black ones but its too late now.

 

[bullettdsm]

^^^ Naw, the chrome looks better on red!

I think you should definately throw on some 18x7.5 or 18x8 bronze volk te37 s. That would look hella dank on white

Just took some video clips and put them together so you guys can see the color for real.

1st one is low quality but will load faster

2nd one is high quality but probably will load a little slower.

The whole video is about 1:30secs so it shouldn't take too long at all. Very simple stuff.

Let me know what you think.

. you could have at least done a burnout or a powerslide in that parking lot for a finale. just kidding man the color is nice, very nice. Just a suggestion, ever think about shootin some candy black on those tails and smoking them. I did mine I could get you a picture if you want of mine at day and night, its pretty crazy how they look completely black , but light shines right through them at night. Nice car man!

, that was my painter taking off my side skirt end caps to re shoot them, WE took off my hood to reshoot it as well (water droplets). Don't get it twisted.
