The lights look good cause it bleds with the window tint imo. Its gonna look even better lowered :P keep it up!

hey guys & gals, im thinking of getting some rims soon (prob after 17's). Seeing as my car is a darker type colour i think black rims would suit it better than chrome rims.

below are images off the photoshop thread.. courtesy of Stressball What do people think would suit my car better?
any help would be appreciated. if people have other suggestions i would be open to them also

cheers in advance

ooo those grills look familar hey phil car looks awsome tho u should post pics in the threads i nearly didnt even see there was a link 2 pics hahaha

dam tough choice on rims u got there i think the destino authorities only coz they r somthing different but i dont mind the anz velvets i think they would suit ur colour nice 2

[pip78]

yeh good looking grills hey im not sure how to post the pics in the thread cos when i go post reply & try to add images.....it just says enter link to url.

dunno what im doin wrong

[LightningVP]

yeh something like that lightning lol would be a good idea, 1 for each day of the week, but would be damn expensive, but unique at the same time

[pip78]

went into ian diffen 2day to enquire about the destino rims. they only come in either 20' or 22" bit more than i wanted to get. im only after 17/18" (all i can afford) so ill have to keep looking......

anyhow i picked this up 2day. probably gonna install it on the weekend. the photos dont quite do it justice....its a nice deep black....... the only prob is, is im not sure what other colour to eventually paint the rest of my dash/centre console etc.....(ie glove box, centre console etc) i was thinking of going silver. what do other ppl think?

attached is a pic of my dash (standard) any info/opinions would be noted and appreciated.....cheers Phil
