larryo108 Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I have recently bought some 18" Pegasus wheels. They are bright silver. I am debating on leaving them silver or painting them black to match the car. Please give me your input. Here is a photochop someone did for me of my car with silver wheels. Someone feel free to make them black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmetz Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 how bout somewhere in the middle... anthracite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryo108 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I had thought about that. However, my ultimate goal is to go big brakes and CF hood, lip, mirrors, and roof spoiler. I am thinking I would like to have everything one color and then the CF. Not a huge fan of a lot of different colors. Does that make sense?Also please reply in this thread which includes a poll. I accidentally created a topic instead of a poll on this one. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Tuning 850 Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Well with black they will look smaller then they really are. However it will give it more of a sleeper appeal, which I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappo Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I am going to vote anthracite also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryo108 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 CJ's 855 is exactly started this whole debate for me. If was not planning to do all of the CF I would definitely paint them Anthracite. However, since I do plan for CF in the future. It will be Silver or Black.I know the Black will make them look smaller, but not really a concern for me. I iwll know they are 18's and they will perform like 18's. That is all I am concerned with. I am kind of interested to know why some say that 18's handle worse than 17's. Very curious. It doesn't quite make sense in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to dissuede you, just telling my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniman342 Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 also, here is a pretty bad one with black rims: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryo108 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Thanks miniman. Here is CJ's. I can't find the iPd garage sale pics. Some really nice pics of CJ's car in there.Kevin, I plan to put big brakes in the future. CJs kit in fact. So I think that should help with the bigger wheels. I know the braking is going to be different from what it is now with the 16's. Anyways. Don't worry about disuading me. Too late now, I already have the wheels.Thanks for all of the input. Keep it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
