:thumbsdow BIG no no

What exactly is Candy Blue? Haha.

A candy color can be any color, not just candy apple red. The term comes from a candy apple though. You apply a base coat (darker base coats give you more "depth" to the paint) and then the candy coat over it. It is basically a transparent paint, kinda like a clear coat with pigment if that makes sense. It is just a different effect that people like. I personally like a nice silver metallic paint with just about any color candy coat on it. It looks nice!

I actually like that, but with any non-conventional color like green, purple, blue, you almost HAVE to have the right car to pull it off. With the accord, I would have to say go with bronze IMO, or flat black, no gloss black. You could do a black base coat and then put a single coat of a candy color to give it a little colored hue. Just a thought.

I would get bronze/gold. Stock 18's would look good with that color, and it would look hot on a white coupe.

I'm telling you, do something funky! Go with something off the wall, funk the way it looks. Just do something that you know no one else has heh. I'd do something like that with my OEM's if I had the money.

Voted purple for potential hilarity

his car being lowered the right way on tiens as it is could SO pull it off...

if my car was white again this isthe only way i'd go.

but then again i'm in FL and dont hve to deal with "winter wheels" :jumping:

i really wana try and pull off the purple. I think i could being that im slammed lol. The bronze would be hot though. I already know i like them black if all else fails.

lol damn i was really hoping u'd try green anyway since u dont like the idea i'll pacify myself by posting more with em'

^All of those cars look dead sexy with the green wheels, but the TSX looks outta place IMO

:yes:

Green!!

Black is the safe choice, but I would go with gun metal and then bronze as 2nd if u want something a bit different. green, blue , purple NOOO looks cheap

yea go with the bronze

hahha nice Green is the way to go

Grrreeeeeeeeenn!

(or candy blue heh)

A day or so ago, I saw a late '90s white Integra coupe w/ JDM Type-R details (red Honda emblems, sport-seats, etc') AND glossy red wheels (Volk CE28N style or perhaps even ITR wheels (http://www.swaqvalley.com/Blueprints/1997_Acura_Integra_Type_R.jpg))... point being: the glossy red enamel wheels looked rather good on the white car w/ other accents (red emblems, gun-metal calipers, tints, etc')! :cool:

green fo sho do

WHITE + BRONZE is the best look imo!!

I bet if green was added to the poll it would win hands down

haha yups id pick green if it was on the poll but i was limited to to picking bronze. fail poll

Bronze!

check out my stockies did it my self what do u think.:thmsup:

Pretty cool--- you need black lugs though. (IMO)

And also exposure setting on camera needs toning down a bit. I still think black wheels on black car don't look good.

I love them....they look great. Get your lugs painted though....

Tutorial? Garage job?

I love them....they look great. Get your lugs painted though.... Tutorial? Garage job? yeah im getting them done po.coated or else the paint will chip . ill gettem done for free.

if you dont get one of the standing out colors like green/purple.. i really think bronze would look nice.. bronze on a white car looks so sick

I voted for the black, but I could see some of those others looking pretty awesome. Depends on what you like. :)

Whats it going to cost you? If not to much you could try one of the colors you'd like to do but are not sure how will turn out and if you don't like it then go for a safe color. :dunno:

--you know what? GO CRAZY--SOMETHING DIFFERENT---babyshi# yellow? Shi#-muckledy brown? belly-bile green? it's all good.

IT'S PAINT, if ya get sick of it, re-paint it!! That's the beauty of paint...

purple!!!!!!!you can pull it off.a friend of mine has a white suby with purple rims i think it looks clean.ill try to get a pic from him and post later today

So did you ever pick something? I'd do my stocks green if I can get a paint code for them, or I guess I could just print out a picture to match it?

I think you would be happiest with the bronze the longest...

you cant not go wrong with a white car sitting on bronzes or gold rims! :thmsup:

Yea bronze isn't bad, but I wouldn't go anything common. Especially on an extra set of wheels.

One word HIDEOUS

To each thier own, but are you high?

That e36 m3 is :notworthy:

Gloss black would def be nice against white, especially with a dark tint.
