not a fan of gold. looks clean tho. thing is, why didnt u take the wheel off? cuz if you were to spray mounted, that means the inside didnt really get covered....?

oh, I haven't thought of trying an alternating pattern. Maybe my next dip will be. I am not sure about having a mat-black color on a gloss-black car. Also, gloss-black wheels are a no go.I am curious what an alternating dark gray and lighter gray would look like. or maybe a dark gray then black.
Just remembered that I am doing a tire rotation soonLooks good, Not a huge fan of gold either but its different at least. My first thought was hope you dont need to take one of the wheels off any time soon and scrape up the 'dip on the lug nuts.
definitely don't want that :thmsup:.kudos for not going with basic black. at least nobody standing 20 feet away from your car will think you are rolling on steelies.
I agree, it is a good combination. :yes:I do like the contrast of gold on black, wanted to do that with my Grand Am back in 09, but gold plastidip wasn't around yet.
IMO, I would have taken the wheels off. Two reasons:
>mask off the "H" on the centercap
>no overspray all over the lugnuts
The lugs are going to look like crap once they're taken off with an impact gun or just a lug wrench. Good excuse to get different lugs, maybe even a lightweight set.
I am interested in seeing pics of these wheels on the Accord, do you mind sharing some pictures?These are the same wheels that are currently on my Accord. Black doesn't work so well with silver, that's why I went gunmetal. =]
:thmsup:Black and gold is clean brotha. Me likey.
Actually I would encourage you to try plasti dip. It helped hide some of the curb-scratches off my wheels. Even the ugly ones got a little better.i would dip my rims but two are scratched from a few years ago, hitting a curb turning into a garage while sleepy =X still hurts me a little to see it every time T_T
Are you really solicitous about what total strangers think about your car as you drive by them ?:lmao:kudos for not going with basic black. at least nobody standing 20 feet away from your car will think you are rolling on steelies.
I will try to peel it off the lug nuts before peeling it off the wheels.It looks good but I would like it a lot more if you didn't paint the lug nuts and center cap. It would look more like the wheels came that way.
NeatPics of my Accord for ya, OP.

Yea the whole thing or just a black H would look good. Just to create a little contrast in the center of the wheel.I will try to peel it off the lug nuts before peeling it off the wheels.
As for the center cap, do you mean leaving the whole thing in original form, or just the H sign?
