Theme Tuesdays: Painted Wheels

Nov 24, 2009

The concept of theme Tuesdays here on Stance Is Everything is simple, every Tuesday I pick a theme and post a collection of vehicles with that theme that meet the stance criteria (modified suspension that suit the vehicles intent). This weeks theme Tuesday topic is: Painted Wheels

Remember not too long ago when people only put wheels on their cars that were black, gunmetal, silver, or gold? Not too many brave souls dared to push the border past these colors, however now that black with a polished lip, and gunmetal have been done to death people are starting to get far more creative with their rim color schemes.

Like all things experimentation doesn’t always work but when it does its spectacular.

Loud solid colors

No better way to make your wheels pop than painting them a loud color. To pull this look of though you need a nice set of wheels and a great drop.

If Julian got tired of this look I can't wait to see his next one

Without these green wheels this could be just another civic

Painted Steelies

While not after market rims a lot of us rock these in the winter and maybe instead of leaving yours black this year you could try something a little more creative.

This color without the white walls would be tragic but works well with

This whole car took me by surprise, it's really well put together

A lot of work went into these steels, worth it in the end though

Painted Lips

Honestly I think I’m starting to like painted lips over polished in a lot of applications.

I might have posted this one before, but its worth another glace

Painted BBS’s

A good friend of mine spent a lot of time trying to convince me to color match my RMs, I never did it because I didn’t think I could pull it off with the stock lip and the height I was at but these cars all pull of painted BBS’s (and maybe replicas) very, very well.
