Rim ideas

Post by etowne84 »

Hey everybody first post here and have had my vibe a couple months just now starting to spiff it up. Thinking about getting some new rims. Here's the car and the rims i have been looking at. Was thinking of maybe blacking the car out, but kinda like the style of these rims. Input appreciated. Image Image

Welcome to GenVibe!!! Not bad rims... But you'll need rubber to go with them as well.

one of the main things i like about those wheels is the silver part.
i notice that it a flat surface which means you can get some vinyl from a sign shop (any color you want) and wrap the silver in the color and trim the edges.
the silver would be any color you choose and it would NOT be permanent :D

I did mine this way. The white on my wheels is wrapped in vinyl and they have lasted thtru daily driving and the car wash sprayers too for 10 months now at least

Thanks for the input the vinyl idea is sweet, I got red dash lights and red interior lights so getting the silver part wrapped in red vinyl would look pretty cool, does the vinyl work with hubcaps too?? Like could I just wrap my hubcaps in black vinyl to black them out?? Also, sick vibe and rims man.
