Was thinking about coating my Preludes rims white. What you guys thinking? Would it looks nice (Imagine them flawlessly done that is)
Or is it too.. Mainstream if you will ha. The car is really dark eucalyptus green. Looks gun metal in dusk and almost black at night.


P.s Thats the hood when just taken out of storage. Just finished sanding it down and waxin it. Looking mint now. I figure someone would comment on that it looks shitty atm.

very nice car. I'd go for white rims, very " JDM " like . The car should make you happy not others. Meaby go with white rims + colored caps that match the body ?

I was going to comment "fix the hood first" before I saw your edit lol

I like the rims you have on it now, I think the white ones would be too much, unless you had a way to tie the white color in with the rest of the car

I agree with this. I like how it sits now but idk how the white would look unless you can blend it in nicely

I don't understand the popularity of white on any wheel with any car.

It looks tacky, and it makes the wheel look like nylon plastic.
