Default Thinking about changing my rim colors...thoughts?

You know how they say cars are never really done? I'd say that this is a good case of that. A buddy of mine is building this Nova and it has rims with black hoops and white spokes. It's hard to imagine, but looks KILLER on his car.

I was thinking it might look cool on my Chevelle...what do you guys think?

See my signature for how the wheels are currently.



It's pretty wild looking...kind of more exotic car looking, but I kind of dig it. Mind you, the interior is bright white also...so it would match.

I think the current wheel color is perfect. I wouldn't change it. Plus cleaning the white might not be fun if you drive the car. Not sure but a thought.

If it's as simple as swapping why not just do it and post it up? Everybody is right the car looks killer bur do it just because you can.

Vince I think you want me to get that car more than I do lol. The problem is the Chevelle is currently motorless(long story there), and I'm in the middle of swapping an LS engine in my '62 Caddy. So I kind of need another project like I need another hole in my head lol

It would actually be a ton of work...I'd have to take apart the wheels, have them sandblasted and powder coated. Plus the cost of it all.

The current color is appropriately mechanical looking and definitely more timeless. The white would be kinda trendy/fad-ish. I say keep 'em as is.
