give me your opinion (photoshop, sportmax 501's)

[BustedS13]

"buy real wheels lol!" guys need not apply.

the car: '92 hatchback, sunset orange metallic/black roof. soon to have silvia front end. no body kit. well, maybe OEM skirts and a kouki rear valance. but i'm not going to go out of my way to get them. suspension is AGX's/Sportlines, and no, i don't plan to go lower. i drive this car every day, i don't need to be scraping on everything. i might get Tein Flex's down the road.

the wheels: Sportmax 501's. 16x8, +15.

the photoshop: gunmetal and silver wheels. which do you prefer, and what do you think would look good with the orange?

[tiresmokes13]

the second picture i think looks better.

[chmercer]

generally when you use photoshop the car should look better in the after picture, not the before picture

rofl.

[luckyslide16]

ROFL @ some of the responses!

But in all seriousness I think you would be better of spending your money on some good quality used mesh wheels. something like a black mesh with a polished lip that will go with the orange.

Either way good luck with the decision.

[hwy1]

I think you should pick the one you like better. who gives a F**k if you find someone who doesn't like them. thats there problem.

[markyboi]

basically what he is saying is that stock looks better than the pic you posted

Have you decided on those rims? if so, I think the gunmetal ones look good. I may be wrong but I am assuming that this car is drifted? if this is also true when the e- brake is pulled the stopped spokes of the wheel will not stand out as much, making e brake initiating drifts look smoother. If one is pulling the e-brake to start a drift or correct a drift it is good to be sutble with the e-brake. In the end what really matters is what you like. You are the one that is going to be driving the car. When you asked what would look good with the orange, were you talking about outside or in side (engine bay/ interior)? Usually blue complements the orange pretty well.

ok...
a.) i haven't 100% decided on these, but i'm leaning towards them.
b.) i do not drift. see attached photo.
c.) i meant which wheels went with the orange paint >.<

do you see my 15's poking out beyond these wheels? i don't. these are bigger than the 15's, so i'd call them 16's, if not 17's. the s13 just has big wheel wells, and it's not slammed...

btw:

dude, that just means you're bad at photoshop.
I'd go with silver if you absolutely HAVE to have those wheels

You guys already busted this reply, but I had to add my 2 cents.

Why in hell does wheel color matter when the ebrake is pulled? "Dude, don't get those gunmetal wheels, you won't look cool if you try to initiate a drift." That's the stupidest fucking comment yet.

And blue and orange? Is this a car or a football mascot?

and after staring at these wheels for so long, i'm pretty sure i'm not going to bother. between the fake bolts and the universal lug pattern, it's just way too busy. and there's a guy selling new old stock mesh on here for pretty cheap, so i think i'll go that way.

While I condone your choice in wheels, I REALLY want that Drifting Sucks sticker, where the fuck can I get one?
