Cheap Rims on Blue car that don't stand out

[94Blue302GT]

Ok, i'm talking like 50-60 bucks per rim. I was thinking black steelies out of summit, although, they say those are actually for a truck or something..
I have a Bright Atlantic Blue, 94 Hardtop. It's going to ahve the exhaust out of the Pass. side Lightning style.
I think black will go better than chrome. The exhaust will be painted with a high heat flat black. I have euro's, but I"m thinking of putting Blackouts over them, and I'd like to get better headlights, but i won't put blackouts over them.
Lemme know what you think!
This is the best pic of my car i have so far, and it's been over 2 years since the pic. It was totalled and i'm about to finish it up.

If you're gonna do steelies then u might want to get some 16" wheels to atleast keep the performance look. IMHO I would get some wheels from a 99 GT for around $200 for the set and paint em black..

 

[Caldwell]

I'll sell you my tribars for $200 and you can paint those things black.

I just sold my tribars!!!

Your car looks pretty well kept from what(Subliminal Message....ditch the euro's!) I see, I think you should do what the other's said and pick up (Euro's suck) a set of 99GT wheels.

 

[94Blue302GT]

yeah yeah, i know, euro's are for europeans, blah blah blah.
I still think it'll look really cool with blackouts. No one will have a clue at night what it will be.

ANYWAYS...
Those 99GT rims, those are just the regular 5 spoke, right?
The thing is, i wanna put 275's or better in the back.

You CAN go as wide as 275 on an 8" wheel. That color is like my first mustang. Mine had a whit rag top with chrome ponies and it looked sick. I got compliments all over the place. Have you seen black wheels on that color car before?

 

[94Blue302GT]

Well, I'm going for a bit of the "drag strip only" look, and i've seen some that use the steelies, and it looks pretty cool. The 99GT's might not look quite right if they were painted black, but who know's.
Anyone have a set or a picture?
I could always photochop them onto my car.
Really, i think the ugliest thing on my car is the rims.
Oh, I was thinking of painting my hood black too. It got damaged in the wreck, and I'm fiberglassing it back, so i may want to save a bit of cash and paint it black. maybe i'll put that as a new thread though.

 

[95Vert]

Have you looked for a hood. RAM000 got a used hood off of a guy on here for $50 if I'm not mistaken. But yeah, the black hood will compliment the wheels and not make them look out of place.

 

[94Blue302GT]

Is this the 99Gt rim you're looking for?

 

[95Vert]

Is this the 99Gt rim you're looking for?

That's a v-6 wheel.

 

[Blackened302]

That's a v-6 wheel.

+1

 

[94Blue302GT]

shoot, searched ebay and that's what i got

 

[94Blue302GT]

Well, which rims are 8" wide?
And where would i buy some steelies that are 16" or 17" and 8" wide?

I think that 5 spokes would be fine painted black. Anyone get pictures?

[95Vert]

There you go.:SNSign:

 

[ES Stangin]

There were some pics of the 99-up GT wheels painted black on a red car, but cant seem to find any good pics of it

 

[95Vert]

Black wheels on red car = teh suck ass.

 

[Blackened302]

Black wheels on red car = teh suck ass.

yeah... MAYBE gunmetal/dsg on red, but black+red=

 

[Scott_95GT]

IMO your best bet would be to get some 17 inch 96-04 take-offs from a GT.
Cheap as hell on e-bay

 

[ES Stangin]

now would I do black? Nope.. If it were me I'd just buy some GT take-offs and leave em
