RGTorque Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 looking at these two both available in 18x8. the bottom wheel can have any color stripe i want, or no stripe at all. http://www.madmotors.co.uk/catalog/images/dotz_predator_alloy_wheel.jpg http://www.madmotors.co.uk/catalog/images/dotz_touge_alloy_wheel.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost7018 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The bottom would look good on an all black 7 with gold accent and gold pin stripes on the car. Kind of a Johnny Player Special look. Or go all black with no accents at all. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Both look good. I like the bottom wheel with a platinum silver stripe for a more low key look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxologist Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Both look good. I like the bottom wheel with a platinum silver stripe for a more low key look. i'd agree with this too. The only other color on your car Roman is the aluminium from the windscreen and rollbar. if add another accent color to the body of the car, a differnt color could work accordingly.

scannon Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I liked the wheels you showed us awhile back although I would black out the two shiny bolt heads or whatever they are on each side of the spokes. http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/8224/cimg2625resize.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I have to agree that the 2nd set with silver striping would look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 What is the weight of each rim? Call me Colin Chapman but it is all about weight. http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/8224/cimg2625resize.jpg Who's car is this? Is that bedliner on the back fenders? I like it! Sorry to high jack you post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGTorque Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) the car above is mine. as for the current wheels on it... my wagon is eagerly awaiting their return. those car carlisle this past weekend will probably note the need for their return. also i would rather 18's then 19's. while they do fit they are a hair bigger then i would like. just checked. the pin stripe can only be "none,red,orange,yellow,white" Edited May 18, 2009 by RGTorque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxologist Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Time Attack would be a nice color, but i still think u would need the accent color on some part of the body for it realluy to work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGTorque Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 the stripes are installed by me as they are a sticker. i may get it with a white stripe kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian7 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Sorry, but I'm with "SPAZ"... weight is the enemy... unsprung weight is worse... excess rotating mass is, well, unspeakable ! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGTorque Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 well being that this is for the street, i dont care to much. i have diff wheels for track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDingo8MyBaby Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I've never been a huge fan of completely black wheels. It looks like the car is on steelies at first glance. That being said, something with a black face and a polished lip should look nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwind25 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 when budget allows, we are going to the charcoal black color on our wheels. it just would look better, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureadrenalin Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 To each his own, but that is the ugliest thing I have ever laid eyes on, almost like a rapper got his hands on it. I would stick with a proper size for these cars. It just looks all sorts out of proportion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would stick with a proper size for these cars. It just looks all sorts out of proportion. That's a bit harsh, and like you say, to each his own. Roman is going for the "blacked out" look with a touch of color. For your info, the Ultralite is designed to take 17" wheels ( and larger), unlike the Loti, Cats, Birkins, Locost etc., which generally take 13 or 14 inch wheels. It is almost impossible to put that small of a wheel on the Ultralite due to the Wilwood 12" front rotors and Dynalite 4 pot calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I didn't know that wheels that big could go on a car like this. I get the caliper size too, I struggle with that on my SRT-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGTorque Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 wow boss... not so cool to come on to a forum as a junior member and start ripping members rides apart with your internet muscles. on this forum we like to take in all 7's even if their form is not our own ideal image. how would you like it if you posted a pic of your child or significant other and i responded by saying that they were the ugliest person ive ever seen and they should really get some surgery to be more like the "norm". if this is to much for you, perhaps you should click to another page.. as i stated earlier, the wheels came from my other car and they were only on there as a temp. the current wheel is actually the second pic on the first post in a 18x8 with 245/235/40 nt05 tire that fits perfect (in my eyes). pics tomorrow pics of the 19's on the actual car http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/9906/img1718km5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) I like them more on the above car. Which is a what....., VW? Black wheels shd have red stripes, IMHO. I agree w/those who say the wheels are a bit too big for the Se7en, tho I think the Ultralite looks better with larger wheels than say, a Caterham or Birkin. And to each his own. I think your Se7en looks great, I am a big fan of all black. Mike Edited August 13, 2009 by Kitcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
