I'm thinking about painting my 17's like a midnight blue sort of color (since the factory clear is peeling on the wheels anyway)... but I want to know how it'll look on my civic before I go through the trouble of painting them... can someone with ps do a color change on my wheels please?

(sorry, it's the highest resolution pic I could find)


Thanks to anyone who decides to chop this for me :)

LMFAO... i swear your just like me..... even tho your trying to sell your still modifying ;)

How about this?

It's good enough to give me an idea of what the finished product will look like... thanks, dan. I think I'll do them in blue.

And addiction, I'm not 100% sure I'm selling it anymore... I've been thinking about the driveability of a boosted rwd car in the winter, not to mention the problems an 18 year old car will have. In the long run, I think just keeping my civic and swapping to a 5-speed (and maybe boosting it soon) would be better. If I don't have a buyer by like wednesday, I'll probably just keep the ej1.

Heyo

thanks, tbon3... I think I'm going to do it... the nice thing about the paint I'll be using is that from some angles, it looks black, but then head-on, it looks blue. I think it'll turn out well... and if I don't like it, it's $20 to repaint them again:D

thanks again

hey reaper do you have a really high res size of that pic or is it just that size originaly

will 3264x2448 work for you?

i say a flat black with a blue pin stripe around the lip

I'm not sure that would be enough blue... if it were a blue car, I'd agree with you... but with the car being black (and the dark shade of blue I'm using), a blue pinstripe wouldn't really even be noticeable. Anyway, if I do boost the car, I'm going to paint the charge piping and the sides of the intercooler the same color blue to match.

well, i say it will be more noticable than you think, considering the wheel will be a dull flat black and the glossy pin stripe could be approximately 1/2" or 3/4". just ask if someone would ps that, you might like, never know.

you might be right...

any takers on chopping it? I have that super-high resolution pic I can post if it helps.

But the stripe would have to be on the very edge of the rim... the wheels have an inner lip, so just outlining the lip wouldn't work.

Also, anyone have any other ideas for wheel colors (that would actually look good) for a black car?

nvm, i say just spray them an oem silver, you already have too much black and blue on the car.

Huh? The only blue on the outside of my car is the stock winsheild tint band and the front calipers (and I'm painting the calipers flat black soon). And silver wheels are overrated;)

Post a link to the high res...and dont listen to ej6...hes a weenie. Always angry about somethin. What pin stripe do you want...and color

here's the link (http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s258/rakusi/1018-1.jpg)... can you do a blue pinstripe out the outside edge of the wheel by the tire? Thanks in advance:D

*edit: sorry, apparently photobucket automatically resizes pics to 1024x768 if they're bigger... it was 3264x2448

so black wheels, blue pinstripe?

yeah, if you would:)

email me the picture..... i can put some BIG @SS pictures on my PB account....

ya might want to link that link in your first post so anyone new can see/use it first.... ;)

alright ill give it a try, have to do this physics take home test, wanna finish most of it tonight

good idea on the link, addiction (and I know it wasn't the biggest pic ever, but personally, I don't like dealing with anything bigger than 1024x768... but then again, I don't have photoshop, so there's really no need for me to have that big of pics)

And thanks greddy, you're awesome :D

ya i think the largest my camera will take is like alittle under 3MB pictures. ya dont really need anything that large.LOL

Post a link to the high res...and dont listen to ej6...hes a weenie. Always angry about somethin.Â* What pin stripe do you want...and color


seriously kid, stfu. i'm not angry at anything, he wanted suggestions, i gave him suggestions. reason being with the blue, i didn't know he was painting the calipers back to black and he said he was painting several other things blue, which would make the car have too many blue shades. it's posters like you that piss me off the most considering you don't know who the hell i am. my suggestion to you is to just keep your mouth shut (or keyboard) unless you have some productive to say or type.

^ yeah, all the things I was saying about painting blue aren't on the car... it's all going to be the exact same shade of blue, when I turbo the car though. Overall, 90% or so of the car will be one shade of black, 8% or so will be one shade of blue, and the other 2% will be things like my wheels' inner lips, lug nuts, suspension components, ec.

ya but youll only have 15 lugs..... hahahaha i cannt believe ya still havent fixed that dam wheel stud. LOL
i noticed that when i looked at the picture closer hehehehehe

yeah, that's why it's only 2% lol... but seriously, if I end up keeping the civic, I'll be making an appointment to replace the stud, put my new brakes on, and replace the rear left wheel bearing (which is going out) within the next two weeks.

and you dont know who i am either...get the dildo out of your ass you stuck up piece of sh*t. theres a reason people werent happy to see you were back. Youre an arrogant prick who thinks the world of himself. I wasnt even bein serious but since you cant take a joke, you get your poon up in a bunch and start sh*t. If you get mad over someone callin you a weenie, you have some self issues, and everyone knows you have a negative attitude abotu things around here. stfu and go end yourself...f*ckin mistake

will 3264x2448 work for you?


yeah bro thanks i like that background for a chop

why do you keep telling people to kill themselves?

Bahahah steve, you just want to use him for his backgrounds.

haha yeah, well i thought it was done after the chop so i wasn't gonna rechop somthin that tbon3 and sorry i don't remember who else chopped it i don't feel like goin back to page one.. haha

oh and also guys lets just cut the crap, were on the internet no matter how much you guys bitch and complain about and to eachother nothing will ever get solved from it all it will do is increase the bandwich(i think) and just clutter **** up haha.. all tho i must admit i laughed pretty hard when greddy you said 'you get your poon in a bunch' hahahahaha

WOW. Peg's going to be in here with a vengeance if you guys start stuff like this again. Dude.... HCF sucks. Why am I even still here since I have a teg :P

I'm going to side with ej6 on this one, because frankly GReddy you just piss me off (and apparently others). ej6 meant absolutely nothing by what he said, and it's dicks like you that ruin forums. So gratz.

^ X2 greddy can be a hypocrite when it comes to being an @ss sometimes....
IMO he wants to be a @ss MOD..... :eek:

Seriously guys, when i called him a weenie, i didnt even mean anything by. Would any of you get angry if someone else called you a weenie? Seriously, if youre offended by that, then theres something wrong. I never had intentions of startin anything, Ej6 just got really angry by a simple little comment. And yes, this got way otu of hand but whatever, f*ck it, i dont really care. sorry to whoever was offended, and tbone, if you dont like hcf, then leave, no one will miss you.

...and dont listen to ej6...hes a weenie. Always angry about somethin.


Would you want someone you've never talked to hear to hear crap like this about you? Just having other douches telling them that you're always mad and pissed? I kind of want to follow your threads around and tell everyone that you're just a fag, and to disregard your posts, but unfortunately I don't have the time.

If this is what HCF is, then I'm out. We can't have a thread in the chop shop without someone getting butt hurt. Later guys, if you need anything, email me.

Yea, well too bad i meant it all in good humor but some people do get butt hurt and take stuff too seriously. It is an internet forum, and to take something like that seriously is pretty ridiculous. Like I said, i meant it in good humor and if you were offended, sorry.

ok This thread got out of hand and has officially turned ghey...

ummm pegs on vacation and when i get back this bull$hit is going to stop just a friendly warning. heads will roll and you can quote me on that
