Alloys Choice NHB Type R with White Rages

ashkeenon · 11th July 2008, 14:37

Does anyone have a NHB Type R with the Rage alloys powder coated white, quite fancy the look of this, meanwhile i have super imposed stellas white wheels onto my car in photoshop, may look into how much this would cost.

I have toned down the whiteness of the wheels as they were very bright compared to the photo.

Looks good i think, although a bugger to keep clean surely??

angie4m · 11th July 2008, 15:06

Hmmm, i'm not sure about white wheels on NHB but if you like it then what the hell eh?

ashkeenon · 11th July 2008, 15:33

Im not too sure either quite like the look of it but like to see it in flesh first or someone with photos.

Dimplyred · 11th July 2008, 15:42

I'm not too sure either.

Not my cup of tea either, to be truthful, takes my eye away from the lovely lines of the car itself somehow, but as angie says, your car, you enjoy

They are a bit bright due to coming from a different photograph than the one i used for my car, thats why i would like to see if someone else has a photo where they are both in the same type of lighting so the wheels arent brighter than the car vice versa.

Of course, yes, that would reduce the effect I mentioned.

illegalhunter · 11th July 2008, 18:03

not for me , but there your wheels

HappyMan · 11th July 2008, 18:17

I both like and dislike them at the same time, which leaves me confused, never mind anyone else

.

The most important thing is if you like them that's all that matters

Yeesss - it would catch the eye - but not perhaps for the right reasons ?

As others have said - "each to their own" - but you did ask for opinions !

IMHO - it looks a bit "super-pimpish" - for me, that is ... ???

p.s. - better if there were other white 'accents' inside \ outside ? ...

Same here to be honest HM, but I think at the moment 'dislike' is just winning.

ashkeenon · 11th July 2008, 23:55

I kinda like the idea of it but dont no if i could live with it. Theres something i like as its different but just that little thing that says it doesnt look quite right. Would definatley need to see it for real first or someone with actual photos.

Mr JP · 11th July 2008, 23:57

black would be better!

f.ss.t · 12th July 2008, 01:53

White would look great
this would give the car an old school jap look.
Go for it!

He used to be decisive....now hes not sure!!!

mattsbobo · 12th July 2008, 18:31

I love white wheels, and those look great! I say go for it.

jamesaberdeen73 · 16th July 2008, 21:23

I think silver looks better with the black...its too much of a contrast

Unknownsoldier · 16th July 2008, 21:36

How about...........Red Wheels??? I like Red/Black as a Combo, many go for it with splitters so how about trying to knowck one up with red ones???

Good call! Black on red, is a sick combo. MUCH better than black on white.
