AAaaaahhhhh, now i get your comment on Mizfits car... (haden't seen this post)

How about dropping the rear and another model of wheel?

Not sure on the all black theme. it tends to kill the wheel.

Lead.

How about a silver/metalic grey double stripe down the middle of the car body? Use a matt finnish dark grey on the wheels. Nice looking car.

kinda ironic that i asked him to help me source a set of Iforged wheels that i am going to do all black only to not get back to me and post up what you saw.. and you see the date of this thread too.

makes you go.. hmm...


either way.. my Iforged are on their way.. and yes they are all black except the bolts..
and oh yea the rear is dropped now too.. ahhaha new Gbar in the rear with coils now.. MUCH better.

so the harms are going bye bye

i dunno what you guys would think of like a deep bronze - thay seems to go good on black or white cars imho.

or if thats a little too...importey, maybe gunmetal instead of bodycolor matched black? that way the wheels are still set off a little bit, but they dont draw as much attention as when they were shiny.

After looking at the car and the other comments, I think the black center w/ brushed rim would look cool. Having said that, do you want this to be our car or yours?
