Lightbulb Painted Rims

Hey guys!

I just got my Proto and everything on it is
still factory. Even the wheels. They have full size
spares with wheel covers on them. I'm thinking about
take the covers off and the tires and painting the rims
yellow. My car is a maroon color if that helps any.
I will also be painting a mesh grill yellow if yall agree
with me on the rims.

Thanks!

Lol, true.......

man just stratch yellow completely from the wheel colour list....

What you need to do is come to Vancouver and see a Civic rolling around with yellow wheels that I see sometimes and then you'll realize how bad it looks. I would try saving up a bit of money and getting someone's used wheels if you can't afford brand new ones right now like me

Just leave the caps on .Painted rims look to trailer trash. Not to offend any trailers.

yeah yellow rims on a maroon car would be a big NO-NO!! you can also scratch that yellow grill off your list of mods as well. you'd be better off going with a mesh grill.
