This might be a weird idea, but if you are going with blue rims, then what i would do is paint the side skirts, and front and rear lips or lower sections of them blue as well.

I dont know why but i am picturing that in my head and it looks good to me. Photoshop that in and check it out.

I was actually thinking about that. Just don't know if that would be a bit too much blue for the car.

Do the line of blue then, not the full piece. Paint the lips orange with a pin strip line of blue all around.

Might not be a bad idea. Will have to start small first, rims then decide what else to do. I think if I do go blue rims then orange lug nuts will definitely make things go together and then decide on the body parts.

Yeah that is what i did. I had an idea and put it all together one by one. Cause then things change and you see something new.
