Default help me find wheels with colored lips.

considering running a wheel with a color matched lip. i work at a body shop and do my own paint work so i could do a color match to interlago fire i think thatd be sick. i was looking at the xxr 006 and really like the design of the wheel but they have horrible offsets and read bad reviews when they were sportmaxx. so basically can you guys think of anywheels like this?

God those are So sick but a weee bit to high for me. I'll take 20s if I have to but I prefer 19s. They dont HAVE to be that exact design but just a multi spoke black center. Don't know how a color matched lip would look with any other color lip. Btw I'll be looking to spend 2k wheel and tire package

please do not get them if they have bad offsets. I think a purple pinstrip would prob look better but thats just me.

Ideal size/offsets:

18x9.5 +22 or +12
18x10.5 +22 or +12

19x9.5 +22 or +12
19x10.5 +22 or +12

You can paint any wheel. Best results from a 2-piece wheel. Take it apart. Paint. Put it back together again.

NOTE: Do not think a fake 2-piece wheel will work out well.

That's what I'll be looking for is around 20 or so. Thing is I dunno if I can get a interlago fire pinstripe. OCD will kill me if the color Is off.

David: are 2 piece wheels able to break down? I know 3 piece are. I had a set of billets on my truck that were 2 piece but welded together. If u can unbolt you right it would be easier but still possible if you can't unbolt. I've done it before

Thanks for the help. One the only link I saw on the first page for a z was the thread I have made. 2 notice how I'm asking for a specific wheels design. Figured some members might know some wheels like these off the top of there head. Again thanks for your help

No offense dude but it looks a bit ghetto. The only people I see doing this are hood mobiles or old *** white guys with corvettes. Don't be that guy.

volk, SSR, work, enkei, advan. you can usually find a used set for around 2k+. i'm planning on getting the rpf1s and it'll cost me right around 2k marker when all said and done.

Good advice

I regret buying "economical" new wheels shoot If I could go back 5yrs I would just buy used 3pc wheels

I have axis Pentas, don't get me wrong there nice and get attention but deep down inside I cringe when I clean my wheels

But if you must buy new, I would say Pentas over those xxr's
Better offsets and color combos oh and I'm running 30f/25r series tires and have hit some NASTY potholes and railroad tracks, where I thought for sure my wheel cracked, an nope not a single dent
