Candy teal centers ...

I couldn't rock those on my car and expect anyone to believe I was straight. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you might want to reconsider if that wasn't the look you were going for. Unless they're significantly different in color than what the pictures show, that is.

It does look like whoever had it done did a nice job though.

I considered buying them myself just to do something 'different'. Heck at that price you can't go wrong.

Treat yourself to some

and you will be good to go! I like the wheel design, but the color is just going to look bad.

These are described as nogaro. These are a nice color. NOTHING like the OP's pics of candy teal. Reminds me of the colored billet aluminum stuff in the hot rod world. Yuck-o!

i just compared the two pictures right next to each other and they were not far off, my wheels just have a bit more darkness a blue tinge. you must be one of those old guys who thinks he's a purist and is always right even though his eyesight garbage ;-) ever take into account that i took my picture with a simple digital camera in the garage in the middle of the night while his picture was taken outside during the middle of the day? I know what my eyes see in person.

Let's see them mounted. I guarantee they are nowhere in the same league. Perhaps they will look good... Perhaps not... Stanceworks will certainly approve, but I call a foul.

Best of luck.

Well now, that seems really odd combo.
White, silver, or light blue car, and I might think ok, they but schwarz?

I think they look a bit obnoxious, but I kinda like obnoxious! When I was 20 my I paid every dime I had for my 533 and it had TRX's on it. It took me 2 years to come up with enough $ for my TSW's and used 16" tires.

If I had a decent set of 15" tires I'd give 'em to you cheap.

Good luck!

You can get some good tires for less than $50 each at a used tire shop. I don't know why its taking this long, really.

:facepalm:

kids now a days have no taste. I'm not even that old, 28, and I just can't believe someone would take candy colored childish atrocities like those and put them on one of the most cleanly gorgeous automobiles ever created. The beauty of the e28 is in it's simplicity. And adding bright teal rims is going to do nothing but attract police, and make people assume you're trying to be a ricer. sorry. Just my opinion. </rant>
