Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

28 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I planned on painting the rims gold to match side script. Just got the script on and really like the silver. Am I tired, crazy or maybe half sane. I love the rim style so didn�t want to change. I�m really conflicted now.

POST 2Original post

Plastidip them gold. If you don’t like them, then you can peel it off. If you DO like it, have them painted or powder coated.

POST 3Original post

I think that Twist wheel would look killer in gold. Look at prismaticpowder.com for some examples of good gold colors for powder coating (I'd do a satin finish). No offense but I'd never use plasti dip as a permanent solution.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Funny, I asked my friends. One won�t respond. One thinks I need to go gold to make special and the other says the 4S already has enough bling with the guards red, flared fenders and the gold script so leave as is before I go too far. I sort of agree. I really like how it draws out the rims. I guess I�ll look at in the sun tomorrow. Maybe my opinion will change. if I decide to paint, my friend does it for a living. Thanks guys.

POST 5Original post

Here's a close-ish match to your decal. Summin' more gold. (Which I dig on red cars, FWIW.)

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wow thanks, that�s really helpful. Amazing what you guys can do. ive thought about lowering but been there, done that with another car. Didn�t like the ride as much and scraped a lot. Definitely like that look though.

POST 8Original post

That's a lot of gold. Not my style, but it's your car, so do what you love.

POST 9Original post

I think it would look good either way, silver is classic and gold is bold. Personally I would match the caps with whatever color you go with, it seems busy with the extra color in the middle of the wheel. Here are mine, its not everyone's cup of tea but it can be changed easily enough or I can just pick up another set.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Those came out really nice. Did you paint?

POST 12Original post

No, I had them powder coated. The faces were actually in great shape, no rash just a few rock chips but the barrels were rough. I detail cars and I threw everything I had at it, even started attacking with steel wool and they just wouldn't budge so I just had them redone. I think I ended up paying around $160 per wheel with the caps painted and tires mounted and balanced.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The powder coating is the way to go. $160 is a great deal. I did two of my rims in the garage. Sand, fill, sand, fill.... Shoot and clear. They came out pretty nice, I'll see how long they last. Friend recommended JB weld for the fill after I did mine. Next time if what I did fails. Frisbee91: Agree, might be too much gold for the car. I think I'll stick to classic for now.

POST 14Original post

Quotes source post: 16879357

I agree, a set of coilovers and the look improves dramatically.

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'll think about it. I definitely want a new muffler, short shift and 996/986 sport seats. Again, not sure the height is worth the worry. Seemed I has lots of difficulties getting into driveways and parking lots. Maybe I'll just higher wall tires. Who's kidding who, I am no racer.

POST 16Original post

@Argeo , the natural light photos are great. I'll give you something to look at this evening, PST.

POST 19Original post

Keep in mind actual results will look better than these 60 second photoshops. I'm using flat color whereas real paint will have metallic flake, yadda yadda. Hope they help you decide, nonetheless.

POST 20Original post

Doc... maybe I should take a wack at this Photoshop thing here... haha you know I like Photoshop! haha

POST 21 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks again. I really have to think about this. In the meantime, work got called off today so I painted my caps silver again.

POST 22 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking at the pictures, it is really amazing what you can do. Bravo sir.

POST 23Original post

I'd keep the wheels silver IMHO. It just looks right with the car. Gold and red remind me of McDonalds.

Quotes source post: 16883182

This^ It's hard to pull off but it can be done. I think if you went with gold wheels and a smaller more subtle script it could be done but since the script and the wheels will both draw your attention it doesn't look quite right in my opinion. And then you think of the above....at least I do

POST 26Original post

Quotes source post: 16883182

I think he'd be fine. McDonald's is more yellow, per the attached.

POST 27 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I�m staying silver. I was concerned about three colors but I�ve been looking and it seems to be common. Thanks guys.

POST 28Original post

Looks good with the silver caps and the script, looks less busy now.
