Rims or Paint
 
Ok a big question.. Should I get my car repainted or get new rims first? I havent decided totally on the color but I was either gonna do a black pearl, metallic black or metallic black pearl if possible.. And the rims im going with arnt seen on f-bodies too often. They are HP Racing Evo's 18x9 all around..

So which one do you all think I should go with first?

I'd say wheels. It'll give you more time to decied what paint you want.

i would to wheels so then you dont' have an awsome paint job with some not so awsome wheels

Wheels. Although Im biased... I think painting should be the very last completion of a car... I just think its a waste of money overall, but it looks nice.

evos rare? whatchu talkin about? i see them all the time...well on the net anyway :p

FamousZ 09-11-2006 01:21 AM

I have seen like 3 cars with them on the net.. And most fbodys have the either 5 or 10 spoke rims.. I wanna switch it up a little and get the Evos..

The rims look nice on FBodys. Theres one here locally with them on it and it looks nice.

paint. i know how it is. with my red maro, no one thought it was that bad, but i knew of every little scratch and it bugged me.

once i got it painted it was the best thing i could have done. compliments left and right, shined like a mother.

nothing like a flawless black paint job.

if the paints bad it will look worse with nice wheels, will look like half the cars in the projects here 8 grand in wheels on a $800 car (I know yours doesn't look that bad but you get the point)
