X

just clikc the link, sorry i dont know why it wont let me link it, i need a better image host, anyone know of a good one!?

hmmm...

i dont know aboutt he blue but the white wheels are always a YES!

i like blues to be deeper / darker... like BADTOY's holdoon... candy apple blue (or something like that)

i love it

yea i love white wheels

i like the blue cos ive never seen it on a rolla before. it stands out and it goes well with white and it shows the lines of the car really well.

thanks for the imput people

peace

They support direct linking, or I can host a few images for you.

i like it, just go for an upsize on the wheels and it will be sweet

It's diff. I'll give ya that!

Ain't no Eleanor though, but simple white wheels would be a good contrast.
Just don't go fanging around the gravel tracks in the 'rapa, else you'll be forever repainting them...

hahah yea gotta love those gravel tracks!

naa if i have white wheels i wont be going out on them anymore lol.

i decided against the eleanor colour cos i want somthing that screms out at you! nice and bright!

what sized wheels would you reccomend for a rolla? i think 17 might look a bit big, how about 15 or 16?

16 would be adequate enuff, any bigger and ull have to look at rolling the guards.

personally with older cars like that i prefer the older period style mags, there are some nice rollas like urs around in the tauranga area with the blue paint u have on (some are a bit darker), and running on 14 inch deep dish chromes (old school ones), and they look real nice. I also know a mate that put some DC3 integra alloys on his rolla (he etched off the honda symbol tho, just so it wasnt obvious what he had got the mags off), and admittedly they set the car off nicely.

yea i know the oldskool deep dish chromes look nice on the old rollas but im just not into them aye, im pretty set on white 5 spokes. dont car who makes em as long as they are 5spoke like the ones in my pic, i will powdercoat them white if they dont come white, i love the advanti stalker in white. dont have that much cash to spend tho.

Tell you what wouldntl look stupid, is a set of the 5 spoke factory levin (Ae101) alloys, there toyota, they dont look too shabby, there 15", and they probably wouldnt look too out of place powercoated.

If you find a set let me know, im interested in a set for my ae92

im just after any nice lookign 5spoke wheels.
i doubt i'd ever see any but yea if i find any ill let you know. i already sorted where to get my wheels from.

can you get resene paints colour matched for car paint? cos thats where i got the colour from

Drop a 13b and an 8" exhaust system in it bro and u can go down Queen street going "BARP BARP BARP" and pickup all the rota hoez!

BUT REALLY

Nice concept. Not sure about the colour though, maybe something metallic?

(Spot the Westie, I almost typed Metallica haha)

i was thinking making that colour a tad darker in hue but still nice and bright. and making it either metallic or super high glossy!
that pic doesnt actually show the true colour i want, when i printed it out it came out different but that may be just my printer. its supposed to be a nice bright aqua colour, not baby blue. anyone with a resene colour book its in there "HULLABALOO" very nice colour.

hullabaloo? sounds like something you do with a fat chick when uve got ur beer goggles on

hahahahaha so true. its a real nice colour tho, that pic i made doesnt do it much justice.

Hmmm dunno about the colour aye..... it's a bit washed out for my liking, I like real deep darker finishes (not tooo dark) like a real nice forest green on a navy blue that looks like you could dive in there and not emerge for days.....

Darker colours contrast with the chrome better I reckon, looks far classier!

Then add polished rims, something understated like good ol' Simmons FRs... (then go begging cos' ya wont have any money left!)

So I'll have to say I'm not a huge fan of the concept, I like old school cars done up old school style....

yea they do look better in darker colours, but i want somthing bright so it turns heads!
it all comes down to personal preference as it does with all things
