Nice......I like the shade, and would do the same thing if it was me.

There are some colours, that just add that 'something' even though it may not be an obvious choice.

Hmm....rim colour, nto sure what would go with that, it would be nice to carry the purple theme to the exterior, just not sure how that would look with your rims of choice.

Maybe photoshop to get a better idea for both potential colours.

I haz new rims. some old enkei's that I traded for my stock wheels. got a great deal to cause they're in great condition and they cam with new nitto neo gen tires and all I had to do to get him to trade straight up with me was go to the ford dealership and get some free used tires and mount them on the rims. so I got them basically for free.

indeed. been planning this for like a year. plus it helps that I get bombarded with great ideas at school everyday since I'm in a high performance class and my teacher owns a tuning shop and has a turbo on every vehicle he owns. Including a turbo diesel truck with a aftermarket turbo, an r32 or r33 skyline (can't remember which it is) that he completely built, a twin turbo 350z automatic :lawl: and a turbo'd street bike.

the rims I got look kinda like these
