Default Finally my first post!

Hey everyone I've been following the forums for a few years now probably since late 05 to early 06. Just been too lazy to make an account and show off my stock tc. Made a few changes and finally decided to share! The green rims are a love it or hate kind of thing I got addicted to painting them and tried something different, they may be gold next.













The stockies used to be black and even though they looked good, I began to grow tired of them.

Props for being different. It doesn't fit my tastes but as long as you like it that's what matters

Thanks for the quick replies! Ye I thought of the whole xmas thing too after I did them, kind of happened by accident.

Thanks, thats actually my buddies I have a blue one, his fit the whole black on black theme better.

I followed the DIY's off of the forum. Cleaned them with soap and water, sanded with a few different sand papers, used some krylon primer, followed it up with some krylon gloss emerald green paint, and did many coats of duplicolor wheel clear coat! Then tada.

When you get tired of green, go blue! My friend did it on his Evo and I think it looks sick!

its different well I personally think gold/bronze would look best but the green is still a good color but I think it would look better on some other color than bsp but its all good.

Lol I actually thought of doing blue also, but when I was shopping around for paint this green just popped into my hands. That evo looks sick btw!

I might do gold stockies eventually, and bronze will hopefully happen when I get some after market wheels. I really want some 17x8 5zigen's in bronze. Its cheaper to play with the stockies for now! I agree though that the green may look better on say a super white or something.

F4i is a good bike, and I almost had a yellow 600rr but the guy wrecked it a week before I was going to buy it!

Btw those are awesome rims 2007tC-T!

The color kind of grew on me too, I'm usually into a more subtle look but what the hell.
