Default how do we feel about...

I want to repaint my stockies, and I kinda liked this idea.
the color theme of my car is black and blue, so it works out.
the only thing I would change is use a much deeper blue and do something with the centercaps

The reflection in the paint of the bench almost makes the car look as if it has gills.

Anywho, I love the color.

yes, i have it dropped pretty low (about 2") all around on goldlines
the picture doesnt do it justice from the high angle.
the very tips of the wheels are tucked under the lip

maybe the blue does need to be a tad darker..I wondered how those stockies would look with a somewhat rainbow color and paint slatted face plate...haha nvm you need a drop. That is what is bothering me

i think it looks good, although i would have to agree that you may want to go a bit darker. blue anodize lugz would also be nice.

yup. just got back from home depot. got a pretty dark navy blue.

and i thought the same thing about the lugs, that's why I asked if anyone had any experience with them. the only thought I have: wouldn't they get all scraped and scuffed up when you put them on and off
