i'd run with the blue and the wheels in your profile picture, I think it looks super sweet and the stance makes it look beyond mean.

Here is a render I had done about a month ago. It shows the color scheme I am trying to achieve.

  It is funny you say that. I really want a charcoal color car with black rims,tinted windows, charcoal red decals and some red pin striping and someone said it would look very JDM to them. I guess it is kind of true but just listen to the car and it will not sound like any ricer. These cars get all five senses going.

My last car was bright red with polished wheels. This car is going to be the exact opposite. And sorry, I HATE ricers and all they do to there cars. There is NOTHING ricer about black wheels, or this car.

I understand you are trying to help keep me from that realm, and thank you for that. I promise you if it looks ricer when I am done it WILL get changed, lol, but I will never do anything to make it that way.
