new cop repellent ( white bbs on sunlight silver)
 
after having black wheels on my last two cars and getting pulled over the same day they were put on i got sick of it.i decided to do my BBS wheels in white, in hopes of trying to blend in.




still needs to be dropped but what do you guys think

looks really good man, i like them much better than black. take the tint off the tails though :sombrero:

FreeFlyFreak 03-21-2010 11:27 PM

Limo tint, tint, tint on the rear light covers so dark you cant see the rear lights and white wheels, on a sliver car..........

No....... you'll never get pulled over in that!

rodrigo 03-21-2010 11:29 PM

Can they ticket you for being retarded?
I guess they could just pull you over to find out....... if you are actually retarded..... or just look retarded.

rodrigo 03-21-2010 11:33 PM

a) wheels look like plastic
b) wheels look like the manufacturer forgot to paint them

either way looks like shit

phillyb 03-21-2010 11:51 PM

i want them

rodrigo 03-21-2010 11:52 PM

yeah, u are the only motherfucker that wants white on red.

even worse

ms3077 03-21-2010 11:59 PM

Yeah, black / gunmetal wheels would've been so much better...

cherryspeed6 03-22-2010 12:09 AM

I think it looks good. just rember man its ur car do what you want with it

nynhex 03-22-2010 12:50 AM

It's different. I like the wheels but they don't flow with the car IMO. You have silver, white, then black with the tint/tails. Looks the tails and lighten up your window tint and it may look better.

And if you're getting pulled over for having black wheels then there is something fucktarded with where you live or perhaps you're doing something to draw attention to yourself? My car is pretty much murdered out and I never get pulled, in fact my last 3 cars have been murdered without incident. Then again maybe they just didn't see me.

actually the pic makes the tint look dark,its 28% which is the legal limit.and as stated above the taillight tint is coming off

honestly if i had a reason to get pulled over i wouldnt care.but the fact i never get pulled over until the day i put the black wheels on every time leads me to believe they just dont like it.my jobs revolves around my license so i prefer to interact with the cops as little as possible

tbot 03-22-2010 08:39 AM

Yeah not a big fan. Just doesn't fit with the rest of the car. Maybe after the tinted tails are changed it might look better...i dunno.

dbrier 03-22-2010 09:47 AM

I don't think that going from black to white wheels will make you any more or less of a cop magnet. Your other exterior mods don't help either. The biggest change you'll have is how often you have to wash your wheels. :)
If you truly want to blend in, get some silver wheels, ditch the taillight tint and the wing extender.

Personalizing your car with exterior mods gets attention, both good and bad. It's the price you pay for individuality.

predapio 03-22-2010 10:00 AM

If you like it that's all that matters..

I think matte black would look better...but it isn't my ride

phillyb 03-22-2010 10:11 AM

lemme get those wheels for 450 bucks

Sacrilicious 03-22-2010 10:24 AM

i don't see why bright white wheels would repel the cops, since i'm pretty darn sure they're just looking for flashiness. the only wheel that's not going to actively attract cops is going to be a stock silver one...

not true

JNR5005 03-22-2010 10:54 AM

I actually like it just the way it looks. What are you going to do about the brake dust though? You will have to change the pads to hawks or somthing. I have them and they don't dust that bad. They take a while to break in though.

I'm with you. My work involves interacting with many law enforcement agencies and the last thing I need is to be a ticket magnet. I just got a ticket for my tails so I'm switching to J-spec/Axela tails and getting another set of hatch tails. It's going to cost me about 600$ but the ticket is $300 and it's matter of time before I get another one (just got pulled over this morning again and got another warning).

jeebus 03-22-2010 11:26 AM

white on silver. um no.

this is pretty much how i feel about this subject. i like white wheels.
i like silver cars. i think white is too light to put on a silver car.
but whatever.
they're nice wheels, and i want them.

madvillain 03-22-2010 01:48 PM

White on red is the BEST combination. Fuck you Lanny.

After 4 days of driving the only reason they are dirty is from the rain we've been having.I'm due for pad and rotors anyways and I was planning on doing the hawks for that very reason.I'm fairly anal and wash the car 2-3 times a week anyway so it doesn't pose much of a problem

yeah I work in the service dept of an exotic car dealer.on a regular basis I'm in 100k$ cars and I have a 1 million dollar insurance policy on me that's fairly expensive and tickets won't help that in the least.






Truth be told I knew a ton of people wouldnt like the color and it's no big deal.I wanted something different from all the black wheels and I like how white looked.I'm taking the wheels off soon to be powdercoated and they'll probably end up black anyway just for the simple resale value of them.

phillyb 03-22-2010 02:39 PM

leave em white, sell them to me for 450 shipped

jamesthebikeguy 03-23-2010 06:25 AM

Your car sticks out like a sore thumb... What makes you thinks cops wont notice you.

the tint... the tails... and the god awful white wheels

Sweet wheels, but leave white to be pulled off by the right cars.

SRTie4k 03-23-2010 07:35 AM

I'm a firm believer that BBS wheels look best with the factory finish.

White BBS = no.

:: Gusto :: 03-24-2010 06:57 PM

looks okay.. i prob would have gone w/ a diff color all 2gether...

gotta dig those baby blues!!

cops like red & blue... hehehe

im sure its more the tinted tails that get u pulled over.. well that & the speeding!

jamesthebikeguy 03-24-2010 07:49 PM

^^^ I agree with gusto, Blue is where its at.

Some cars with blue wheels are just :love:

Hectik1 04-07-2010 05:21 PM

I would have left them silver. Love the wheels!:headbang:

ispypsi 04-08-2010 09:14 PM

if this car were slammed on some white te-37's, most of the haters would be jerkin off all over it. :roll:

doesn't look bad, but the tinted lenses clash with the wheel, too much contrast. those wheels with suspension would look alright with stock lenses (or "clear" lenses but i don't like those much either).

i considered the aforementioned combo on my SS, but i hate washing the stock wheels as it is, no way i'll do white ever again.

03scgt 04-08-2010 10:15 PM

wheels have been black for about 2 weeks now and dropped on h&r's ill take some new pics tomorrow.i got tired of cleaning the white,they would look ok for 2 days max

Stealth01 04-09-2010 06:18 PM

Would look great on a white one, but I'm not a fan on the silver. Any reason you didn't just get silver wheels?

SpeedSixxx 04-09-2010 06:23 PM

a copper lip with black spokeswoulda been the right choice!!

not my taste either but you don't need to be a prick about it. a hole.

I love the wheels, and the color, just not on silver. but A+ for setting yourself apart, that's what it's all about man.
