Rim selection re 500 tehehe
 
With the 09 GT500 I went with the all black look and thought that was a killer look for that particular model i.e. paint, rims limo tint etc. With the new 500 and it being black I am thing maybe chrome might be the way to go. Whatcha think boys and girls. Oh my current 500 is black with a very small amount of chrome if that helps any

Chrome always looks good with black, as lot as you don't get carried away. I also have always liked a little flat black accent with gloss black as well...but those are my tastes.

If I went chrome it would just be the rims and exhaust tip

Whitelion95GT 05-04-2012 08:08 PM

I think your 500 with chrome rims would look BOSS!!

Call me old school, but any muscle car, and particularly a black one, looks good with nice, shiny, chrome Cragar five spoke wheels.

Get chrome Saleen SSC's :tup

ChadStang 05-04-2012 10:20 PM

I say black but I can't believe you bought another black car

SNAKEBITE 05-05-2012 12:39 AM

Haha that's true I guess

1low03gt 05-05-2012 06:01 PM

Since it's your only transportation, i say chrome, black rims would be a huge pain in the ars to keep clean day to day!

SNAKEBITE 05-06-2012 06:48 AM

^^^good point but remember the car will go approx 100k's per month as I do not work = yeah and my wife rides the elevator to work.

1low03gt 05-06-2012 09:06 AM

True, but as much as I drive my gt, which is not a lot, I would not ever do black rims again! I actually have been thinking about getting chrome fr500's cause chrome is so much easier to keep clean lol.

SNAKEBITE 05-06-2012 04:52 PM

I agree with you and am leaning to chrome lol^^^^

1low03gt 05-06-2012 05:28 PM

That's what you got to do, is take past expiriences, and learn from them.
Same reason i will never do a black vehicle ever again, but yet it is my top favourite colour! But after owning two black cars, i had it with the constant detailing needs that colour needed...... :banghead:

SNAKEBITE 05-07-2012 10:15 AM

see I am a big dummy cause I am on number 3 re black bwah

1low03gt 05-07-2012 05:54 PM

You must be a sucker for black lmao!

SNAKEBITE 05-08-2012 03:26 PM

up until now yes but I have not had chrome since the 05 and thought it might make a nice change re chrome

1low03gt 05-08-2012 07:22 PM

There you go :)

NickGT 05-16-2012 07:03 PM

I hope you're still coming out for wednesday nights! I'm missing tonights (car is dirty anyway). But I'll be showing starting next week for sure. Bring the new 500!!

SNAKEBITE 05-17-2012 05:05 PM

I will but it will be hiding well away from the show. I do not want to be one of those turds that show up with a Neon or 90's style Grand Prix if you know what I mean. Ross is back in the hospital (went to see him today) and having heart surgury tomorrow am. If the weathe ris good and he feels better we might come next Wed weather permitting of coarse.

Did you sell the house and move to Lakeview?

Geezus. Well when you see him next, let him know I hope he gets better soon! Yup I'm just about settled in Lakeview. Been here 2 month'ish now. It's awesome. I'm 2 minutes or less from the casino LOL easily walking distance. You'll have to swing by after the show for the tour haha!

SNAKEBITE 05-17-2012 10:15 PM

or since Ross and I get there at 1pm maybe before

NickGT 05-18-2012 03:48 PM

Sounds good to me!

NickGT 05-27-2012 09:11 PM

Garage renovation has started (I have gutted it completely) so my car is no longer easily accessible (it's parked at a buddies). I won't be showing until middle of season now. :-( You should have wheels on the 500 by then???

SNAKEBITE 05-28-2012 05:01 PM

Sounds like fun re: reno's. If I was healthier I would volunteer to help since I am retired and bored out of my friggen skull.
