Yes or no , Red painted wheel pocket on Cobra?

[Darhawk]

Does this COLEEN look good or bad?
Let me know, cause it's something I thought of doing before, but never found pics until surfing last night. I thought it might be a good way to go different. I lean toward prolly not, but I need your opinions. This is not my car! I found the pics somewhere online. It's an Official Cobra with a Saleen kit on it..Hehe.

i feel like that would work really well if they werent quite as visible. the angle the wheels sit on is just a little ehh, makes the spokes look too wide.

 

[Darhawk]

Maybe I should just go with Red lug nutz! Maybe the pockets are too much? I really like the these wheels with the charcoal pockets too.

 

[belber095]

yeah the lug nuts would be subtle. you'd only be able to see them from straight on.

Every set of red lugs i have seen looked pink in the sun, something to keep in mind

 

[MustangChris]

he could paint the ones he's got too

 

[Darhawk]

Yeah Powercoat them red..I don't want that anodized look, as I wouldn't want it to be pinkish. I would have to put them on very carefully.

Question: Can you powder coat the lug nuts on my car?
Answer: Yes, but they may not fit in your lug nut socket any more. To get an effective corrosion protection on steel lug nuts, the powder needs to go on with a dry film thickness of between .003" and .006". That means the overall size of your lug nut may increase as much as .012", which may not seem much but which is more than the clearance between the nut and some sockets. We generally recommend people look to see if they can buy lug nuts in the color they desire, as those manufactured to be coated are made undersize to allow for the thickness of the coating.

I like the look maybe with done spacers and a wider tire it would look better than that one in the pics

Looks like clown shoes.

 

[Tally_4.6]

Agreed with the rice comment.

That looks like shit.

 

[Darhawk]

Looks like clown shoes.

That is funny **** right there

I think it looks like too much, to even look decent I think the color would have to match the car perfectly. If you want to add some red to your wheels maybe consider a red pinstripe around the rim?

another option is to paint the lug slots in the center cap red
