If you paint your wheels pink and now you are interested in taking a big one up the but you got bigger problem then wheels .check out www.imiahomo.com/pinkwheels
I say go with what she wants, not off the varied opinions of the members of a forum. Hell, some of the people here shoot down anything that isn't just like theirs and their buddy's and everyone elses in their car club.
Ms. metals wheels are pink, hers are cool, if a dude put pink wheels on, he could be gay. I'm not sure what "ghey" is though, is that like metrosexual? HMMMMMMMMMMMM
So, you consider a '59 Caddy a "hot rod"? Certainly the most beautiful pink Caddy on the planet....but I would not call it a hot rod....a custom yes, but hot rod?? I don't think so. And look at these NON-pink wheels.
I was waiting for this reponse. I think it'll look awfully campy, and not in the good way. Flat black with pink wheels? Nah. But, I think if it was painted a suitable pink color, it could be cool. A couple cool shots of pink HOT RODS (not customs) in this thread. Pink is one of my most fave colors. Just not on any of my cars.
Oh, man...that won't be happening in my house. With a wife and two daughters, a guy has to have some place to declare "the estrogen free zone"
Its your chicks car so she will be driving it and thats radical to begin with. There are millions of different shades of pink so I am sure youll find a gnarly color that would not look "Ghey" I say do it who gives a shit about what people think anyway they don't have to drive it your woman does and her car should reflect her.
as Steven Tyler sang "Pinnnk is My Favorite Color" I dont think he was talking about cars though at the same time pink n black goes back a long time. have you considered gloss black n pink?
I just dont like black car with pink wheels. It just doesnt look right to me. She will like the car no matter what color the wheeels are if she is to turn into a real car gal.
My personel opinion would be to shy away from the pink highlight color (ie black with pink wheels) There are so many kool factory 50's/early 60's colors that would be very eye catching. If you are in love with black, how about black with a coral colored wheel? Maybe you can get a pale type pink. I think it would be less gaudy on the eyes. I think my wifes car looks nice, and it is all pink. But again, it is a pretty pale pink.... Pictures in my album. Good luck...
Damn... One thing about the Hamb, just when you thought an idea was bad, somebody convinces you otherwise.....
Well I read all the posts so far ......looked at both sides.....and I think that if your a lucky enough fellow to have the Mrs. involved in a mutual hobby and wants to be involved and doesn't bitch about garage time ......well brother if she wants them babys shartruce go for for it ..........your still better off than most.......god bless the Bettys....
Well, you could always sell it to a dude in Japan if it doesn't work out. Dudes over here wear the most feminine blousy shirts in pink AND big hair clips...also in pink. They have more shit in their hair than the women. I call them fashion clowns, but I digress...
