What the heck. Talk about odd taste.

I did see something interesting. One side of the car has black rims and the other has orange. In this application its Fugly but bare with me here.

Imagine some really nice wheels like volk, work, enkei etc powder coated a nice color but two different colors on the same CRZ. You can't see both sides at the same time so this would be interesting.

You could only rotate tires front to back but with some graphics you could get some major attention.

Years ago I saw this done at a car show. I think it was a red mini with white racing stripes. On one side they had white wheels and on the other side they had gloss black. The side with the black wheesl had a black pint stripe and the side with the white wheels had a white pint stripe. It was done very well.

Someone here needs to do this if they are refinishing some wheels. Cool wheel site. http://www.mozwheels.com/gallery.php

A silver car with a bunch of black graphics would be cool on the driver side go with a gloss black and on the passenger side go with a bright silver. Or something like that.

Maybe I just need to go to bed. I am not thinking straight.

The car has bad enough blind spots without you painting the whole rear window.
