Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
Just painted the rally rims on my 66. Going for the drag truck/push truck/hotrod truck look. I want opinions...good or bad. No worries about warnings from the mods. Don't hold back. GF sez they're fugly. Should I stay with yellow, or go white, or dark gray? Should I go with the trim rings...and/or rally caps...or necked? BTW, the front end is up cause the engine was pulled to rebuild. What say you...

After.

I like the gray on gray also. If you're looking for a contrast go white.

I say put some trim rings and run it as is.... Here is a pic of what black looks like. Too hard to see the wheel design.......

That color is definitly a attention getter!!! WOW, I think I would have stuck with the gray or something a little less bright. What it all boils down to is what you like cause your driving it. I do like the eyeballs.

I like these caps and trim rings.

I would shoot for something different due to the color of your truck. No harm in trying something on for size.:lol:

I vote for the gray or black I just think it looks better that way.

Put them back the way it was. I don't mind the different colors (I had red ralleys on a satin blk Camino years ago), but that color just doesn't work for me.

Ok, ok, my GF is bustin a gut. She's sayin "I told you so". Thanks guys. So, 12 nay votes here and 23 nay votes on HAMB. Only 1 yea vote out of 36. No harm in tryin. Good thing I only painted two rims. Where's that charcoal grey rattle can.

Charcoal grey all the way!

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
If what you're after is a bit of contrast and more of a performance look, I think painting the rims a color of white that matches the top would look good. Certainly silver or gray is more conventional and mainstream, and looks fancier with the trim rings. Personally I like the Mooneyes and the nose high stance. Looks like 60's performance.

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
IMO it looked better before, to me it's the shade of yellow that makes me want to retch, at least a center cap and beauty ring would lessen the impact to the eyes. If you just want to be noticed try a glow in the dark color with black lighting under the fenders. At least a beauty ring would help break up the color distortion. But I'm an old coot so who's to say, IMO my daughter's boyfriend looks like he fell face first into a tackel box but she likes it.

Try gunmetal.

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
I'm partial to gray also.....that's what mine are. The yellow might work if your truck was a different color and you put the center caps and rings on them.

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
Well the gray looks good but you need to post a pic of the yellow with the center cap and rings on i think that will break it up real good and may look allot better sweet truck by the way!

lakeroadster 10-12-2009 08:14 AM

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
I totally get what you're after & suggest you put the trim rings and center caps on it. Like others have said it will break up the yowza effect of the yellow. Should look killer!

BreathnFumes 10-12-2009 09:32 AM

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
White w/ yellow accent maybe.

akubovic 10-12-2009 09:59 AM

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
I like the yellow with the eyeballs!! Looks great! Would look even better with trim rings and caps. Would tone it down just right. Rock the yeller:metal: ... Showed my old man, he says yellow if that helps.

MacAttack 10-12-2009 12:20 PM

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
:metal: I think that color kicks butt! :metal:

Just put some chrome accessories on them and drive that sucker!

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
Ok I gotta go with the yellow as well. You must have liked something about it to even try it, so go with it, drive the heck out of it!

mikie 1954 10-12-2009 01:15 PM

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
NOT YELLOW. second picture looks best in my thinking . gunmetal would be nice, i think. by the way, next time put the trash cans up, it looks like you thru the truck out with the trash.

63deluxfleet 10-12-2009 01:44 PM

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
imo i say that the yellow is way too busy. i would go for a champainge color if i was to do it. but hey if u like it then cool! nobody will steal them at least jk

ClassicAutoResto 10-12-2009 02:14 PM

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted

I think the yellow goes awesome with the gray truck and the moon eyes sticker just tops it off. did you try the trim rings and hub caps with the yellow it might town it down a little if you think it is to bright?

kizer 10-12-2009 05:12 PM

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
I think Yellow would of looked nice on a black rig, but man the before picture the wheels looked pretty sweet.

sick69 10-12-2009 05:55 PM

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
Are you thinking of adding any other color to the body or the truck? If so then use that color on the wheels also. If not then I would go with the body color and the rings and caps. Black is to hard to see the detail of the wheels.


An idea that just flashed,,,,,,

What about using the body color for the wheels with a dosage of blue or silver pearl in in the clear?

I did feel the color tied in well w/the moon-eye's decal. Maybe w/the trim on the wheels it won't be so BOLD.

Re: Painted my Rally's...Opinions Wanted
 
Just to be different, I think that it would look pretty cool with deep candy apple red on the rims with the chrome trim. That would put a twist on the red rim craze and would look pretty good with the silver finish on your truck. The only problem is the price of the paint. ;)
