Title: photos of yellow 7 with black wheels?
Post by: Juz on December 31, 2005, 01:20:07 PM
hey folks... after a few months arguing with my insurers over the value of my car which they wrote off, i\'ve decided i can\'t be rexless any longer and have bought a nice standard yellow 7 which I collect next week.

the first thing i want to do is get some nice aftermarket wheels on which i think is all they need externally, but i\'m not entirely sure what will suit a yellow car best (as i always loved black ones in the past, and was never a fan of yellow but after seeing this one in the flesh i fell in love :D). i\'m thinking something like these for example on ebay in black with polished lip...

...but have not been able to find any photos of a yellow rex with something like these on.

so was wondering if any of you kind chaps have any pictures which might help make up my mind, or if anybody is any good with photoshop could do me a massive favour and use their wizardry to generate something?

Not yellow, but dark wheels on a yellow fd.

Gunmetal Grey wheels really suit yellow cars, I was thinking about it myself when I get a CYM series 3 later this year.

thanks for the pics chaps - i\'m not convinced black wheels are for me now (which is a good thing i realised now rather than after buying some :D) but still not sure what will work best now. i picked the car up ealier this week anyway and here is a photo of "the flying banana" today in stock form...

Yellow wheels?

Ive seen it done before...might look great with the right wheels.

If not, bronze is a good safe option!

Great looking car mate.

But I\'d avoid black alloys on that colour yellow it\'s too understated. If it was a bit more in your face yellow you might be able to pull it off.

thanks :) sort of just looks like that anyway most of the time when the wheels are caked in brake dust :D i still love the look of black wheels with polished lip but whenever i think of them on the car they just look too dark. ahh well i won\'t be purchasing the wheels for another month anyway so plenty of time to decide (and change my mind several times!).

:god

I love your car! I\'ve been tearing my hair out for what to have as my next car. I\'m currently running a yellow (Limited Edition - 500 made) FTO GPX, a Seat Leon TDi S for work, and just picked up my yellow Kawazaki ZX6R a couple of weeks ago.

I\'ve been considering an R33 GTR, R34 GTT (R34 GTR would be nice, but its a bit pricey!), S15 Silvia Spec R, and an FD3 RX7.. Having seen your car my mind has been pretty much made up!

Can I ask, what colour yellow is that? Doesn\'t look standard, also what bodykit have you got on it? Easily one of the sexiest Rexes I have ever seen! Its gorgeous :D :Thumbsup!

Edit:

Any more pics of it btw? ;)
