Could be but im not to big of a chrome guy myself. Think about what your girl is saying. All girls want that. Jewelry is shiny and thats a girl thing ive come to learn. If you want to do something with it slap some 17's or 18's on it but i do like the color scheme you got going.

 

If you like them and you're happy with them then thats all that really matters. But since you asked... I personally don't like the wheels. I would've kept the factory grey/silver/metal/whatever the color was. That being said I think if you put on some more coats or tried a "shinier" paint like your gf recommended then it would look better.

 

I wouldn't do it but I don't think they look that bad.

 

Shiney just says your trying to get attention IMO.

 

awesome guys! keep the replies coming. Aslo as i was sitting here thinking about the color, dont we normally see flat black on trucks? I mean i did what i thought i was going to like and i do like it, but its clicking here that ive seen a lot of tundras in particular with flat black...

 

Were you going for the flat black look? If not clear coat them, it will protect the paint and shine a bit.

IMO they just look dirty. (covered in brake dust)

When you ready to buy new rims, look up black chrome.

 

^ i second that. gunmetal is the sex.

and i HATE those eclipse stockers. it's like driving with an ANTI-lip. yuck.

 

The flat black works with the green. I dont think I've ever seen a 3g that color. Then again maybe I just havent paid attention either.

 

black chrome is not the same as Gunmetal, its like sex w/ your mistress

it changes from black to chrome at different angles.

 

Will those fit my 3kgt??????

 

yea those wheels are def the sex.

this is really just kind of a temporary thing, i def want some legit rims, but i wanted black now, and my tires still have plenty of tread. So i'll prolly upgrade sometime next year.

addtl note: i put this on 3si bc id much rather of had a 3kgt, just cant afford the repairs while in college and i got this for a steal. Also, the guys on all the 3g eclipse forums....douchebags.

thanks a ton guys

 

Also, the guys on all the 3g eclipse forums....douchebags.

I am still bitter they call it "eclipse". It is not in my eyes, but whatever. It figures the forum is douchey as well.

I like the look of flat black, but as you can see from other posts its a personal thing. A friend of mine put SL wheels (the stock 7 spoke design) on his GS-T, they were flat black and looked badass IMO.

 

My 300 has Black Chrome rims... and I love them personally. Just wish there was a little more Black to them.

The downside is when they get dirty they look like shit. Like crapy painted walmart rims, and they loose all thier shine.

They look AMAZING at night tho, can't beat the look.

But personally I would'nt ever buy Black Chrome rims for the 3000. Its just to much bling and weight.

Couple pics:

 

i'll stick to powdercoating. black chrome will still be as heavy & prone to damage as regular chrome.

besides, if you REALLY wanted secksi wheels...you'd get them painted. 2 coats metallic flake base coat + 2-3 coats pearlized color of your choice.

 

Personally I'd either like a shiny black are a silver on the car better just because I think that rims that don't have some shine to them always look dirty, but the picture that you posted really doesn't look to bad.

 

They could be better but dont look bad !!!

 

i think the bronze zigens go good with almost every color and on panama green they would look dope.

 

3rd gen base 3kgt rims are the sex for stock rims.

you should trade your eclipse rims for those.
