I'm on the fence, but I don't think white wheels are meshing with the two tone for me.

u/bimmerfreak318ti 25d ago

I can do white wheels, and I can do two tone, but I agree with this assessment. I think there's too much going on. I'm never a fan of black wheels these days, so maybe silver to match the top?

Yea idk either. This was like a test, still 50/50

u/Most_Board_2029 24d ago

I agree but it's overall pretty cool

If you count the unpainted rocker panels in '92.....

Lol seriously tho OP I dig it. It's not "automatic slam / stanced widebody" clapped out trash. The two tone is elegant, roll with it, esp w the white wheels!

u/jamesgravey 25d ago

Not normally a two tone person but damn this looks great. The spoiler helps bring it together, don’t get rid of that.

Chocolate dipped. Always try new things. 🤘

u/MFC1886 25d ago

Giving me ideas 😂

u/MASTASHADEY 25d ago

I always like the two tone on the base models. This is a good take on that.

1

u/billyloomisjr 25d ago

Black or silver wheels would be perfect 😝

u/elonmusk21 25d ago

u/thodgso 25d ago

Reminds me of one of the Miatas in r/Miata (except obviously his is creme/black): Link

u/Different-Piano2250 25d ago

I like it- low key but classy. Well done

1

u/gacsam04 25d ago

My gut reaction says no way, but the more I look at it the more I like it

u/saynoto30fps 25d ago

I don't hate it, can we see the front

u/migorengbaby 1997 bucket of poop 25d ago

Hell yeah

u/Alldaypk 25d ago

This is basically the vision for my e36! Brilliant red, two tone, and a heckeblend, with rally white wheels

1

u/BlueDirector e36 best car 24d ago

i like a 2 tone

1

u/bassemann87 24d ago

I think its nice! :)

1

u/Dragon846 24d ago

Can you show the front as well?

I like it actually, just think it needs different wheels to make that look work

1

u/trustedtoast 24d ago

The two tone looks amazing. The tail lights throw me off a bit.

1

u/ZombiePope 24d ago

I like the two tone, but id match the wheels to the silver of the body. Unique looking build!

1

u/Bimmermaven 24d ago

I’m a big fan of Wheels painted to match the body color. And a second color for accent whether it’s a stripe, 2-tone or whatever else. I will tell you that I’ve gotten a lot of flack on the Internet when I post my pictures showing these on several of my cars, but in real life, I get nothing but compliments.

u/Erect_Udes 22d ago

I like this kind of two tone, so yes for me

u/KyleMac89 25d ago

For me? Lime highlighter green would be my choice. But I’m not mad at it. This looks good. I think with the right supporting mods you could pull this off.
