HOME-MADE 17" time attacks (bad idea?)

[Bryson]

getting bored of my car..im sure it would look better than the photoshop..

just to spice things up a bit until i get some real wheels...(a year or longer)

any input??

i would do red calipers to match

yes..i know..my car..do what i want..but i just wanted to see what you guys thought

back to back comparison with current set-up (black wheels slightly different but same size)

[atop]

bro ima be really honnest...red stripe is done...
paint it matt black and slam that mofo with spacers if not allready.

[Sharkfin]

I don't think it makes the car look better, but its always up to you man.

[BSig A4]

i think it would look sweet dude
either do the time attack or do the matteblack!!!

[redkid's b6]

I think you should go for it but instead of a red stripe go with a blue one and paint your calipers blue too

[CoreyRandmetz]

would look good.

[D.C. Designs]

I vote either a matte or gloss black ^ not a bad idea either :)

[Pworld]

being that i had 3 of the first time attack volk sets in the country, and we currently have a set on our shop car. I cant stand this "time attack" trend. Its played.

But i have to say that photoshop didnt look bad on your car. I said to myself "that doesnt look half bad". I still wouldnt risk it.

i don't think that color blue looks good at all with black wheels and especially not red pin stripes. could you maybe do this with colors that match better together? How about gunmetal and then "time-attack" it with a darker blue or gold or orange or something. Personally I'd keep them stock or maybe do gunmetal sans pinstripe, but thats just me.

[fusionx]

id just paint them / powdercoat them flat black, i think that would look sick
i say no on the red line

How and why did a stripe around a wheel become synonomous with A time attack? As stupid as this question sounds, I'm actually quite serious.

"time attack" was the name of the wheel (I think it was a Volk) that first did the pinstripe like that, so the volk time attack is sort of credited with starting the trend and became synonomous with it...

edit: yep, it was this wheel, volk ce28n "time attack":

[juggernaut201]

can someone do a good photoshop of those wheels black on a black a4?

[AudiWxGuy]

Aight...So I was able to find your car color and do a better Photoshop. However, the site I took this pic from put a logo up on the rear tire area, so I couldn't do the pinstripe on the back. You get the idea. I think it could look pretty good. It's more a matte black..

[Tru NY Player]

^^nope..
if youre going to go with a better scheme that will accentuate the pin stripe..our guesses are as good as yours..
but if youre doing it just to do it..try and go with a different color combo..

I saw a white 911 last night that had matte black wheels with a white time attack stripe. It looked pretty fantastic, but I think it was because there was an overarching theme between the white stripe and the white car. I think whoever said blue stripe with blue calipers to match the blue car might be on to something.

[juggernaut201]

def go with the blue time attack stripe bro ... 4 sureee ... red and blue are jus gunna clash nd look weird IMHO

[AudiWxGuy]

If the OP will post an original shot of his car from the side, I can do that for him later today.

[HOFFY11]

i do not think those black rims look good on your car..but it is a nice car and good luck

[Bllzll]

dont do red time attack on blue car... looks very superman'ish

[B7A4Sport]

Maybe MOFSteel should do it!!!

Bryson, you have great taste, and this surprises me a bit - I think you should try out the matte black, but I'm with the others in that the "time attack" stripe is getting a bit played. I'd save your money and put it toward a new set of wheels instead of messing w/ the stock ones, but that's just me.

I'm still considering yanking my car apart and sending you my lights, btw!

[Bryson]

agreed, but guys...my car is dolphin grey!

haha maybe the pic is making it look blue but its deffinately dolphin grey, i would never consider red on a blue car haha

heres side pic


thanks for all the feedback fellas

i was thinking of the blue calipers and such, but not sure how it would look..

No, no, no, we weren't talking about your ride Bryson. We were talkin' about the pic of the blue one a few posts up - we aren't color-blind, promise!

[jdubbs119]

ive done this to my car, my car doesn't have the 5 spokes tho, me and a frend did them...

[Sal_B7]

Bryson i think if you just left them matte black the wheels would be fine. A lot of people have that look (including myself) but it looks good! lol I painted my calipers black and i think it looks really good. Not sure if you remember my car or not but just having them black makes it look real clean. I have seen others with unpainted calipers and you can see the rust and just doesnt make it look good.

But cool stuff with the photoshop a good way of being able to try things out before you actually get them.

[G18]

i vote flat black

getting creative with the center cap may be a good option. good way to add individuality but easy enough to change if you ever get tired of it.



and a quick pshop.



and one more since i already had the pic open, somewhat of a dolphin ta theme

[juggernaut201]

i think that looks damn good imo im gunna do like that to my wheels on my black a4 just like the pic b4 this post

great idea man, thanks for the p-shop!

i added blue calipers and..well not sure..

[Bryson]

alright!

its blue versus red..

i wont be doing a stripe of any kind, the whole whhel will be black

heres a comparo of the calipers

[Audi Juice]

If you do painted calipers, I say silver or black. If you have serious hardware behind the wheels then you can pull off flashy colors, but it just looks poser to me otherwise. If I must chose between the two though, I vote red

[juggernaut201]

i did mine black .... but mayb match it to the car the best you can .... itll look good and youll b unique

[Bryson]

alrighty!

so i painted my spare and threw it on, then taped a blue piece of paper over the caliper, heres some shots(front wheel is p-shopped)

i like the blue, different..

[Audi Juice]

Wheels look good. I say paint the rest. I know the reason why the blue is different. I think it is because not that many people have it. Then you have to ask why dont many people do it. I think I know the answer

[Audi Juice]

Wait is your spare a B6 sport wheel? Different than your stockers right?

[juggernaut201]

yea im still not crazy about the blue i mean if u like it fuk it thats all that matters but i jus feel it looks a lil ricey i dunno

[juggernaut201]

p.s. thats a damn good photoshop lmao i had no idea i had 2 go bak nd read it lol

[silvr2.0t]

has anybody that has dolphin grey or quartz grey thought about doing a batman theme type deal? best pic i could find but i think it looks a lot better than blue

[Alkemix]

What about bronze on the calipers against the black wheel? Something I've been thinking about recently.

[Sal_B7]

Doesnt look too bad Bryson. I mean its up to you. if you like it Rock it!! That yellow on black doesnt look too bad. I saw yellow calipers on a red avant but he had a BBK and he had black rims. Look pretty tight!
