Title: Empi 5's
Post by: Turtle001 on September 27, 2006, 22:05:50 pm
i made up my mind -- i'm gonna keep my empis -- no i'm hesitating for the color

1. GUN GREY

2. GOLD

3. ALU COLOR

i kind of like the gold one -- but is this an original empi color?

Gold is my choice but it depends on what colour your car is

i think your car looks absolutely stunning already!  8)

and i definitely dig the empi 5s, glad you're keeping them. what wrong with the colour now, they look amaaaaaaazing!

but if you insist... though i think that gold will look a little odd on your capri blue...

If it was the Olympics, what would you chose? Gold or silver?  ;)

In my opinion capri blue doesn't match with gold ... grey would be better

Gold really contrasts in a bad way. Go grey/gunmetal

I personally like the grey best no matter what, but I have to agree that gold + blue doesn't sound like a good match

grey seems to be the best choice between the two colors.
I prefer them mat aluminium when them come from sand blasting, and letting them some days outside to weather the aluminium

are you gonna polish the rims? if so i don't envy that job ;)


Title: Re: Empi 5's
Post by: jick on September 30, 2006, 13:47:36 pm
they're all done now, that pic is a few months old......

and yeah...that job sucked.

i think i met you at Stonor this year, me & lids were checking out your buggy and you came over.

are you building a cal-look car also?...i saw your post about the buggy bars,  they're very cool & i'm looking to find a set for my 64 gasser project.

Hey Buddy I remember - How you doin?  :)

So how long did the rims take? My Cal Parts took about 15 hours per wheel !!!! :(

And in answer to your question - I sure am building a "Looker" its gonna be a little bit special  ;) and yep I want to fit buggy bars but I thnk they will have to be "Hand made" if I want them to look right.

drop me a line at monki772003@yahoo.co.uk sometime

Cath ya soon dude  :)
