How to make glowing rims?

[WLH]

I can't imaging why anyone would want glowing rims but they are illegal anyway in Pennsylvania... olice:
and well they should be...

diplomat, save yourself 60% of the cash those merchants are charging, and buy from a site like this:
http://www.glonation.com/pigmented-glow-paint.html

1kg from them costs 250euro, where from the site above it's only 101euro!

Excellent mod. Im going to place an order for enough to paint the whole car. Would go well with my other planned mods of Audi style running lights, all round //M badges and a magic tree .........

I'm originally from a place called Essex (which wont mean much to you) so my opinions are generally bias in favour of glowing lights and shiney things.

However, I think you have the wrong car if you want glowing wheels

diplomat, seems these are consider a little gauche by the chaps and certainly not my cup of tea. However, that's just my opinion. I say if you like it, why not? It's your car!

Would help you stand out from the crowd and once you've got it out of your system (seen the light!) you can always go back to something a little less... well, you know

If you really are serious, you may want to get a pair of used rims and do in the refurb - you may need the originals for resale.

Do you have a facelift? What state of modding is the car in now? Pics? You may want to consider spending the money on a carbon rear diffuser 8)

why not go for the lovely 3 spoke rims they proudly show on their website - it was a nice reminder on how shi* 3 spoke rims were actually, i almost forgot.

I would love to see a set on a z4 !

Not all, IMO - absolutely loved (and still do) the Saab 900 Turbo Aero - looking good on 3 spokes!

diplomat - I think easty's Zed is a perfect example of how subtly varying from the run of the mill can give great results

They deserve a second chance for sure. I mean, compared to those 19's on your car, what would you honestly prefer? Looking at that link, they centainly seem to corrode less than 108's pmsl

i say do it and let us all see the result! haha

Do you think that the result will be ridiculous? Yes, Z4 is not that car where glowing rims will look pretty good, cuz the car itself is awesome!!!

I'm not sure that they are illegal in Pennsylvania. Luminophore is a safe material, it is not rad. So it can't be illegal.

Mee-OW! :lol:

I just wanted to know if you like the idea or not?

you really have to ask? :thumbsdown:

What's that got to do with the price of fish? A plastic flashing blue light isn't radioactive but you wouldn't be allow to have one on your car :?

i think it looks horrible on any car, it should be illegal and if anyone does it they should also be legally obliged to have their face painted the same and only be allowed out at night

it'll be a nice effect with the bright blue LED screen washers and 6" exhaust 8)

dont forget the coloured wiper blades, colour to match under car neons

 

[TH3R4POR]

oooh, I haven't seen coloured wiper blades! :lol:

 

[Rudd]

you can see them coming out of hiding after dark in most supermarket car parks

you know, you could also cut out a elongated dragon from vinyl and stick that down the side too... to finish the whole look off
