evil_O Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 OK. I have decided that I want the Rota Formula Mesh in 18x8. Originally I wanted the steel grey finish. I think I still do buuuut..... I got to thinking about complimentary colors. My wife is a graphic designer and knows about the color theory. So.. knowing the answer, I said, orange is the color of blue right? She says yes. Now, my ride is Atlantic Blue. I cannot fathom putting on orange with this... I think it would look "Bronco-esque" or dumb. But then we started talking about values of orange. One of which is gold/copper/bronze. Before the subie I would have NEVER thought of putting gold/copper/bronze on a car - it just did not seem like my thing. Now I find myself thinking about it.... is this odd? lol So, the question is... what do you all think about the Rota Formual Mesh in gold... on the Atlantic Blue? I am going to put pinks on eventually.. prolly before the wheels... but this is now on my mind. Maybe I just need to have the wife photochop the wheels on. Unless that is, someone has them/gold/copper/bronze wheel on an Atlantic Blue ride. What are the opinions of this combination? Mind you I have done a bit of a search. I have found some but none on a wagon and none that show the wheel real clearly - in good light. I guess in theory it sounds good. It would be more "flashy" than the steel grey .... hmmm.. just rambling at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Actually....we have alot in common. My fiancee is a graphic designer as well and I have an AB wagon too. This shade of blue has alot of grey to it.....a charcoal color seems to work very well. I have had Volk's in anthracite as well as the current P1's in anthracite. I am getting a set of Rota Formula's in the new 'charcoal' color....we'll see how they look. They are clones of these: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/PatagonianGT/STiBBSRE.jpg Here are pics of mine with each set. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/PatagonianGT/DSCN3247.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/PatagonianGT/DSCN3180.jpg Here is Sube555's AB wagon with bronze Tarmac II's: http://homepage.mac.com/futureofx/.Pictures/NEWGT/TarmacIIWheels/GT3.jpg http://homepage.mac.com/futureofx/.Pictures/NEWGT/TarmacIIWheels/GTColorMatch.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_O Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 PGT - I had seen those wheels before but I did not realize they were the bronze tarmacs... very interesting. I agree the color has a lot of grey in it.. if I look close at the pearl it seems to have a bit of copper (?) fleck in it too...or maybe it is just my eyes... It does sound like we have a lot in common. Is your fiance a brunette? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
