Call me crazy, but I was throwing around the idea of changing up the color of the wheels on my Delica. I have a set of alloys that need help, and i was thinking of plastidipping them. Before I do that though could someone photoshop my van with some odd wheel colors, like orange, yellow,red,whatever? I may not do anything, but I was wondering what it may look like with some odd color as a temporary thing. Plasti-dip isn't permanent,correct?

Werd and QFT.

Those white wheels match the white of the lower body perfectly.

Unless you color-matched the UPPER body color and painted them to match that, the white is perfect.

I love the white wheels, but was thinking about how it would look with other colors. Again I am not sure I am going to do anything, but I wanted to see what it would look like with other colors.

White looks good but I also like the orange and yellow...I think orange looks best.

Right down Rt 106 in East Bridgewater.

I also explained the Rotary in the Repu to my son I believe it was last year.

I didn't want to stare to long at the Delicas interior due to the kids eating dinner in there.

My three y/o had me pick her up to see what daddy was looking at!

How haven't I met you either??? Or have we? I live right nearby. There are lots of us GRM'ers in the Hanover-to-Carver area. I'm right in Middleboro, centrally located near all the junkyards in Southeastern MA.

Oh, and you better keep that Delica just the way it is! It is nothing short of majestic. The white wheels make the van even more awesome.

I meant to add to my post last night. Of the colors the yellow actually does look pretty good.

I was also just breakin balls on your inquiry (I know you like the white too) and looking for an excuse to post a silly image

The heads on the 400 in my Trans Am are from Dave Zion's "personal collection".

I really do like the white wheels, but I really did want a look at how the van appeared in different colored shoes. I thought the orange would look better than it did, and I am a sucker for orange wheels, but I agree the yellow is the best of the 'shops. I guess I would have to see how the alloys look in that shade before doing anything, but it is interesting. I doubt I do any of it, but I do like odd colored wheels on vehicles at times.
