so I have an extra set of 18" "project" pegs and I'm thinking of doing the orange trimmed pegs to compliment my atacama interior....which do you prefer

"Orange"

"Light Edge"

"Dark Edge"

Orange on the car

PS...I hope aftermath686 doesn't mind that I photoshopped some of his very nice photos....

Re: Which pegs do you prefer??? (mehran05)

I'd say light edge.. but with anything like that it's hard to get it perfect and usually doesn't come out how you'd want it. How about low gloss black the whole peg?

I wouldn't mess with the Pegs. Orange rims might be a bit too much for a Volvo

I prefer the originals.. but I am a very simple wheel man.

Don't do the orange. It's only going to look decent when the car is parked and setup for a beauty photo with the doors open and what not. The rest of the time you're going to be the clown driving around town in the gray Volvo with orange wheels. http://********************/smile/emthdown.gif

i prefer a solid gunmetal or anthracite finish all around, but if you have those orange Brembo's, the orange accents may not look bad. Keep in mind, any painted wheel looks much worse when it gets dirty, IMHO.

Re: (T5 for Life)

Keep the wheels stock and paint the "R" orange to match the calipers (not the interior). It's more subtle and yet, "custom"

Re: (S60R1)

I really like the orange calipers, but I think I prefer the original Peg. The caliper is just enough color, the colored wheel would just be too much. IMO

Need a practice peg to test out painting and different designs? I got one painted black that can be sanded down and refinished for cheap

+1!!
Did you do repaint the calipers yourself or are those swapped from a G series infiniti/nissan Z ?

 

[mehran05]

They're just photoshop-ed. I'm planning to paint them with this: http://g2usa.com/images/orange.jpg

Re: (mehran05)

Matching outside to atacama looks pretty bad IMO, considering everybody calls it 'peanut' interior, do you really want peanut wheels/brakes especially on a volvo?

Re: Which pegs do you prefer??? (mehran05)

You know I've been looking at the 1st picture for a while and if done correctly it may not look that bad.

I would make sure the "orange" part is semi-gloss at best, not gloss.
It could look interesting

I can't believe I'm going to say this but....

+1 on the orange!!
