mpearce1974 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 All black wheels fail. Don't go there! (although they are pretty damn nice wheels). I think gold wheels always look good on samba sols... I wish I could find these again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MChester Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I think a dark wheel would look best on the Samba. I really like my Enkei RPF1 type 2s in charcoal gray. Not cheap but very good quality and very light. My 17s weigh the same as my stock 15s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of anodizing the SRI in black. Then it will look like black chrome as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpearce1974 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 I am also looking for carpet, but I need input from some one who has actually used the seller and carpet they recommend. I am picky as hell and it has to be perfect, or I will hunt you down and keel you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 lol wish I could help with the carpet but don't know any... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpearce1974 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 lol wish I could help with the carpet but don't know any... After closer inspection carpet is good just heel pad area is gone, so new floor mats and a good cleaning after I take it out and install Fat Mat from Fire wall to below rear window, and do my stereo wiring will do the trick! Ordered Fat Mat, and CD Player today! Already have amp, Alpine TypeR components, and nice amp install kit from a former project I never used it on!

SpeedDemon Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 there is a guy here locally with a set of the third ones from the left(second row of pics, 4 spoke) wants 150 for them. they are white lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpearce1974 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Thanks for the help on the rims Sarah, I have not seen any like my old ones since I bought them! I am wanting to stay with a darker rim to go with my smoke, and black theme. The 5 spoke Drags are ones I am considering, I cant stand solid colored rims! Windows are getting tinted 20%, tails smoked, and I already did black aux lights and head lights. I got my quote on getting 2 1\4" exhaust from new header to tip. Was $300.00, custom bent piping FTW!

airjordan223 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 i agree, the few spokes, the wider they need to be for the sol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpearce1974 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 I beg to differ with ya on that. Especially if I had these. Not worth 5 lug conversion, and buying 2 sets so all 4 rims were the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 i love my drag wheels well as far as the spoke convo.. when i had the thicker spoke white rims the LOOKED like 17's.. with the thinner spoke 17s i have now they dont look so big.. most people think they are 16s or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannaBstuntin Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'd normally say gold on Samba, but with your dark theme, black FTW. And what the fudge Mike. Gosh darn your bay cleaning abilities. Darn them to heck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
