Bump.

that's lame and not thoughtful

I'd add that option (overused) but don't know how to edit a poll.

you can't. i just think they're ok i mean they're cool and all but everyone has them for every car. It was cool back like 3 years ago when it was a black car with black rims but now its just overused and not really cool anymore.

Meh, if you think that your cars different, then just think theres somewhere out there that has almost the exact same setup as you.
As far as the FM or BCP goes with black rims, I think its too much black. I would really like a black on gold. Thatd be sweet.

Anyways I like the black rims look (on csm anyways) so I was thinking about powercoating mine (the optional 18s from the dealer) but I like the way they are now too...What do you all think?

Physicists struggled with this problem, which later became known as the ultraviolet catastrophe, unsuccessfully for many years. In 1900, Max Planck developed a new theory of black body radiation that explained the observed spectrum correctly. Planck's theory was based on the idea that black bodies emit light (and other electromagnetic radiation) only as discrete bundles or packets of energy. These packets were called quanta, and the particle of light was given the name photon, to correspond with other particles being described around this time, such as the electron and proton. A photon has an energy, E, proportional to its frequency, f, by
E = hf = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \,\!
where h is Planck's constant, λ is the wavelength and c is the speed of light. Likewise, the momentum p of a photon is also proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength:
p = { E \over c } = { hf \over c } = { h \over \lambda }.
E = hf = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \,\!
where h is Planck's constant, λ is the wavelength and c is the speed of light. Likewise, the momentum p of a photon is also proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength:
p = { E \over c } = { hf \over c } = { h \over \lambda }.
E= hv
v = frequency
λ = wavelength
h = Planck's constant = 6.626*10^-34 joules*second
v*λ = c = speed of light ~ 3*10^8 m/s
This in turn makes v and λ inversely proportional to each other.
" p= E/c = hv/c = h/λ "
We arrived at E/c = hv/c because E = hv as was given.
We arrived at hv/c = h/λ because c = λ*v as was given which can be rearranged into (v/c) = λ which is substituted in that last part.
I'm not entirely sure what he means by
" E = hf = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \,\! "
Perhaps he is trying to use different variables to equal E.
E= hv = h(c/λ) <-- that last part is taken by substituting from v*λ = c
Well this all makes sense to me at 1 in the morning. I don't entirely understand the theory behind black bodies all that well either, but these basic equations make it easy to simply substitute variables (thank god thats all i have to know).
Oh and I believe that black works on some cars, not all, its dependent on the style.
