either the first or the 3rd...i think black on black looks goos espically with a chrome lip....it sets it off a lot more...but it's your call i think it'll look good either way

My personal pic would be set 3, but you'd have to paint your calipers to whatever color your using to theme your interior. It'd add a nice accent.

Otherwise, set 2 would work, but you should paint your calipers to black, as close to the body as possible...

But that's My personal opinion.

*EDIT* set 1 would blend into a crowd too easy, too many people have the same style. And our cars are ANYTHING but "blend in to the crowd" ordinary.

I actually really like set 3 specifically for a black celi, but generally speaking I like set 1 best.

I would go with the first or the third. I think for color, you should decide. In my opinion, your rims say much about you. You go with a chrome, then you like to cruise. You go with black, then you are hell on wheels (just more fitting for a tuner car in my opinion, especially a tuned tuner). I just went with some red rims (That really need to get painted to a darker red, but perhaps I can save up to paint with the car after my head lights and such). No one in town has my rims, and I am noticed either hated or loved. Whether people love it or hate it, no one can deny that it's original.

The first is very common...it's a good look, but won't stand out any more.

The third is good. Chrome lips aren't my first choice, but they are good looking wheels.

I think the second is the most up to date and would look very good with painted calipers.

thanks to the opinions, but i still dont know which one to choose. there's the few that like the 1st set and then there's the few that thinks the 1st set is too common. then we have the few with the black on black lust, but not too much is said about the 2nd set (probably uncommon). im just looking for something eye catching, something that stands out for i'll b doing more cruizin than tunin. any more opinions??

the 2nd one is the best i think they are Enkei RSV's. The first is ok but a common looking wheel. I'm not too much of a fan of a chrome lip. Unless they are deep dished for drift cars.
