Gunmetal rims on darker cars, including red, does not look as good on lighter cars. There is just not enough contrast and the car ends up looking a little too ghetto....just my $.02

Yea gunmetal rims are not that great looking IMO. I don't know I think silver just looks so much cleaner.

yeah I agree that gunmetal by itself looks a bit ghetto. try finding something with a silver lip or maybe bronze rims would look better.

yeah, i like how the rims look on TRDCelicaST's car. the silver seems like a good color for the red car and i like how they sort of flow with the headlights, euro side markers and turns, and the fogs. i have all of that except the fogs and i think it will look good. any other rim suggestions though? im looking at mr7's for now until someone can change my mind.

IMO and also like what gh0st_D0g also said, get a a black rim (hyperblack) I think with a chrome tip/lip. Thats would look very clean IMO. I am wishing to get those kinds but I'm so broke.
I personnel like this rim http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/v8gm-sm.gif This post has been edited by hs2g: Jan 11, 2005 - 7:53 PM |

i dont really like hyper black rims. to me, it just seems like the rims arent even there and blend in too much. anyone know what rims tufy has? i think those look pretty damn good.

I disagree. I have a red car w/ gunmetal with a chrome lip, and i think it's sexcellent. I don't care for those motegi's or any motegis. Their a cheap wheel and it shows.
As for silver, silver is so cheap looking. Chrome, gunmetal, flat black, or metallic black. Pick one or a combo of those -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife
