Perfect color wheels?

Ok... I need help..

I'm used to my old graphite grey gts.. The new ralliart is cosmic blue.. I have absolutley no clue what color wheels to get.. I have looked through the pix and not getting inspired..

Black seems to be to blah.

Hubby say's gold..

I kind of like white..

What do you think looks best with the cosmic blue? Any pix?

First of all its going to depend on the style of wheel imo. Black would look good but everyone including myself has black wheels these days. You wont be real different than others unless you go with a bright color like red, green, orange, etc which is where the style of wheel will come into play. Silver, gold, bronze, and polished wheels will also all look good but a pretty much the norm for wheels now. I wouldnt suggest white for the simple reason, I had white wheels at one time and they are impossible to keep clean. I literally cleaned my wheels twice a day so they didnt pit or discolor from the road grime or the brake dust.

According to my grade-school color-wheel the complimentary color to BLUE is ORANGE. :}

Not big of fan of crazy colors, i would go with silver or bronze for cosmic blue they will always look stylish, unlike colored wheels which is just a fad and and in a little bit will get labeled as "ricer"

I think the bright colored wheels are gonna last longer than you think, plus if they wanna be different its really the only way to go. OP, google blue evo orange wheels to see what that will look like. IMO it looks really good but some may disagree. Plus, if any one decides to go with bright wheels and wants to change the color theres always painting, powdercoating, and plastidipping that you can do.

I think white sticks out to much. The black I think matches but that is only because my trim is black. The Gold might actually look cool but I think with a few accents to bounce off of the rest of the car might make it look sharp. Did you think about black with chrome or silver on the concaves of the rim spokes?

Just a suggestion.

What size tires do you have and what size in the 519s are you looking for? Oh and those wheels on the Evo are Rays Gramlights

Im almost positive they will work, itll just be a stretch of the tire and thats why Discount said they wont work. They wanna make more money off of you so theyll tell you to buy new tires.

the more I think about it the more I think gold would look really good on that deep Cosmic Blue. What wheels will you have though? Some wheels look better in colors than others. Are you wanting to PC the OEM wheels?
