I Want Your Opinions

I have a GG Evo 9 and i want to know what you think the best rim color is for a gray evo. Pictures to support your opinion would be great as well.

Personally I like luxury euro cars. I am going to be throwing some coilovers on in spring. (Waiting till Green Bay thaws out) I was thinking black or an all crome rim would look good on a wingless gray evo with very little wheel gap.

My $.02
Chrome = NO
Black = OK
Dark gray to match paint = Best

My opinion is that I can't believe you'd even consider chrome on an Evo unless you absolutely do not care about performance.

I prefer matching gray to go with my GG, and here are my pics, although my rims are not for looks - they were just to have cheap Winter rims that were similar in design to the stock BBS MR rims:

Why don't you search through the official GG thread and look through to find what you may like best. It's a great way to start. I am going to stay out of the "what you should do" thing. And just leave you with the link

Depends on what your looking at, but some of the Advans and Rays wheels come in a chrome finish or a really high polished finished. I think that would look good. Is the chrome that comes on those wheels really heavy as well? Also a high polished black with a polished silver lip would look good IMO.

Those are polished, not chrome.
