PM me a pic with the wheels on them and I can Photoshop them to give you different color choices so you can visually see it on the car.

flat graphite or glossy graphite, bronze always reminds me of blue sti's with their gold/bronze wheels

I opt for glossy graphite. I didn't like them originally, but they grow on you. Especially since they look darker most of the time.


My girlfriend doctored one up also, so they look darker. The rim color really offsets the color of your car, no matter what you drive.

At the risk of stating the brutally obvious, having folks pick a color is the complete opposite of personalization via cosmetic modifications.

This.

I'm painting my wheels next week, and no one is choosing the color but ME.

But if the OP is asking us to pick, my vote is for GOLD since that is the only one posted in all caps.

IMO silver cars only look good with gunmetal, black or white wheels. Anything else doesn't really match the color well.

I'd agree, with the addition of Mag Blue Volks.
