Talking What colour rims would you put on a silver car?

I'm getting 5Zigen Fireball rims for my Lancer, to replace my Kosei Penta ones. Kinda undecided on the colour. White? Bronze? Or Silver?

What do you guys think?

Depends on what look your going for. I would do black or gunmetal cause that would look mean on a silver car IMO.

Heh. Another "what color wheels on ___ color car" thread. Dark on light, light on dark. Brings out both wheels and body. Gunmetal.

I was thinking more of bronze, because I don't really like the lack of contrast between rim & tyre... I'd like something more visible, that's why I'm not too keen on gunmetal or black...


SILVER


WHITE


BRONZE

Can't find pics of the GM ones, but I've seen them... The bronze is more like dark gold...

It's your car. I'm just posting the same suggestion I always post in these threads and find to be true almost without exception. IMO bronze wheels look hideous on silver cars.

gun metals look good on silver cars, gotta love the contrast

gun metal on black if its not clean it looks like dirty wheels.

black wheels on black cars look like crap

Silver or gunmetal would be nice for silver cars
