wags, what kind of paint did you use to black out your grill? just black spray paint? it looks like you managed to match it to the thunder grey nicely...
edit: i would go with silver rims... but i'm not big on colored or dark rims.

i did use black spray paint for the grill and then put a clear coat on to help prevent chipping and what-not . . . it does appear to match pretty good from a distance, but up close u can tell that the car is gray and the grill is black

My opinion, having a thunder grey Lancer, I went with the graphite Konig Absoutes. The graphite color perfectly matches the car and with an added chrome lip around the rim adds the perfect pimp look.
with a dark car....don't go bright.
But that's just my opinion

Your car looks nice 
I just see it as if I were to wear a black suit I would not wear white shoes. That's how I look at rims, as shoes.
So white on Thunder Grey uhhhh NO.....
silver...... a big maybe......
Graphite, A PERFECT MATCH!....
Let's remember all this is just my opinion, I hope I am not steppin'
on anyones RIMs.....I mean shoes.
Hopefully I will be posting some pics of my car. The rain has not stopped here and I can't get any decent pictures.

MODS:
*****
RMR intake
RRM Evo style grille
RRM CF reflectors
(that orange cr@p had to go)
sittin' on 17" Konig Absolutes (graphite) rollin' with Yoko's
now just waiting on the prices to go down on springs/coilovers
