I don't like the dark colors, makes the wheel look dirty... silver, polished or machined aluminum and chrome look best to me. But it's your car, so do what you like.

that is my problem. Not sure which one. Definitely not chrome, too shiny for my taste.

someone told me that 16's would look better on my car rather than 17's.
Most lancers I have seen (with aftermarket rims) are 17's and look pretty damn good.

Ya gotta go with 17's, and I am a bit of a chrome freak. But I think the silver would look best on your car.

I've got a yellow OZ too and I'm going for gunmetal or black with a polished lip. The lip should help keep the rim and tire apart in looks, IMO. I'm leaning towards the Konig Holes, 17". Good luck and post pics when you get the rims and get em on!!

Why would you put any kind of wheel that says "Spoon Sport" on it on any mitsubishi car? Spoon is a Honda and Acura aftermarket specialist.
But if you are just asking on color, I would go with the dark one (not really gunmetal, but more like a graphite color)!

I'm just looking at the color, I'll decide on the rims later. What is the difference between gunmetal and graphite? I thought they were the same?
