rims on thunder gray lancer
 

i know everyone posts these polls (forgive me if this bothers you), but im having trouble deciding what color rims i should go for on my thunder gray lancer . ..? i like silver and gun metal the best, but i dont know . . what do u all think?

Dark rims are beginning to grow on me... (Think it's cos my new ones are Metallic Ash Grey, darker than Gunmetal) But they need to be huge to look good...

wag i have a thunder grey also, i think gunmetal would look great

Go with black on a gray car.

Great...another one of these {pick}
just get what you want...simple as that
it's your money your dishing out

i know its another one of these rim-poll-topics, but i just wanted to see what other people thought too - - ultimately, i will be getting what i want, theres no question there . . .. . .and LancerGDI, dont worry about being huge . . . right now im looking at 17" Buddy Club P1's . . . {thumbup}

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 on rims for a car is, on a dark color car is to go with white or silver and a lighter color car is to go with gun metal or black. Just my opinion.

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. {thumbup}

with a dark car....don't go bright. {thumbdwn}

But that's just my opinion :cool:

i went with silver, but gun metal would look pretty sweet.

I have have a golden colour Lancer with 17" konigs imagines the funny thing is the though colours match looks sweet ill try to post pics..

Sorry, just a little OT.. but are those the Progress Springs I see peeking out of your rear wheel?

yes they are.

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. :D

Hopefully I will be posting some pics of my car. The rain has not stopped here and I can't get any decent pictures.
