Which rims?

Okay, I know these threads are rather worthless but I like to weigh in other people's opinions...even if it's my own car Not getting much love in the Photoshop section so here goes:

2009 Lancer tarmac black w/



or



Both of these sets are going pretty cheap on Ebay, both 18x7.5 so fitment would be perfect. Opinions are more than welcome, don't really want to go with black on black, think I should go with one of these or go another route?

Thats a tough choice.

The gold rims will make it attention getting and perceived as ricey although they do look good on a black car.

The silver rim will give it more race car look compared to the gold IMO. They would look great as well.

I know you don't want to hear it but I wouldn't reduce the rim width.

Isn't the stock rim 18x7?

Okay those first two were because of price, but I really want to do this right and take advantage of the aggressive body style these lancers have. How about these two choices? Opinions on color are appreciated!

Black Type M's


Bronze DC5's


I'm personally attached to the DC5's in either black or bronze, it's an aggressive looking wheel and I can go 235/40. What do you guys think? These two wheels obviously spank the sh*t out of the first two choices, but triple the price.

Your car is white? I think I'd go with bronze 100%. I just found a set of bronze on Ebay for $749+$99 shipping.
