White rims vs Gun metal

Post by mitmaks »

hey guys, Ive got some white 18's Konig rated R for my 93GS SE. (check out my cardomain for pics of car) and now I thought that some gun metal rims would look better on it? paint is scratched in few places, parking lot dings, clear coat started coming off from spoiler after very harsh cold last winter. So Ill be repainting it with stock color, only add some pearl to it, But anyways I thought that some gun metal would look better on it than white 18 rated r's. ive got black leather interior, carbon fiber hood, which would match with gun metal rims. Btw if anyone wanna buy them let me know or Ill trade for 17's gun metals

It depends on the car's color and body, chrome and gunmetal can look great, but I'm partial to gunmetal...man, can't wait until i buy mine in spring

think of it this way........ cf hood, white rims, or cf hood, gunmetal rims..... the darkness of the gunmetal rims will match your hood a lot better which will make the appearance of the car more "smooth" if that make's sense to anybody.

Id say go with something that compliments your color of your car, not the CF.

My RS is white, I had white wheels and an inverted CF hood. I loved the way it looked.
Unfortunatly after an idiot left a raised area on the interstate, the rims are trashed.

personally white is way overdone on most cars here in minnesota , black and gunmetal are becoming the same way, i think that a set of 17's or 18's that are dark bronze would look killer on your car, like umm i think his name is precidian something hes got the teal mx-3 with the bronze rims, it looks sick oh well just my 2cents :shrug:
sold the mx-3 , bought 04 gtp comp g , from the smallest v6 to one of the biggest 3800 s/c FTW
