Rim Color?

SpaceSox · 08-30-2007, 11:57 AM

What color rims would look best on a silver si? Also, what color is not good for silver.

***sgtpruitt*** · 08-30-2007, 12:00 PM

black or silver IMO would look best. The worst would be polka dot or plaid.

SpaceSox · 08-30-2007, 12:04 PM

I was thinking about gold but I guess that is out of the question

***sgtpruitt*** · 08-30-2007, 12:06 PM

I like gold on the darker colors. Not sure about silver though.

personnal pref. but everyone is going to tell you black and gunmetal looks good.

tukai · 08-30-2007, 01:24 PM

I would avoid gold or white on silver

Avoid black, but gunmetal looks alright. I'd just keep it simple and get some nice silver wheels. Like...Rays Daytonas.

i agree with gunmetal, silver with polished lip would be nice too. black on a silver car would only look good if you're slammed to the ground on low profiles... well that's just my opinion. check the silver (bluish) on the Work XD9s, i've seen an asm on silver gram lights 57Fs and it also looks mean.

Gun metal / hyper black would be my two favs. I really don't like black rims at all unless they have some kind of lip.. and since I hate polished lips, I guess the only good one is red (although blue looked hottt on the fiji blue). If you just have a straight black set of wheels, it just blends with the tires and looks like steelies.

gold is good on black, not nearly so much on silver

gunmetal or black..something dark for sure
