Help Choosing Rims
I'm getting some 17s this winter, and putting them on my silver 4door when the snow melts. I can't decide on what rims to get, does anyone have suggestions? I'm thinking of Konig Absolutes, but they are opal, and my car is silver. What suggestions does everyone have? [Don't worry about price]

IMO 6-spokes or split-5's in gunmetal or black with polished lip look best on silver cars. Check my profile (as if I haven't wh0red my car enough on here).

Rep Power: 0 I agree with Telly on this one. Black or dark gunmetal rims with a polished lip look great on a silver or black car. You can't go wrong with good old silver rims either.

Rep Power: 345 Chrome is the one colour I WOULDN'T put on a silver car. Actually, I know it looks best on black, but even then I don't like em. Wait a sec....no one asked about chrome. I'm a dumbass.

Rep Power: 0 I won't be getting chrome. No question about that.
I don't want black rims either, I'm looking for silver.
Thanks for your thoughts Telly and you guys, any suggestions specifically?
I was thinking of getting them in the winter because I thought they wouild be cheaper then because they will all be on clearance at the end of the season.

Rep Power: 0 Get some gunmetal or hyper black rims. The darker shade of grey will contrast nicely with the light silver. Check out my ride to see pictures my rims with a hyper black finish.
