RIMS RIMS RIMS! Which One?

Wassup Everyone, Ok heres the deal, i'm planning on buyin Motegi MR7's 17... i'm debating on HYPER BLACK or GUNMETAL. ooh and 17s or 18s. i know how the gunmetal looks already and thats why i'm having a hard time deciding.
my car is pretty much all black. i was hoping to get HYPERBLACK so something would stand out a lil bit. But Both looks good to me... HMMMM...

OR

My Last Option, Keep Theme Black n' Stealth Like and Go With ICON APEX 17s.

Here are sum pics with MR7s in HyperBlack (sorry guys i know its an integra but these are the only pics i could find)

And here are sum quick chops that i did maybe it can help out a bit

Your car is black, so I'd stick with hyperblack.

I'd get 18's if money is not an issue. 18" rims cost more, and the tires cost more too. I was considering getting 18's for my ride, but the difference in cost just kills me.

Matt_S - Hyper Black Isnt Black... its kinda like a darker silver or like black chrome if

Here's a picture of HyperBlack on a NHB car - courtesy of FaZe:
17" 5Zigen Super Six Hyperblack


Both choices look nice.. I doubt you'd be able to find cheaper 18s (then again, I could have easily paid too much for my 17s) then what FreddySI is offering - but they are gunmetal.

In any event, both rims are dark looking and would easily flow with black. Good luck with your decision - I know I did enough when choosing mine.

go for gunmetal, and dont go 18, going to cost you too much in rubber

photochop the rims onto your car it will help you decide
