I have pretty much made my decision to those of you who care.
I'm going to go with Rays Gramlights 57c in gunmetal with anodized red lugs.

What size ya looking for?? I got some 17x7 Exel P-5's. Gunmetal (well, more of a lighter gunmetal) with a polished lip. Check em' out. http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/exel.htm Get a wheel tire package 215/45/17 mounted, balanced and shipped for $810!!! I got them on my Blue 02 ex and they look PIMP!
Especially with a 1.5 inch drop. And the lip is the longest i've seen on a 7 inch wide rim. Makes them look wider. The tires that come with the package are quite nice too. Aggressive tread pattern and pretty nice grip. These would look real good on ur red vic

I picked gunmetal with polished lip - I'm obsessed with that combo, and I've seen it on some red vics around my area; looks sick. But if you have the option to go bronze with polished lip, I think that might actually look better, depending what shade of bronze the rims come in.

Rep Power: 0 Well, I'm sort of leaning towards Work Emotion CRs in bronze... I have seen them on a Milano Red RSX-S and they looked sick...lemme find that pic.

So it's either the bronze or regular gunmetal I think.
Anyway, since milano red is quite similar to rallye red and I liked them on the following car, I figured I'd like them on my own and it would be something a little different than your average silver.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah if you can get bronze with a polished lip that will kill it right there! If not then go with the gunmental and polished lip!

Rep Power: 0 Trends suck! As someone said earlier in this post: "First white was the hot color on Red cars, now everyone has them. Plus they remind me of my Telefonica wheels too much. Now, gunmetal is the craze." <-- VERY TRUE, IMO! However, because people are noticing darker wheels becoming overpopulated they will go with bronze and in about 8-10 months we'll be discussing this topic again except it'll go something like this:
"First white was the hot color on Red cars, now everyone has them. Then came gunmetal as the craze. Shortly thereafter came black and finally bronze was the best. Everyone has either full bronze, or bronze w/ polished lip. I personally like the new tan colored wheels with a polished lip."
Okay the above is merely a gross exaggeration with my bad attempt at humour but doesnt anyone agree with the fact that when one attempts to be different and it is well received, it becomes popular, then overdone. Its a vicious cycle. Okay I need to go take a pill now....thanks we'll see ya.

Rep Power: 0 btw, I voted 'white' for the simple reason that it'll probably be my next color choice....I've gone through every other color choice you listed above with the exception of white/bronze so....might as well be different......or the same.....argh whatever.
