Opinions: Which color rims? - Check last page and post opinion please
I currently have a 2003 Ralley Red DX 'Vic. I am wondering what color rims everyone thinks looks best with my color. Your opinions are much appriciated.
*****************EDIT: I have attached pics of a milano red RSX with rims similar to those which I will be getting....I would like everyone's opinion as to whether they think the bronze rims on the car look hott, or whether they think the gunmetal counterpart would look better....thanks.

I said bronze because:
a. It looks awesome
b. Hardly anyone has it
c. Gunmetal is so played out its not funny. When it starts becoming a factory rim color, you know its time to ditch it. I'm gonna have to powdercoat my Si wheels blue to keep them different (they're GM now).

Rep Power: 0 ^^Yeah, I have been contemplating that....The Volk rims I want come in Bronze.
I need to get them photochopped to see how it will look. Are there any Red Vics on this site with bronze rims?

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, windows are definately getting tinted shortly......
Most likely getting Rotas. They seem to be more bang for your buck. I can afford them pretty much now and I would rather have rims on instead of the hubs. I am looking into Rota Mugen RNR replicas flat black with a red lip. I have seen an EP on cardomain that is stock red with them, and it looks pretty sick.
Looking into gunmetal as well. Im not sure Rota bronze would look hott in stock red and I can't really find any examples.

Rep Power: 304 I said flat black. My reasoning was this:
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. Everyone has either full GM, or GM w/ polished lip. Silver is always going to be a popular color for any vehicle. I like flat black because red and black look good together. The rotas sound like a good choice, I thought about getting the 16" slipstreams for my black civic. Then, I considered a custom made Jesse James in an anodized black. Now, I'm pretty set on either Tenzo ZT6's or Konig Glides. Bronze would be my second choice with red though. It's unique, and really pops w/ rallye red.

Rep Power: 324 I have both silver and flat black. It all depends on your theme and style, below are pics of my car. I like flat black the most just coz it flows right with my black and red theme.

Rep Power: 0 wow that sucks, silver, bronze, gunmetal with polished lip, and flat black are all at 20%. I'd say majority rules....but there is no majority. TTT

Rep Power: 0 I don't really like how silver looks...my themes are red and black which leaves the possiblity of bronze, gunmetal w/ polished lip, and flat black. I'm most likely getting slipstreams. They look the best out of what is attainable at this time.

Rep Power: 0 I never really liked bronze, flat black, or gunmetal for that matter. I would go with Silver or White. I would say white for sure if it was a white car - kinda like the old Integra type R's that came stock in white with white rims. If my next car is white I'll def. go with white. But in your case you've got red. I think silver's your safe bet. Its not too radical or revolutionary but it will look good none the less. But its your preference so do what you want - hope it looks good!
I vote bronze

Rep Power: 0 i picked white. i've seen a few red cars with white wheels and it looked pretty good IMO. the only thing that would prolly make me chose another color would be keeping white wheels clean. but if you can keep them clean white would be perfect and plus it would match all the ricey stickers you could put on your car...j/k.
