hmmm maybe bronze? but i would go with black...white on white is nasty IMO. But it cost me 200 dollars to get all four of my 18's powder coated glossy black

Rep Power: 368 I agree, bronze would look best. Black would be kinda blah if you weren't able to get a polished lip going. White would be pretty nice depending what rims you have, but regardless you're gonna have a hell of a time cleaning the brake dust off every couple of days.

Rep Power: 0 bronze would be sweet i didn't even think of that, i'll put a pic up of my rims but i have to clean them first, they are ADR GT Sports, but i'll probably go black or bronze. Could i even do a polished lip? If so how much extra would that be?

Rep Power: 0 Plz dont do white. I personally think that white rims look realy tacky. Black with a polished lip would look really nice cuz plain black rims kinda look like steelies when they're movin...

Its just my opinion but I think black rims just look constantly dirty and you never really get a 'clean' look from them...I dunno, I guess from a distance if they're black they look more like the black thing behind the hub caps (whatever its called, drawing a blank...)
