Well, I dont want to get into a flame war, I was looking for advice, Thank You for your opinion. We saw by your first post how much you disliked the wheel I have chosen for my car. And now we see again with your second post that nothing has changed. Keep us updated please.

I am still buying the fvcking wheels.

A serious thanks goes to Jeanette.

Graphite on black car.

I'm not sure if I like how those look, but sometimes it's hard to tell when the things aren't mounted on a car. Be sure to post pics when you get 'em. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I would have to go with silver. I just don't like anything that MIGHT look like a steelie from far away. Just my personal choice. I think anyone dark on a black car looks bad. That includes headlights and all that other stuff.

I would go with the black ones, depends what looks ur going for...
I think that black exterior parts like TYC carbon fiber tails and black projectors look sick on a all black car it gives it a type of stealth look

i personally think chrome would look awesome on a black car ... but ... if i had to chose between the two? hmmm i'd say silver. the other ones look kinda "bronze" in the pic. What the heck are you gonna match bronze with?

Hey dude, as far as the color goes I'd stick with the gunmetal. They look awesome on a black car!

As for the wheels, can I convince you otherwise? I mean it's your car and I'm not trying to flame you, you know this, but I just don't like them. They look like jacks, you know, the kind you played with as a kid. Anyways, you're cool with me and all but it's just my opinion.

Again, gunmetal rocks!

Yes silver, I do appreciate your oppinion actually, unfortunately I have been wanting these rims forever now, I am tired of seeing the same thing on everyones car, Its cool with me if people dont like em, actually I'd rather have people not like em, it will keep em origional. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] And about the color, I hear the graphite has a gold tint or flake in the paint, do we all still think it will look good on the car?

hmm, I'm not too keen on the gold flake. I think I'd have to see it in person to really make an honest judgement. If you wanna be safe, go with the silver.

I gotta go with silver but it's just personal preference. Those will prolly look pretty good while you're moving.

Graphite. But I don't like neither one. Why don't you consider Kosei K1's or something?
