Re: Looks like the car is done for now...

I like the wheels, but with fiji blue, there isn't enough contrast between the body and the wheels to justify solid black wheels.

I wish I could give you color suggestions, but unfortunately our color is way to hard to work with. THe only wheel color that looks natural on FBP is Silver... I might have to call up some fashion or interior designers to make suggestions, lol

Re: Looks like the car is done for now...

For blue or white cars, the best colors are only either silver, or bronze/gold.
There's pretty much no other alternative.

Black looks tacky on either white or blue.

It's either that, or you paint them white.
Like Honda05 did, they turned out good on a blue car.

Re: Looks like the car is done for now...

I'm considering switching to white also.
I'm just worried that it will clash with my disastrously ugly beige interior :P

The reason why I chose bronze with my car.
Turn something I hated into something that's workable.

I have tan interior, but luckily when my dad bought the car new, he put stock bronze tint on.
So now I have a theme.

Lucky you. I hate blue and tan together. At least with white, you can pair anything.

And doesn't Honda05 have bronze rims...? Or am I missing something here?
I don't remember seeing an EM2 with white ones.
