WHITE WHITE WHITE!!

enough of these black/gunmetal rims!! unless you're going for that cool, "ghetto" look. why spend so much on rims no one can see unless they're 5 ft from your car? not to mention you can get the same look by just keeping your stock wheels and tossing out the wheel covers.

gunmetal on black has a tendency to look like you're riding on stock steelies. (cheapens the look) White wheels on black not my first pick but have to admit some look really nice on black. bottom line is go with white over gunmetal[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

ya gunmetal on black looks ugly/ghetto(although i've seen some that actually look clean). i think white looks phat on a black car. chrome is even better

black/gunmetal all the way. I have it, and it gives the car that low-key, but hardcore look. People can tell from a mile away its not stock steelies...
