Quick Poll -- Rim Choice

Getting new rims ... silver or gunmetal ...

I would say silver unless you plan on painting/tinting your headlights and fogs...

with a blue car ... i'd say Silver

but they both look great. What are those wheels ? (model)

 

[mazdaspeedpower]

gunmetal for sure, looks super schweet. Gives it a kinda JDM, but not look. Very clean, less of the ricey bling look of lighter colours. If(when) i get rims, they'll be gunmetal, and they would have been on my Midnight blue P5 aswell

 

[Protege5Gurly]

We have plans for the headlights --- a CF insert --- if thats a no go ... then yes, painted.

Wheels are EXEL Ennios ... I would get the hyperblack but they are sold out with no plans for more

I think silver will look awesome but the gunmetal is nice on the midnite blue too.

I voted for silver. However, if you could get the gunmetal w/ a polished lip, I'd have to reconsider.

 

[hellcat]

I have a set of those on the way to my house as we speak. I got hyper black though.

 

[toucci]

silver is much better for your car, hands down.

 

[Protege5Gurly]

Hellcat ... hyperblack in 18s or 17s .. cuz if its 18s im comin to your house to steal em since they are all out.

Anway.. i did a quick photoshop of the 2 and decided to order the gunmetal. It looked alot better on the car than the silver -- especially with tinted headlights.

Why not have somone photoshop it and then decide? (I think it'll be easier if you see the car with the rims)

Protege5gurly: what size tires are you using ? I wana get 18s too and am not too sure of the size. I've read richie's guide in the Tire section, but im just wondering if you have exactly what he said or sometyhing else =)

LOL it's a 50/50 split with 22 votes. Have fun deciding, because I don't think we are going to have a general consensus any time soon If it were me, I would change it up and go with the gun metal because you do have the Midnight Blue P5...

 

[NRRfrogmanP5]

i voted for gunmetal....but why not bronze??

LoL. Then I'm not tellin' you where I live. I ordered 205/40/17's with mine. For the 18's I would go 215/35/18. That is what I hear most people do with 18's. The gunmetal will look great on a blue car.

 

[Protege5Gurly]

Hehe people need to read the rest of my posts ... I did do a photoshop (even tinted my headlights) and decided to order the gunmetals. I definitely think it will tie the car together -- especially with all the exterior carbon fiber stuff going on.

As for the tires, they are 215/35-18 ... same size that I have on the car now.
