Rim Colour??

[MyZmZm]

My stock rims are peeling pretty good from where the weights have been, and are chipped and scratched from using them one winter before I had the steelies. I'm going to get them re-finished, but I'm a little stuck on the colour.

My P5 is midnight blue, and my theme is essentially blue and black, with a touch of silver. I don't want the rims black, but I don't really like the stock silver colour - it's too light for my liking - so I was thinking of going with more of a gunmetal colour. Another colour I was thinking of was kind of a dark copper, but I'm not sure how this would look, or how it would work with my theme. Would either of these colours look good? Anyone have pics of a midnight blue P5 with gunmetal or copper rims (pref the stock rims), or have other suggestions for colour?

just look like they are dirty to me, black with a polished lip isnt as bad, but all black is not my thing

 

[MyZmZm]

I hadn't really considered that - more of a black spoke with a silver lip. Any other suggestions/examples?

Bronze is always nice:

What rims are those? Do you have a better pic of them? They look really good.

gunmetal with polished lip.....the way to go!

Looks kinda like the 5zigen FN01R-C. might be wrong. but those are what i want if i had money.

Thats them. Let me look for another pic.

you spelled color wrong

COLOUR is spelled correctly. Note that he's from Edmonton, Alberta.

Personally, I like gunmetal better than the copper. White is nice on dark blue as well, but would look weird as you have nothing else white on the car.

I agree with Phil about white on midnight blue (but I'm biased). Other than that, I'd second the votes for black with polished lip.

Here's a pic of my OLD rims. They have since been replaced, but the new ones aren't on yet, so I don't have any pics of them on the car. A lot of other stuff on the car has changed since this pic was taken too,.....no more graphics, and lots of new toys. But anyway, I'm just posting this so you can see white on blue.

The file is pretty big, so I'm just going to link to it
