Wheel suggestions

[enigM@]

I'm currently in the market to purchase rims, and i need some suggestions. I have a black p5 and don't know which style/color to choose.

So far, I'm thinking of:

1.) flat black
2.) gunmetal
3.) bronze
4.) gunmetal w/polished lip

If people have some pics of their black p5 with rims that'll help.

Thanks

I've seen blacked-out P5s that were very very veeeeerrrrrry sexy, so there is choice number one. Gunmetal on black is a no-no. Bronze would look pretty good, too, but I say go black

Well, one thing I do when deciding color schemes, is customize the cars in Need for Speed: Underground. The Lancer looks a lot like a pro (sadly not a hatchback pro, though). Anyway, I've seen black rims on a black P5 lookin' verrrrrrry hot, though (have to go w/ colored calipers, though... any color (cept maybe poo-brown) should work in black on black)

i think black on black is a no no....your car will look way too plain, unless u have a polished lip. My cavalier z24 is black and has gunmetal wheels, and i get nothing but compliments for it. Im actually selling them and might go with bronze....specifically the Rota Subzeros. So my choice is Gunmetal/Gunmetal with lip and Bronze........

Also if your thinking of getting a CF Hood, the gunmetal will match up better with the hood than black will. Ill find a good pic of my cavy and show u what im talking about.....it also has a cf hood.

black calipers looks pretty l33t, same with painting rotors black (only hub not the friction part) cant say too much about muffler tip though haha

Black on black = Mmmmmmmmm(upbum)

Black on black looks awesome.

It also blends into traffic well, but stands out @ meets and shows.

 

[sgryzko]

Yeah black on black does look a little plain. I like black with a polished lip on black.

 

[mspeed101]

what size rims are you looking at? Id probably go with either black or bronze.

 

[enigM@]

well, i live in Jersey and the roads are pretty bad. I just got a bubble on my tire, so i'm gonna have to stick with 16s. Rotas sound like a good option.
