Well , I personally dont like the idea .For me the time for monocromatic (one color ) its past . I also have a white diamond R/A and like the idea of gold or bronce wheels ,but also in gun metal looks great! Just my .02 cts.

Talking

+1 on gun metal.

Gun metal or Black looks awesome. I have a pic from a few of the guys on this thread. See below.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...006/LANCER.jpg - WHITE
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...2720025152.jpg - BLACK
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...10020107fo.jpg - GUN
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...386_7_full.jpg - BLACK2

No need to ponder no more, just take a look and see the difference yourself. There is black on white, white on white and gun metal on white.

Cheers

Although gold on white is probably my favorite, I couldn't disagree more that white wheels look bad^. There is a local member with white rims on his white RS, and it looks awesome, especially in person. Tell me these don't look good:






Blue, Red and Black look good with white wheels too. Look at the Mitsu WRC cars for a PERFECT example!!!

I think white rims ONLY look good on either red or yellow cars that have a Rally theme, otherwise, thumbs down!

On white, go with either gold, bronze, gunmetal, or black.

Now which of these two looks hotter?

Alright. Don't get white rims. Make sure to get the rims that everyone else has, and the ones they tell you look good.

BTW, I did mention that gold on white is my favorite, but white looks very good in person. The White RS that I spoke of gets nothing but compliments at car meets we attend, and this is from import as well as classic and domestic guys. Besides, Evos already look like a toy car that I'd have in my hotwheels collection, bone stock...

Seriously, if you like the look, go for it. If you change your mind, sell the rims and put back on the stockers...

What I posted was only IMO. I think if people come on the internet and ask then you gotta give it to em, seriously though, I wouldnt come online and ask about, "what to do with my car" questions.

Ok, so ignore all the input he asked for but yours?


I like gold on white. Otherwise I personally am one for the gunmetal, or even basically just darker rims in lighter cars.
