Need opinions

Ok so I need some opinions here.
Here is my car.


I love the rims I have on my car.
BUT..I would prefer some smaller ones. Maybe bronze or gold or black.
Or I could get them powdercoated one of those colors to cure the itch.
Need ideas.
Thanks
Derek

bronze and black is sexy
but im biased...

they do look kinda large...what size are they?

I guess vote bronze...but w/o the silver lip
you already have the wheels and spending bucks on a new set is kinda dumb...

Car looks good. I would leave them the way they are, and spend the money on lowering the car (coilovers, or just springs to save some $$$). If you really want to powdercoat them something, I would suggest "diamond black", which is a volk color, or some type of gloss black. That way you could keep the silver lip.

Personally, I recommend - if you powdercoat - that you do a bronze. Bronze is awesome, especially when you have a black car. I'm not so sure about the machine lip, but taht may look good as well. (Mine are bronzed ...)


(What you have now is totally sweet. Black/Gunmetal on black kicks ass too!)

The car is lowered 2" on Tanabe springs with Tokico blue shocks.
The pic was taken the day after we lowered it so the suspension hasn't even settled yet. But now it has...and now it's lower then 2"

*NOTE* Have you ever seen a burgundy paint job with bronze wheels? It looks sweet too man.
