I'm in the process of choosing out some rims for my car. My problem is, I'm really torn between wether to get Silver Painted or chrome rims....
I've got a 97 ST Coupe, Silver. Any suggestions? Personally, I kind of like this: http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/233.gif This post has been edited by CupCrazy38: May 1, 2004 - 9:33 AM |

i would get some darker rims on a silver car. maybe gunmetal. get chrome if you want to be flashy. have you thought about hyperblack?

If you will notice on the site, they only have the 5x114 bolt pattern, so they won't fit your car
 . But i love these. Excel Radius or these excel prime i almost bought those instead of the rh-5's. just a suggestion. adam This post has been edited by 98celica3: May 1, 2004 - 10:46 AM -------------------- MISS THE CELI, BUT...

No, I'm not a fan of black wheels at all. Just not appealing to me. Not too sure about gun metal... haven't really seen them in person... though they don't look bad in pictures.

Then your choice should be silver rims.

If you wanna stand out, get something other than silver. Chrome on silver would not look good. With silver paint, I'm extremely partial to gunmetal.

Chrome wheels like thin 5-spokes with a lip look nice...
