Go with anthracite (dark grey) so as not to loose the defenition of the wheel.

Yeah, along those lines. Youll need to keep your tires slicked to stop them looking like ass on a dark rim.

He speaks the truth, Black cars just love the dirt...its annoying spending couple hours cleaning her up for a few pics, than the next day...it was right before you started.

I think it would look okay, to be back on topic. I personally perfer more definition of the rims, but gunmetal should do fine.

i know what you mean.. although i AM modding it to my liking, im just asking for opinions in case someone knows about or has already done something similar that i havent seen which i might like even more (that "anthracite" color that he posted was an example).. so it's just for ideas.

i'd never put white rims on a black car EVER. it just sticks out so much, ppl will tend to look at your rims more than your car. it's just my preference i guess

Black is nice but make sure you get a deep dish and put chrome on the lip or at least another color to accentuate the wheels. You don't want them lost in the shuffle. You paid for them show them off!

You all seen my car, Black, Polished lip, Gunmetal spokes. Everyone runs polished/chrome lip on black or dark colored spokes so it isnt really that appealing. Oh Im getting different rims too biggrin.gif you'll just have to wait on that.

But a Murdered out Celica would look just too plain.

those rims would look good on ur car, with the black on black... but it would look sick as hell with a red pinstripe around the outside of the rim
