What if you did like a red black scheme. or black dark blue. i dunno just throwin it out there for those who say black is over done. I think black is just too bland for my taste. Kinda takes your eyes away from the rims instead of accenting the car like they should.

Yeah...all black does not seperate the rims from the tires. At a quick look it looks like you're sportin steelies for the winter or something. LOL The "theme" of my car os going to be 98% black and white with a couple red flashes around(custom white gauges with all red numbering; some red left in the tail lights; maybe a couple more small things I've yet to plan etc)

^I think thatll look amazing man. Good luck.

My car is yellow so I decided almost instantly to not go with a sleeper look and do alot of eye catchy 2 tone. Its gonna be flashy as hell but I want it to look clean and custom and not pimp my ride. Its hard to get it just right, but as long as im happy with it in the end. I think any 2 tone rim would really make these cars.

The first one is a cool idea.. And the bronze just needs to be a tad darker.. But nice work..

This is them in black.. This is how they'll be on my car once they're black.. But instead of the Saab center cap, there will be a black BBS cap..



And gunmetal.. How they are now..



Not to thread-jack or anything, but this will also give an idea of gunmetal verses black.. I'll post a pic of them on my 2.4 when I get them on too..

Honestly, I think so. I believe they're the EXCT same size as the stock SS n/a's, which do. These are 17x7, and I think +42 offset. I'm gonna post up pics after install, but if anyone wants to know, any local t/c guys can stop by and try to throw one on their car and see..

I think all black with a red ring would look good. I am curious what the darker bronze would look like on my car. My wife loves the silver but I think they just stand out way to much for the color of the car. Black is what I think I am going to go for but even the gold would keep it from popping out like a sore thumb. The wife generally gets what she wants in the end so we will see what happens.lol
