I dont think that colormatching your wheels to your car is rice, but if thats what you think then dont do it. How about gunmetal or hyper chrome, that way its a little different than just plain black.

looks at a anthracite its like a cray not a gun metal but a gray i think that would look good or u can get some chrome/black rims like black and chrome spokes or you could go with black chrome (this would be sick) not to many black chrome rims out there though

to do that right you will have to find a wheel and paint it or have it powder coated to match. That will be your best bet anyway that way the color matches correctly

I like those bro. they look good. You think of maybe doing the rivets yellow? if you could do that, I think it would looks awesome. might give just that subtle hint.

Black rims. Dark rims on a bright colored car kick ass.

Keep in mind that with the 18x8.5", 34mm offset the inner rim edge would be a little over 3/4" closer to the body/suspension pieces, so don't go crazy with huge tires or they will rub. Man they look good though. Chip Foose is da MAN!

If you have a yellow SS/SC try painting your wheels black and doing yellow around the edges.. several members here have done that color match set up on their cars and it looks nice and its very cost effective

paint them black, there are different degrees of black like gloss, flat, satin. I painted mine black and they look different from everyone elses. puls it would make your car look more like a bumble bee.
