Go with a lighter colored wheel. Nothing darker than gunmetal. I had black wheels last summer and they just didn't pop against the blue car. Mine is laser blue though.

Nope, its not all the same. My car is Blue Flash Metallic. Which is a blue car w/ purple flakes...like you dont see the purple until the sunlight hits it directly ($300 extra) the other colors are diff, I dont own those cars so I dont know much about them up close. LOL, but the Laser Blue is more of a solid purpleish blue, from what i can tell when I see others on the road, anyways... lol

i had laser blue, the flakes are not purple. it has a purple tint, but not as bad as flash blue, flash blue looks like cotton candy color.

Mine's an 08, and when i bought it brand new, the little paper thingy in the window said "color: Blue Flash Metallic----$300" or something along those lines, haha. I dont believe they put that color on anything before 08... i could b wrong tho...

I agree. I think black looks good, but gunmetal looks awesome with the blue.

LOL. No! It's a completely different color! It is more like a metallic baby blue. It is much lighter than laser blue.
