Yes i decided to be conservative and will go for a Gun metal look

The only set back is cost i was told to expect $ 200 PER wheel ouch , a lot of money for a bit of darker colour.

cheers

I used to have white car with white wheels...they look good. Then come the new model of Integra Type R and the 5 spoke wheel look suck.

My friend got a white DC 5 and he has changed it to a JDM 17" ... with muti spokes - look so much better.

Conclusion: White wheel need muti spokes = RX-8 stock in white sucks even with a white car...

I like gun metal colour though. SHould suit a yellow car. I am with you and I need pic

I guess if you go gun-metal colour you won't need to clean the brake dust off them as much

I've painted rims before on a WRX to make them gold, you'll need to buy the automotive paint and then clear lacquer on top. The finishing is quite good.

Yellow with gunmetal-coloured wheels much better than white, chrome or black wheels
