G-Games 99b - opinions on a Ti-Gray
Hey everyone,
I'm seriously considering these rims, which come in a gunmetal or brushed silver finish. I've seen the pics of some forum members who have them, in both versions, but none on a Titanium gray 8. I believe someone with the gunmetal commented that they almost look black in person. Another member (BigO I think) has them in brushed silver and he posted pics in which they looked like different color wheels completely from day to night. You can see them here: https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ht=g-games+99b
I just wanted to get some opinions on which one would look best with a Ti-Gray. Here are some close-ups (ignore the fact that the brushed silver has no "G-Games" logo on the spoke). Thanks!

I say Brushed Silver...it will look better because of the contrast with ti-gray.
edited: actually I take that back...clicked on the link and it has a polished lip...that will give it contrast...gun metal!

in real life they both have g-games on the spoke... those pics that are floating around are ancient. the ones on the rayswheels.co.jp site are how they actually look in real life.
go with silver. sold my set to a guy with a silver 8... looked good. Would also look good on a Ti Gray. The gumetal will be too dark for your Ti and probably neither compliment nor contrast the color of your car. Its like when you see someone wearing dark green pants with a lighter shade green shirt - that aint right.

And this link is the best I could find quickly with the silver 99b's (thanks BigOLundh): https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...7&d=1139173088
next time my car gets totalled by a drunk driver... im gonna make sure to choke out the person who hit me before the cops get there. At least that way when i wake up sore every morning to a dead car sitting in the driveway... ill get to think of the RIP sh*thead who chose to drive drunk that night.
sorry for the rant... carry on with the regularly scheduled program. Oh and yes... get them in brushed silver. Seen polished silvers on other Ti Grays... looks great.

Aww man, I LOVE those GT-S rims. You should remember me asking you about them. I'm actually still thinking about them, but they'd be over a grand more than the 99bs, with tires. We'll see! I still need funds for new springs and shocks.
Thanks David! Car looks great!
Oh no! Another one for the gunmetal. I guess we can all agree these would look good either way... unfortunately I'm right back where I started.
