White RX-8 Paintshops made

Hey I was pretty bored this afternoon so I decided to go ahead and paintshop (since i don't have photoshop) some pics of my 8.

Right now I'm trying to decide which 19 inch rims look best on the white: The RO_JA R2-5's or the Volk Racing SF Challenge's. I'm most likely gonna go for either the gunmetal on the volks or the black on the RO_JA's but I'm not sure which will look better. It would be great if I could get some opinions from you guys, on color, quality, and just basic opinions.

The first pic is to show how my RX-8 looks at the moment.

Heres the paintshopped pics.
To the Left are the RO_JA rims.
To the right are the Volk Racing rims.
If you guys have any better pics of white 8's with these rims, please post.

\\Konig\\ ~ in my opinion, I think the Volk SF looks better on the white 8. The RO_JA, although nice rims, the black gives too much contrast against your car; you could barely tell the shape of the rims, except the lip.

In some way, it looks a bit "ricey" for me because I've seen so many Civics and RSX's going for the similar look.

~ my 2 cent

BTW, you did a pretty good job on the photoshop.

audioslave: I don't really think i'll be getting white rims since the car is more of a pearl color and I believe those are 18's, but thank you for the pic nonetheless.

sociopath: Thanks, and I get what your saying about the black on white, but I like how the only two colors on my 8 are black and white (besides the chrome on the outer lip of the rim) which is why I was leaning more towards the RO_JA's.

Also I forgot to mention the Axis Hiros. Those are also on my list of choices...geez choosing the best set of rims is hard...

I don't know about Axis Hiros, I mean they're good rims, they look really nice, but compared to RO_JA and Volk, its a different class don't you think? I was considering Axis Rims, but I went with Enkei's instead for better quality, I think.

The gunmetal Volks look the best IMO.
