#18299, "Rims and Tint"


          

Ok I posted this in the pits but this really is a better section to ask this.. I have a silver 99 Eclipse GS w/ black leather interior, I love the way the Konig Verdicts look on our cars so im going with a set of 18x8s but what finish should I get Silver or Opal? heres a pic of them both http://konigwheels.com/catalog_product_details.cfm?CategoryID=1&ss_id=10&ss_categoryName=Verdict also what do you think would look better mirror tint or limo?

i think i would go with the opal on a silver car. my car is white so i went with the silver, but you want the color a little off from the body. also 18x8s look so much better on these cars. i will never forget the first day i say my baby with bigger feet! i was so proud!

anyway, it will look good either way.

I'm not totally positive, but I believe I have a 5% tent job. My sig isn't the greatest pic but it can give you the idea. The dark color looks awesome on silver, and personally I think that mirror would be too overboard on a silver car.

mirror tint is illegal and a half emoji i'd go with limo, it looks aggressive and clean at the same time.
