maybe it's just me, but gunmetal always makes rims look dirty, or at least not as clean as silver. Silver looks bad ass on black cars also emoji

either way there velox rims so you can't go wrong emoji sorry I have been wanting a set of velox rims for along time. Anyways I have a black eclipse and would go with gunmetal but either one is going to looks very good so go with what you think looks good if nothing else have a member photoshop them onto your car and decide from that emoji

it depends on what kind of a look you are going for with your car. If you want a bad ass "mean car" look, then putting gunmetal rims on a black car would accomplish that very well. If you want to go with the "somewhat flashy" look(not being chrome), then you should go with the silver. IMO, I like black cars with gunmetal rims.

I think i am leaning towards the gunmetal rims, but am not quite sure yet, i suppose if i got those and didn't like them after a while i could have them powdercoated to a silver color.

TIA
Ryan

i like silver on dark cars gunmetal on ligheter colored cars. the contrast is what it's about. you want them to stand out a bit. on a black car silver would stand out more and draw attention so that would be better in my opinion

I only like dark rims when they have the polished center and/or polished lip. I think they stand out more. Otherwise, it looks like you don't have wheels at all. emoji

Almost a carbon copy of the Konig Verdicts except for inside the race, U will definitely like the flashing effect from the side view on a nice sunny day if u get the shiny ones, I got the high luster silver and they look almost chrome when theyre nice and clean, Im quite sure the two of them are manufactured by the same company somewhere in Tokyo no doubt. my pics not the best I bought a new digicam but the dam thing wont upload pics to my computer im taking it back quickly, but go with the ones that give that bling bling shine they call it gunmetal but mine were listed as high luster silver.

my cousin had black rims on his black wrx and it looked great. So i would go with the black.

I was right there with him untill the light turned green.
