#97194, "Rim Color Vs. Paint Color"
Nov-09-06 04:02 PM by Slammed0

          

Well, I updated my nose and did some other stuff to the car. It needs repainted. I was thinking about going the same color. Its the stock blue with purple pearl. Anyways, I am looking to get some 18s and want to know what you all think would be the best looking (color) rim on this car. I was going to go with chrome, but have found other rims to be way cheaper. I am not big into silver. This Black Hyper has caught my attention. But I can't tell what color they are? They almost look polished. Or, Maybe I should just paint the car red. Black rims look great on red cars imo


Here is the car color:


Here is a "Black Hyper" Rim:

Correct yourself, he said black rims look best on red cars. lol. I'd have to agree a black car looks fcking sweet with the right ride height and rims.

Gunmetal, hyper black, black. Who knows, get some photo chops done, i mean your color is rarer / uniqer, so it will be much harder to pick a color to match it.

I have to agree with ed on this one. Red = winnAr.

But if you're going to keep your stock color, I'd go with that hyper black or gunmetal.

if you want to go a different color on the car, go dark metallic blue. so beautiful. dark silver, almost a pewter, is also beautiful. black wheels look good on both those colors.

Ew, yeah. If you do repaint it though and pull it off, it'll be the first DSM that has kept that color intentionally. Just don't mess up. emoji

And hyper black is like a dark silver sort of.
