just need opinions

Im going to put these wheels on my SE

http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/roa...-10/index.html.

they're not the wheels i planned on buying but they were given to me 0$.
Im really tired of the original wheels and these are the only wheels i have for now.

So, the question is, either i leave them silver, how they are now and just polish the lip.(I tried my best to fit them on this car in Photoshop)


Or I can paint them black or 'gunmetal' as in the link, with a polished lip.


btw, I dont know whos car that is but thats the only one I found that closely resembles mine.
sorry if my Photoshop skills suck but this is just to give an idea.
Im having problems deciding on what to go with so any opinions would help.

thanks in advance,
Ernys

Black with the polished lip is the only choice.

Silv... Black

Edit: If they're already silver slap them on and see how they look in person. Hmm I'm actually leaning toward the silver now anyways after looking at the pics again.

Thats the same problem I'm having but sometimes I think its because I don't have a black one to actually fit on the car and see how it looks.Photoshop is the only glimpse i can get for the black.The silver isn't too impressive in person, I'm pretty sure the black will give it "the look".

" From the Tuner Collection", lol, that term is getting so old and screams rice to me every time I see it. Not my choice for wheels so I will have to say black. With a black car, a polished lip with black centers looks sharp.

lol, yeah I saw that.Its pretty cheesy. I think I'm going to have these until I find a set of smaller Panasports or maybe I'll just get Konig Rewinds..w/e is easier to find at the time I plan on getting them.

I normally hate the black centres, but on the black car they look ok. Nice design. Personally I'd go for the smaller size as well - don't like the look of 18s on the 1st gens. But as always, your call.

As for the colour, I'm going to sit on the fence. Put half a point on each. Haha.

S-1/2

I think black is the obvious choice here.Now I just have to find a way to paint them or get them painted and polished.
