o_O I think you should upgrade to stock alloy wheels....

Probably that whiteish silver to match your paint? That'd look great.

It looks like your fairly handy with a rattle can, I'm sure you can come up with something lol

In all seriousness, find something that you like. There are plenty of picture threads and way to many "pic my wheels for me" threads on this forum. Look through a few of them, I'm sure you will find a wheel/color combo that you like.

you need wheels before you can pick a color. and if you get actual "new" wheels then whatever color they come in will look nice. if they are used, have them nickle plated. this will equal win.

well i dont think color should be the main aspect, you should chose which wheels you like first, then see color options.

Wheels are a big investment, and should do some homework on them.

Do you like 16, 17, 18? Get a size intended for a rear wheel drive car, nothing like 17x7 18x7.
