And the Revolution...
The gunmetal would look the best if you had some darker stuff on your car to offset all the orange, for instance if the hatch surround was still black. It would probably be good tho cause I know your windows are probably tinted pretty dark.

If the car was black, or blue, white, or silver, I'd say gold. I'm extremely partial to gold rims. Love em. But with this color car, I really dislike them. Gunmetal all the way.

ok, well i just broke down and bought the wheels......... and the verdict was.... (drumroll please)
GOLD!
i got them in 18x7.5 front, and 18x9.5 rear .... i pick them up tomarrow ($577 total, including all hardware and lugnuts)
the good part is, i bought them at a local wheel shop, so if i dont like the gold wheels on the car, i can return them and get the gunmetal (as long as i dont mount tires on em')

thanx robtechfab.
i mainly wanted to see what everyone thought, then do the complete opposite
i like to be different, so if everyone likes the gunmetal ones, im gonna go w/ the gold ones but who knows, i may not like the gold ones when i put them on the car, so at least i have the option of swapping for the gunmetal ones
