Rims for Montego
Greetings,

I'd like to solicit your opinions on which rims I should get for my Montego 3rd Gen. I'd be very interested to see photos of a Montego with black rims. Pictures of your Montego with other rims also appreciated.



Cheers,

Zelig

i saw a set of stock wheels that had been powder coated black on a montego blue fd w/o spoiler this weekend....it looked "ok" but i would go with either silver, chrome, or a bronze color. here is max cooper's car with black wheels though:

Just chrome your factory wheels
They look great, unless you want bigger wheels...

Thanks guys... I haven't seen it myself, but I've heard that gun metal with a chrome lip looks really good on montego? Any pics or thoughts?

I'm almost thinking the stock rims look the best on the Montego...

Can anyone convince me differently?

here is a dark green nsx (almost montego blue) with bronze te37's to give you idea of the mix. it's kind of dark out but trust me it looks good.

How much could I get a set of bronze wheels for? I don't need anything super duper fancy... just something adequate.
