what color am i looking for?

im trying to buy new rims soon... bbs either rgr or rsgt... i cant really tell the difference but i think maybe its just that the rgr is one piece and rsgt is two?

since my car is dark red with a black lip, im trying to make it looks completely evil with red and black only. definitely going to powder coat fmic when i get it.

but I dont know anything about color and im having a hell of a time finding my answer.

i want it to be like a dark silver. ive seen pictures of gunmetal but they just kinda look dark gray. flat black is not very pretty either. im currently using stock rims powdercoated and they are not very shiny... looks like spare tires. and the stock rims are just ugly.

but im wondering if "diamond black" is what im looking for or maybe something darker... cuz i dont want it to be too bling.

so basically i want it dark, but i'd like it not to look completely evil, not like spare tires...?

and lip color? no lip color?

thanks!

this is using fireworks at school since the comptuers dont have photoshop

DBK is the darkest you can get with either of those wheels. And yes, the RGR's are a forged one piece whereas the RG-ST are 2-piece forged.

I like the color you painted the car, very nice. However, I don't like those gunmetal rims with it. Just makes the car look like you have really dirty brake dust covered wheels. Go DBK in the BBS, or better yet, Diamond Silver, but I thought I heard those had to be specially orderd and take a while to get.

Paint the front lip too!
