I have a newly painted 94 to IBM with 99 spec parts...
I am debating wheels and am thinking about some volks...
what do you think would look good with the paint? I think the silver would be good but "standard"....what about the RMC?
1) Rays Metal Coat (RMC) this would be unique as I don't think I have seen it here in the states
2) Mercury Silver?

Wow those thumbs cam out small...
here is a link to a guy with a Spirit R IBM with the original gunmetal wheels that he switched to more of a light silver for comparision.

ahhhh good to have opinions...
I just have never seen a car set up like that except for a black porsche with gunmetal wheels...it just looked MEAN.
FD3boost, what rims are you looking at? I love the LOOK of the HRE 840r's but can't stand to pay that price or know that there are other lighter wheels out there.
The Volk MAG series looks impressive...and I would hope the weight reduction would be substantial...the looks on the other hand aren't to my liking

Get the Volk and be done with it.

and the poll is pretty close...
BTW, I just saw a Porsche with some Kinesis on them
tough call. i agree that the silver is a little plain. i also think gunmetal isn't quite the right color for ibm. the tones don't mesh well. is white out of the question for you? even black (preferably flat black) would be better than gm if you like the darker look.

Looking forward to seeing this thing some day. Some of us actually drive our FDs all the time
