Guys, biggest reason holding me back from 18's is that i dunno whether to get silver, chrome or light gold wheels for my silver euro...

Would just like some opinions...?

Personally I would get something that has a gun metal colour. But silver on silver actually looks ok. Whether it looks good or not has more to do with the rim design. Chrome imo doesn't look good unless you really like the bling bling.

yeah dont go gold
on a silver, silver mat rims look alrite...perhaps sometimes with a chrome outline
chrome on silver is not bad, but to me theres something that doesnt look "right" about it
personally chrome would look better on a darker colour such as black or graphite or dark maroon or something, but each to their own

what style u lookin for? u got a pic of the rims u thinkin of getting?

Wheel choice more important than wheel finish.

I like polished lip rims with silver spokes like some of those mega dollar jap rims.

Gold can look good on Silver, I am partial to the gold rims on the current Sti in Silver.

Silver is ok. Chrome takes the attention away from the car, black is just odd for a silver car. I'd go silver, or something slightly darker. No gold for me.

black is just odd for a silver car.

Mate this has been a classic in Japan for a long time especially with a polished lip.



The reality is that wheels are so subjective that you should get what ever you like just make sure the offset and tyre size is right.

oooh..i too find that silver is a real hard colour to match.....i understand bro@! But i think the best bet would be to do Polished Silver...not chrome or any other.

Gunmental looks good as well. bronze wpuld look a bit obscure though.

I like black wheels on a red, yellow, blue or black car.. but for silver and white... it's a bit odd, because the detail of the rims will be lost when people look at a bright coloured car. Yellow with black is nice because it looks fo racy!

my friend got 19" on his euro and it looks really nice.
If you want to go for looks, go for 19" but if you want a bit of performance, 18" is the answer

I reckon, silver polish or hyperblack will go nicely a silver. say NO to chromies..lol...

i dont think 18s will give the car any performance they might be lighter all depends what wheels you choose! polished silver would be he choice though

Lol im not held back by limiting performance regarding 19s, its the price of the rubber.

chrome aint my thing, my next choice is something along the gold line or gunmetal, makes the car stands out more with diff colour rims to the car

From 18s to 19s the price jumps at least $800+ for most of the ones i like.

Im not gunna settle for the taiwanese or wateva rubber too tho :(

Wanna get em before our Syd Winter Cruz :)
