What Colour Should I Change My Wheels To?

[ellie]

I've got a great set of wheels I love but I'm also pedantic and have some gutter scrape on 1 rim and a few stone chips on the others. So with new tyres to be fitted I was thinking that I might change the colour of my rims? Anyone who has owned white rims knows my pain! I originally thought of a gun metal but I'm now leaning towards a bronze metalic (probably the same shade as the drift tek range).

So. . .What do you reckon and can people please post up picture of red 32's with bronze/gold or gunmetal rims?

Here is a couple of shots of my car 1. with my white rims and 2. with mine on the front and a pair of bonze works on the back (to darker bronze IMO)

I would go black wheels.

Black wheels ftw

Already got that as my everyday set. . . . And the rims I want to change are rare original Nto3's that were imported a while back which have an intricate design of the interwebing between spokes. Any wheel that has any form of interesting detail seems to get dulled/blended away into the rest of the rim if it is a dark colour, IMO.

Black stockies look tuff, then lower it about 2" you be looking sweet.

Onter suggestion I go Bronze.

Nice thread I have the same colour car and was thinking of going a darker rim also. I love bronze volks or the dark gunmetal seen on work rims.

I think a dark colour like gunmetal grey or black would look really good IMO

I like the stockies black also Thats why i got them professionally sprayed as a daily kick around rim by a mate so I wouldn't be disappointed.

We think on the same level. Volk bronze and Work gun = . as long as you buy the real deal and not imitations

White was one of the factors that caused me to buy these rims! They are the original Nto3's (without multistud and centre hub webbing), Super light at only 8.2kg and these ones were imported from japan by a friend of mine to run targa. The reason he imported them is because Enkei has never sold these in white here + the obvious weight and quality of the rim. But after 3-4 years in my hands they are starting to look dull and i've had it up to the moon with having to clean such an intricate wheel in white

Thank you for your opinions and everyone is more than welcome to add their comments/vote but I am 100% solid that black is never going to happen! It is no MCR touge monster!

Gold FTW

I reckon a silver or gunmetal will looks good on your car.

Have to go white, this is my Red R32 GTR the only photo i have with stock wheels is on the track, but i think it looks crap, looks alot better with white wheelsthat i have on in the other photo.

Well looks like everyone is just as divided as me! This was the bronze I'm leaning towards. . . .

This is an old pic and the car has been lowered but you get the idea. . . .
