Full Version: Need Some Help Choosing A Wheel Finish

Alright Guys, after an exhaustive search, i've found the wheel i want, only problem is I cant seem to decide what finish.

Either Hyper Silver like i have on the car now:


Or a Gunmetal with a polished lip:


I'm leaning towards the gunmetal, just as kind of a change of pace...but i am torn because i know the silver will look good, but there's a chance the gunmetal wont...

Car as it sits:

gunmetal FTW

definitely gunmetal.

+3 on the gunmetal.
hsssss
I had the same problem when i was looking for rims, I picked more of a gunmetal (Anthracite) and i was happy on the look....does make the wheels stand out more i think .
DR. GONZO
Gun metal all day dude
JonT
gunmetal!!

gunmetal only if you do the whole wheel gunmetal. If not the other choice.

Imho buy the cheaper one then have them painted the same grey as on your car

I feel like if you go gunmetal and it doesn't match the grey on your car then it's gonna look sloppy.

That is my biggest worry. Luckily I think Town Fair carries Enkei so i'm going to swing by and see if they have any in stock, try to get a look at it next to the car. I'm thinking i have a couple shades of leeway, but some of the pics of the wheel i found make them look black (which i agree would probably look sloppy). When i get a pic i'll post it...but as long as its close i'm thinking the gunmetal should be ok...

Well I couldn't find anyone that carried them locally, so i ordered them online. I was a little nervous about how much darker they would be than the body paint.

The wheels arrived today....they are a shade or two darker than the body paint, but i think it's close enough to keep them....





thoughts?

They look good. Now gets some pictures with them on the car.

Whelp...had to replace my clutch, ran into some issues...got them mostly sorted out (still have an extra nut from re-assembly and a rattle i can't pinpoint...best guess is they're related) and went and had them put on.

I like them for the most part. But the ride home sealed it for me, car rides like a dream compared to the 19's

Not bad, I like them better than your old 19s
