    Opinions on the wheels

    I want to get some opinions on the wheels I am going to get for my car.
    I cant decide on the color to get.
    What color would look best on my white 3g?

    They are exel TZ-5

    hmm.. I dont think white rims on a white car would go... the 2 colors of white will be different anyway.

    I like the gunmetal, personally. Silver's always a safe route to go though. Wanna buy me some, too, while you're at it?? We could have matching 3g's...lol

    I think it might be a better idea to go with the silver, sure white would look nice on a white car because it matches but what happens you get in some sort of accident? decide to sell it? The silver rims are more generic and interchangeable and wouldn't look bad like white rims would on other colors. Thats just my opinion, and why I'm going to buy silver rims instead of white for my 3g...

    i would say silver or even gunmetal. don't get black ones. that goes back to the JDM look that EVERYBODY was trying to have. it's getting a little played out, like the neons and altezzas and all that. you do what you want, don't follow the big trend. that's the cool thing about cars. outside the box thinking.

    my concerns

    if I were you I would try to stay away from any wheel that has more than one finish, like (clear coat and powder coat that meet) these two materials dont bond together and therefore you will get some kind of chipping. go with something that has the same finish all the way through. imo
