    don't listen to mike....get gunmetal, gunmetal on white is awesome, and on a 3g i'd look for rims without too many spokes, something like 6-10 spoke

    Get big Blingin PLATES with spinners!!!!!!!! j\p. nice Sporty ones. not those Thin spoke ones, if ur getting Gunmetal, get it with a Dish lip, and polished Lip. White on white. is a little iffy. Black one white isnt to bad, though it also needs a polished lip. and other Color rims besdies Crome, White, Black, gunmetal. justs looks Ghey IMO.

    helll yeah gunmetal [black] looks sick on any color car. especialy white, red and black cars. chrome looks great on black and white cars. i think chrome can be a bit much though. ncie powder coated rims look hella nice too.

    my suggestion start looking around ebay.....local shops....online stores......find some rims in your price range and then post the pics here if you need help deciding. the choice is up too you but ive been pulled between choices and posting here helps as the tie breaker....heh heh....anyways....good luck and hope to see some pics. i see your a newbie so you may not know how to post pics.

    to post a pic find the URL of the pic [click right, properties, image url] and then copy it....and post it here with the Image tags. NOOOOO SPACES. i will only use spaces as an expamle. NO SPACES.

    otheriwise just link the site and tell us which rims/or ebay auction link

    Chrome makes me think of Big Tymers or some types of "POSERS", I like the gunmetal with white. Black is not good with white. Major contrast and it looks cheezy imo.

    Make up your own mind. Get what YOU like. (Unless of course, you are only building a car so you fit in)

    I've never liked black rims on any car but there's lots of ppl that do. The appearance of your car is a reflection of you so do whatever you think makes your car look good. Screw everyone else. Since you asked though, I like white wheels on a white car. Gunmetal is too close to black for me.

    Harsh

    You asked "Yea im lookin to get some rims in the next few weeks. I have a 2 door white LXI. I wanna know which color 17's i should get and what design (# of spokes) looks good. Gun Metal, silver, black...i need some help deciding, post yalls pics and help me out here. Thanks"

    Your asking for opinions because "I need some help deciding".

    Pearldrops reply to you was only trying to get you to use your own power to think and decide for yourself, not to just follow the whime and will of others.

    Pearldrop wrote:
    "Make up your own mind. Get what YOU like. (Unless of course, you are only building a car so you fit in)"

    Theirs nothing harsh in what he said, just remember you created a thread where you are asking for imput. His reply is harmless and given this whole subjects past, could have been extreamly mean and cruel. We've had some serious fights on the whole wheel color thing. Pearldrop is one of the boards good guys, not a harsh speaker at all.
