What color wheel would look good on this? Opinions please...

At first I was thinking full polished, then I was thinking gloss black with a polished lip since there is a lot of gloss black trim on this car. I also think a nice gold wheel with a polished lip would look good. I came across these XXR's with a copper lip....I really like these wheels but I dunno how it would look on the BRM. Let me know what you think...

Those wheels will look bad on anything.

Especially that color Fit.

Go with white or dark grey, both work very nicely on teal. I know this from experience.

I vote white.

Reps should stay a solid color, whenever they try to pull off a polished or colored lip they end up looking extremely cheezy. It's like it's trying to be a two-piece but you can see where the material meets and the cutoff looks retarded.

At least the old school reps (80's-early 90's) leave an indention at the end of the lip so it's not so easy to tell. I've seen Konigs that have that but XXRs don't.

I dunno. I think the orange would give nice contrast (or whatever the term is).

White, gunmetal, or the stock alloy. if you think you like a specific color, go get some white plastidip and some spray paint, then paint your wheels the color you think you might like. if you don't like it, peel it right off and try again.

White on that color would be my vote. black is overdone and often looks like you have steelies on. Cheapens the look of the car.

Euro, I didnt know what wheels you had. I knew you had XXR's, but I didnt think they were these. Which XXR's do you have on your fit beaner?

Idk if they are even mine. Just giving you a hard time. Lol.

Buy the wheels that make you happy. It's your car, not ours. I don't give much of a shit what anyone thinks about mine. I love it

Over the years and seeing about 1000 "teal" 92-95 hatchbacks Ive always liked bronze with that color. When I see guys running that color hatch its usually all JDM'd out and fitted with bronze wheels and I love the look.

Gunmetal would look good as well, so would black (but that sceen is a lil on the played out side), silver would actually look pretty good, white would look too "cartoony" IMO, the wheels you showed didnt look all that bad either.... but Im a bronze wheel guy.

Don't get those wheels! I think my gold Konig Feathers or some bronze would look nice. White is always a good choice.

Yea I think that would be about the best...... That color is kinda hard to work with.
