gunmetal or white on TW?

I am thinking to change the rims to either gunmetal or white 16" on my TW.

which color looks better?
who has either one of them?
I'd love to see pictures.
Thanks!!

Alex

I have seen a TW with white rims and it looked pretty clean. I have been looking for "affordable" white rims for well over 2 months and still looking.

Hope someone has some pictures to help you out.

Go gunmetal.

IMO, it's harder then most people think to pull of white on white.

White on white looks cleaner IMO I don't care what other ppl say. Keeping the wheels cleaner is a big pita, but definitely worth it. White rega's, mf10's, etc. would all look good on your car. I guess rota's too =P, but of course I'm gonna only recommend the expensive stuff =P

My vote is for white!!!

If I had a TW (and I would if they had offered it in 07 here in Canada.... ) I would have put on a white rim with a simple 5 wide spoke pattern OR high spoke count like the OZ Superturismo. That would be killer



lol, I have probably put more thought into it than I should have

Yeah the work emos are pretty expensive if you're looking for a set of white wheels.
if you're on a budget i'd suggest getting a set of knockoffs or looking for good deals in the fs forum.
it all depends man, how much are you willing to spend?

i'd have to admit these are my first set of white wheels and i'm constantly on them 24/7 to keep them clean lol

it will also depend on the size you want...i would say rota or konigs for that budget...OR just wait another month(s) and save your money and get some better ones

BTW, my buddy runs bronze CR Kais on his STI, and I think the color combo is perfect:
