Silver or Chrome - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #12002 18 posts Started by CupCrazy38
I'm in the process of choosing out some rims for my car. My problem is, I'm really torn between wether to get Silver Painted or chrome rims....

I've got a 97 ST Coupe, Silver.

Any suggestions?

Personally, I kind of like this: http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/233.gif

dont go chrome, i only like it on dark cars and i think it wouldn't go good with silver.

i would get some darker rims on a silver car. maybe gunmetal. get chrome if you want to be flashy. have you thought about hyperblack?

If you will notice on the site, they only have the 5x114 bolt pattern, so they won't fit your car >frown.gif> . But i love these. Excel Radius or these excel prime i almost bought those instead of the rh-5's. just a suggestion.

MISS THE CELI, BUT...
Get graphite/gun metal or silver w/ polished lip.
No, I'm not a fan of black wheels at all. Just not appealing to me. Not too sure about gun metal... haven't really seen them in person... though they don't look bad in pictures.

Then your choice should be silver rims.
If you wanna stand out, get something other than silver. Chrome on silver would not look good. With silver paint, I'm extremely partial to gunmetal.

i think the radius would look great on a silver car >smile.gif> i love those gunmetal/black with polished lip. especially when they are in motion, super sexC!
i will have these on my car on friday (hopefully, they are in the mail now >smile.gif> ). if you want to see them we could hook up somewhere.

Chrome wheels like thin 5-spokes with a lip look nice...
