I have a Red 99 eclipse and I am getting some 17" rims soon and i had originally planned to get silver rims, but i was lookin at my car today and realized that most the things on my car are darker, such as the headlights, front bumper grill, window tint ect. so i started thinking maybe the gunmetal color(or whatever other names they call it) would be better because it goes with the car better. Anyone think this would be true or if i should go with silver. I havent seen a red/gunmetal combo so i dont have anything to work with on how well it will work. thanks :dsm:
 
yeah, i like the look of red and gunmetal ecspecially if it will match other stuff on the car. so i would go w/ the gunmetal, but thats just my opinion.
 
depending on the kinda rims if they are spoked you can paint the inner walls red and the outer walls gunmetal
 
ok now imagine these are gunmetal, and done with a airbursh, not mspaint.

for anyone who is undecided between silver or gunmetal, hyper black or black chrome is the way to go. It'll look high gloss silver in light, and gunmetal in the shade. I personally got hooked on dark wheels with a polished lip once I tried a set on. :thumb:
 
This one is hyperblack and i think this is the color i want. its not black but its not silver

I think having the entire rim gunmetal on a red car makes the car look a little dull as evidence with the above picture.
