bronze, gold, gunmetal gst rims?


ok so the chrome on my gst rims are peeling off and i plan on sanding it off soon (those rims have my winter tires on them) but i cant seem to make a choice on what color i want them. i dont want black because that is what my car is and its just not me. the rims i have on it now are gunmetal and i love how they look on a black car. ive seen someone with gold on a red dsm and they look awsome. i just cant make up my mind any pics or suggestions would be awsome thanks.

NOOO polished lip, there are VERY few applications where that actually looks good. It looked good when it first came around, now it just looks generic IMO.

I like the bbs gold rims. Those are hot and would look good on a black dsm. That what i'll be putting on mine when i get them.

I painted mine bronze and red calipers and I think they look great even though my car paint is not. A little dirty.

I definitely say gunmetal. I have the spokes on my wheels painted gunmetal with the red anodized lip. People tell me they love my rims all the damn time. Seriously gets the most attention on my car.
