HELP! Rim selection

[Surf Thrasher]

Please help... It's time for me to start ThInKiNg about a set of rims... I originally had my heart set on a white set, but then I saw someone on here's Red Eclipse with Black, so I fell across this black set that I really like... I dont plan on getting them anytime soon, but I want to have an idea for pricing and stuff... I figured with the black rims it'd look really nice with a dark tint and maybe the carbon fiber OEM hood?... any suggestions and ideas are appreciated. Thanks

Black with polished lip looks awesome.

I would prefer the white rims on your car.

how bout neither

if I had to choose black though

how bout neither

I think black rims are ugly, and white rims only look good on white cars. Anyhoo, either one in silver might look okay

Im not a big fan of either rim posted,
If you are going black,, gloss black w/ polished lip is your only choice.
Flat black looks bad usually. Try to get something that goes with your car. Unforunutly, thats harder to do on a red car w/ no black to bring together the black rims.

Neither. Keep looking.

get the black ones...i had the identical body style/ year / color , as your car and i had the white rims (excel gt7) but i had them in their gunmetal color...i didnt really like the rims very much tho, get the black ones, u will regret the white ones, they are not as nice looking on the car, trust me..

black w/ polished lip would looked real nice

I'm lookin at buying these wheels for my red 98 GST. They are 17's and the description says that the lug patter is 5x100 and 5x114.3. Will these wheels work for my car (lug patter wise)? Whats everyone think of them?

Yo, Mods! You find silly questions about weight vs balance to be worthy of closure, but at least they were in the right forum. Can you kick this cosmetic crap out of here? Please.
