Is the top of your car black? It's hard to tell by the pic. Any way if it is I'd go with the gunmetal. But if it's aal the same color than go wwit the silver.

Ya the car has a black top and black trunk.

Remember everyone, this is to get opinions I like both rims so there is not a right or wrong answer. You don't have to write anything either just vote THANKS!!

I have the gun metal on my 95 (silver though) and I like them. What size are you going with? 17? 18?

 

[yhype]

Gunmetal would be my vote.

The 17's only come in 7"; the 18's come in 7.5" or 8" wide
so I think I wanna swing the 18's to run some 245's
Want to post a pic? of yours?

Gunmetal would be my vote.

Ya It's kind of a toss up in my head they are both sweet but as stated above I think the gun-metal would go well with the black top talon

Those look darn good. Are those the 18's and what size tire are you running?

 

[Rsawd95dsm]

Yea 18 by 8. And 235/(I believe 45)R18

29 pounds is actually really heavy. That will in turn affect steering response. However the grey looks badass

 

[lasershark]

Ended up getting some avid's 17x9 +35 weighed in at just over 20lbs (old dial scale not digital but when I put a 20lbs weight on it it says 20 lbs ) Figured I would share some pics

Nice choice. Those look better than the first two choice IMHO

Looks good. Another thing to keep in mind if you ever wanted to change the color of your rims for a season that plasti-dip is always a good option. Completely reversible too. I've had a few urges lately to darken mine just for a change.

hey thanks, I am really liking them.

Always a good thing to have options. How long does the plasti dip last before it starts peeling? I haven't really messed with it yet.

It depends. If you end up kissing the curb while turning or parallel parking then I guess not so long . But really though I have asked a few local guys about how long they have had theirs on and a couple guys have been over a year with no issues. They don't drive in winter though so I cannot vouch for that. It is decently tough stuff. I look at it this way. It adds a layer of protection and gives you the colour you want for a decently cheap price range. If a rock hits it and you get a little bit of a peeling tear, well its better than the rock hitting the paint direct on. Either way that rock probably will leave a chip on your paint or your dip. It depends what you want to do with the dip. Some guys run it just because their rims or body parts of their cars are becoming a bit of a eyesore, and it does make things look pretty decent. Some like it for protection, and some like it cause its a completely reversible colour change plus some added protection. Your rims look good the way they are now. If you decide you want something different down the road sometime its just an option.

Gotcha thanks for the insight, I was just gathering some info, not for these rims but for some other rims I have. My buddy at work had his peel fast but I'm sure that was due to improper cleaning.
