on a silver subie i'd go with Silver, grey, black, matt black, gunmetal, or hyper black. im not a fan of the gold. its like mixing metals. i have black ultraleggeras right now, going to get either flat black or Hyper black next. i dont think bronze looks too bad. its mostly just a matter of self opinion

It all depends on the wheel and the personal style of your car IMO!

I like this guy "Z3RO's" black bbs

I've had steel grey, and bronze, and now silver! I thought silver may be too boring but I like the subtlety, and it still looks racey!

no, you were on point the first time. silver wheels are pretty boring, esp all silver ones. silver w/polished lips or machined/brushed faces migh look a lil better.

my second set of wheels were some platinum silver VOLK TE-37s. i had them on for less than a week cuz i couldn't stand how boring they looked. my ride's not silver but still.... i sold them to my friend (who promptly painted them black those suckers were pactically brand spanking new!? oh, and he bent 2 of them a month later hopping a berm into a ditch @ Willow Springs.

anyways, i went w/gunmetal w/polished lip LE-37Ts and haven't looked back. they're not HeLLaFLuSh, but i still get compliments on them darn near every time i roll my bucket out.

silver rides need contrast.
gold & white clash too much.
black is pretty good on silver, but a lil too dark for some.
gunmetal & bronze are the best colors on silver, imo. they offer just enough contrast w/out making your wheels stick out like eyesores.

i don't think gold&white clashes its more like standing out catching ppls eye, you aren't out there to color match a house or a room you want it to be distracting unless you wanna be less noticed(sleeper)

but most dark colors are good with silver

my bad adizon.....i wasn't taking a shot at you or your ride. i was & am still on i-club w/my phone and your pics don't show for some reason, so i didn't know you have white wheels. i still don't like white wheels, but that is just my own opinion+preference tho.

^^ lol gimme a break.....i was walking around downtown sf+union square all day. my dogs are hurt, my brain is fried, and i haven't eaten since noon.

ok, adizon has SILVER wheels & i need to stop browsing i-club with my phone!

screw it, just get a glue gun and bedazzle yourself a set of wheels. you'll be blingin for sure & have the tightest, most unique whip on the block!
