What color rims look good on a silver car?

So I'm semi-shopping for a nice set of rims and I kind of noticed that bronze rims don't look great on a silver car. So I just wanted to get people's opinions what rim colors look good on silver car? I know that black and silver automatically look good, but what about other colors like gold, etc? Pics would be nice too!

Thanks! Gold doesn't look half as bad as I thought! Might consider going gold FTW!

You wont believe me until you see it, but gold looks REALLY good with a silver car.

Silver with silver car looks so damn boring... But if you want a sleeper, I guess thats fine.

Another color combo that looks AWESOME is, black wheels with a red lip. Again, you'll knock it until you see it. I had a set of Rotas that were replicas of Volk TE-37s basically, black with red lip and they looked absolutely amazing on my friend's silver car! The red matches the red in the tail lights and brakes (if you have subaru 4 pots).

My wheels looked like this:



Trust me, they would look GREAT on your silver car. It makes the car look way more aggressive.

Gold = stands out a bit more, and looks "JDM"

Silver = plain, and sleeper

black, or black w/red lip = super aggressive

Ultimately, the choice is yours. Make your car the way you want it to look. But, I say gold or black.

Silver BBS is best IMO.

I don't like silver on gold... My 2 cents...

Agreed with Ballz.


Gold will give you a more unique look since most people don't have gold wheels because only Subies and EVO can pull them off (with the exception with a few other cars)

Black is really nice, but very common

Black with red lip is REALLY nice and not all that common like regular black wheels.


If I were you, I'd get gold or black+red wheels.
