(edit- truly don't mean anny offense...just thought I'd post this to get even with Gold wheel haters )
You must have seen Mike (dorifto88) this past weekend, didn't you?

i have gunmetal wheels and love em. I don't like the "BLING BLING" crome look at all. it's too rice.
the dark colored wheels comes for GT race cars. And i like to think of my car as a "race car" and not a "cruiser"

long live dark wheels

Hey, dark wheels are cool... I have anthracite but I also like the dark bronze ones too, though I'm not much of a fan of the straight black wheels. Black looks ok on some Subies but not all.

OK I confess... I actually like gunmetal alot. I can understand the appreciation for gold-on-white, but I'm not a fan of it. Gunmetal on white would probably look OK, but not great. My favorite color combo though, is the WRB with volk gunmetal. crap-my-pants. But hey, everyone has WRB or silver. So I have white on white (on white....boy)

I just picked up some steel grey subzeros w/ polished lips. I've always had silver rims so buying darker rims was a change. IMHO, they look good on my red car (except for the rubbing ).

i agree..they do look good on red.

the understated oem rims look good, IMO. te37's and ssr's are nice too....

I have gunmetal becuase 1) they are P1's and the P1 car in Britian came with gunmetal rims, and 2) I am too lazy to clean my wheels all the time so it hides dust really well. But soon I will switch for gold or bronze.
