Black or Chrome, what do you guys think?
do you think black rims with a chrome lip would look nice or chrome rims?
We are looking at 20" wheels. My wife and I keep changing our minds...........help
We've seen Angleslex wheels and have done a ton or research but can't come to a decision.
Mainly went to tirerack and are debating between these:

Z13 Luina or these:

Personally, I love the shine of chrome on a black vehicle. I'm not a big colored rim fan except for on very few cars with a race look to them... and even then I think that something else would look even better.

I've thought about hyper-black or gun metal, but they may look to close to the graphite wheels that come with the sport already.
Thanks for everyones comments!!
I called Tirerack and the rep said that I should only stick with the 2005 selections for the GX as opposed to the 2003's. Doesn't make much sense to me, but he said something about the tire presure monitor may be affected. Its essentially the same vehicle and I planned on putting a 3-way swtich to ground the TPM wire when not in use and in the winter when I put back the OEM wheels and tires i'll enable it again. I think I'll just go ahead and order them anyway. I seriously doubt that there would be rubbing issue or fittment issues between the 03 and 05's

Thanks angelslex for the link.
I might give you a buzz when the time comes to do this mod.
still deciding what wheels and tires we want to put on the GX. Maybe I am being difficult but we want to go with 285/50/20 for the tires on the wheels (20x8.5) we are looking at. the overall diameter would be 0.6 inches larger at 31.1 and the OEM overall diameter is 30.6, this translates into a 1.2mph difference at 65mph. The measured rim width for the tires is 8-10 inches and the wheels fall in between that range at 8.5. I think it will work fine, but I seem to get conflicting opinions.
