Question Opinions Needed RE: Rims

Hi all,

I just wanted to ask for any opinions about what color/finish of rims would look good on a Graphite RX? I've already decided against chrome, but I still don't know which would look best. Hypersilver? Gunmetal? Silver? Any other suggestions?

Also, do any of you know of any websites that show how certain rims would look on a particular color of cars? I know of tirerack.com, but the wheel selection there is terrible.

Thank you all in advance.

Graphite wheels?!!!! I'm interested in your stock 16 inch graphites. As far as your aftermarket rims? I like the hyper silver ones like Volks. Check them out. There are many rims out there ranging from 18 inches to 20 inches with forums too. Read the threads and learn what to do and not do. How much for your graphites? =) First dibs on them, OK? HarrierRX300 gotz first dibs on them ok, Paddy? Spinteews, etc. =)

Thanks a lot for responses.

I actually like how the graphites look, but I've always planned on getting rims for whatever car I get.


I'm leaning toward keeping my graphites though....but *if* I do decide I need someone to take them off my hands, it'll be a 1st come, 1st serve deal--sound good Harrier


How much could I get for the graphites anyway? I'm just wondering...don't get too excited just yet

Heehee... Paddy, I was surfing too. Rinnogg, as far as the graphites, I ask the dealer about the graphite prices. They said they're $1500 without tires!!!! I was like damn. I told him I wanted to swap my stock ones for the graphite. He said he can do $100 off per tire totalling $400 or $1100 without tires. A little too much for stocks I think. Anyways, Paddy, me and you are on for the race for them graphites if he sells it. Wait..... I'm in the lead for first and you're second.... *poof....(supercharger kicking in.... do they make those for us? )

Rinndogg.... thanks for the first dibs.... *promise?

but ya... and i come back today and hear Rinn mite be parting with her graphites... I WANT FIRST Dibs... but as we can ALL see... i'm third... like they say... first is the worst, 2nd is the best, 3rd is the one with the golden chest...

but man i'd wonder how those graphite would look on my silversport...

haha good luck... if no graphite for me... i MIGHT just go with stock chrome... i'm not for chrome... but it DOES look nice... sometimes haha... but if not then 18's or 19's it is... but with what money?? lol
