Default what color rims for Matador red is350?

im thinking polished (machined silver) for a classy look, chrome would be too much bling for me.

you think bronze would be too "young" or tacky?

any pics of the matador red with bronze/gold rims?

it doesn't look too young or anything, but it looks racey

not my cup of tea though, i usually just prefer silver or gunmetal

I'm about to make your choice a whole lot harder

High-Polish



Brushed Finish



Gunmetal



Gold




The photoshop Guru has spoken!

In my opinion, all those set-ups look hot! Although if I had to choose I'd go with brushed finish.

I have to go with the brushed on a classy car like the IS- especially in that gorgeous Matador Red!

Brushed has nice visual "pop" without being blingy.

I considered gold for my red MR2 but figured I would get bored of it in a year or two. I ended up with brushed & ceramic clear coat with chrome inners & outers. Classy & sporty. Something to consider...

The brushed wheels are IForged Rev and the gold/bronze looking ones are BBS LM's

If I get some time I'll try to photoshop a mesh style in brushed finish so you can see what it looks like
