Default Aftermarket Wheels

Hey Everyone,

I have a 2016 Lexus IS 350 Fsport in black with red interior. I'm looking to purchase a set of summer rims as I made my factory fsport rims my winters. I like the style of the Enkei Raijin wheels and TSW nurburgring. Having difficulty deciding if I want to go with black rims or gunmental. I also recently blacked out all the chrome trim using 3M vinyl. Please share your thoughts on what colour rims to go with and colour suggestions for painting the calipers.

thanks

I have a pearl white IS250 and I made a mistake going with black wheels (They are WORK Emotion Kiwami). Reason I say this because black hides the design details of the wheel and makes the wheel look smaller than it actually is since the tire itself is already black. I'm planning to refinish these wheels in gunmetal, or even bronze.

So for a black car I think gunmetal would suit it nicely, even bronze as well.

I have a set of OE F-sport wheels finished black I am selling. I personally prefer the gunmetal myself.

Really no suggestions as it's all up to your opinion of what you like.

Check out 1010Tires.com...they have a warehouse in Mississauga, and the company is based out of BC.
There's also Steelcase Tire'n'mag...they are in the Woodbine/Steeles area...technically Markham.
