Help needed in choosing color rims for RED FR-S - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ciotime · 08-08-2013, 05:00 AM

Ive decided on getting the Rays Gram Lights 57Xtreme 18X8.5 for my red FR-S. I need help in deciding what color rims best to pair with my RED FR-S. Either Matte Graphite, Black, Winning Blue or the new Velvet Blue. Most use graphite or black which is why I thought blue would be kinda unique...just have no clue whether its a good match.

Definitely black or atleast carbon fibre plastidipped.

Blue? Now that's something I wanna see! But matte black/black against red always goes well

I vote for white!!! White wheels always look good on red!!

charged86 · 08-08-2013, 08:06 AM

I voted black Lamborghini and Ferrari and others all use this color combo. white is soooo early 2000's

Just to clarify I'm trying to choose a color for the 57xtreme rims... This isn't about plasti dipping rims.

matte graphite would look great.

For starters I have a red FRS, and I spent quite some time deciding color for the wheels I got. Black is a cool color choice on some ocassions (as much as people have lead us to believe it goes well with anything). I'm not a fan of it on a red car.

A friend of mine has black wheels (work brand) on his red FRS, you can barely see them at night. and during the day it doesn't show off as well as the gold or regular metal color ones.

I'm not a fan of blue color for a red car. So that's why I haven't voted.

I have a red FRS, and my wheels are the sparco assetto gara, their gold color is more close to titanium tone. and I absolutely love them.

These are blue rims I think on a red FR-S which to me looks quite good...they actually look like 57Xtreme's to me.
