Always silver for red cars

Grey or anthracite.. hides brake dust really well.. unless you have some strange brake pad compound burping red, green or orange... match your brake dust.

I'm reconsidering about the wheels now. I just saw the Gram light 57DR gun blue 2 and they look so sick although they're a little bit more pricy.

I was seriously considering different wheels for my car, was flip\flopping between so many different styles and colours. As a 'stop gap' I installed wheels spacers and dropped the car, and I couldn't believe how good the OEM wheels looked once they moved out of the dark wheel well..

I'm sure they look way better than when it was stock. But I don't want to run spacers even I had a very bad experience with them before and no more for me. Plus I kind of have a picture in my head for the car and a set of nice wheels is a big part of that picture.

Ya those look really good, but they're way over my budget. I believe they're the Gram lights 57Xtreme SP.

Someday clear will be what you want. Or Centreless wheel which are getting more common, at least on motorcycles.
Then no wheels since we'll all be in flying cars!

My vote for is for bronze for OP though.

Silver is my revolt against black. I'm so tired of the murdered out look.

Good wheels shouldn't need to be hidden in the shadows.

I've already looked at clear wheels, currently they're solid acrylic. Easy to etch, and i like the lighting options they provide, but clearing calipers in most vehicles is currently an issue in most fitments.

Not silver nor black but someplace in between

100% white if you can keep up with it. Looks so good, but I’m sure it’s a pain in the ass to maintain.
