what rim colour for tornado grey? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Grey86 · 02-04-2019, 04:39 PM

Looking to buy a new set of rims but im having a big problem with what colour rims to run.

Im having trouble to see what colour works the best. Alot of online viewing don't do justice and the wheel shops near me don't have any samples to see against the car.

im hoping that anyone with the dark grey (tornado grey) twin with rims can share photos for a better reference. TIA

Gold.

Black spokes with polished rim.

And have your car repainted Ultramarine.

Dark grey?

Gold or bronze.
White too, but unpractical, as PITA to keep clean=very frequent washing needed.

Ok, silver looks good on a Grey car..

What do you mean you "can't find anything good"? Are you talking about wheels?

Bronze

I'm partial to silver:

Depends on if you want to be more flashy, or look more factory.

Not a twin (mine is white), but here was my previous Yaris that was dark gray with various wheels.

Regular silver:

Polished with black inserts:

Graphite with a polished lip:

Gunmetal with a polished lip:

Gunmetal:

Super polished (almost chrome)
