Most of my cars have been red with the exception of a silver RSX. With red cars, it never fails that I slap bronze on them.

I like gunmetal grey... or at least by themselves that's what I like.

Speaking of which, got any suggestions for wheel color that would go well with an DGM BRZ?

Not a fan of super bright stuff such as white or silver etc... but hesitant regarding black, feel like it'd be too dark.

Oh if I'm hijacking, forgive me, i'll move it elsewhere, just let me know!

I like silver wheels for the pearl white.
Anything dark just seems to merge and look like a dark hole while white clashes with the pearl.

DGM/Asphalt is one of the hardest colors to work with as far as wheels go. Maybe grey/gunmetal? That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. Maybe black with a polished lip, like the Enkei RSM9s.

Eh. Not really feeling that for some reason. I'm not sure any of the colors of BRZ/86 would look good with purple wheels.

No, just not really a fan of colored wheels in general. I don't even like white or bronze, honestly.

Not 'angry' mad, 'crazy' mad.


I have to ask, what DO you like then? Just silver and black?

Silver, black, gunmetal/grey, possibly gun blue (on certain cars/colors), gold (on WRB only), some two-tone types. This is in general. There are exceptions, but they're exceptions and not the rule.

Really obnoxious wheel colors, to me, need an obnoxious color car to go along with them.

ETA: White and bronze I'm kinda torn on. It's not that I don't like them, I just find myself going back and forth on them. White/White sometimes looks good, but at times seems like too much white. Red/White sometimes makes me think it's Christmas, and at times I like it. I'm definitely crazy, though, so there's that.
