Best Rims/RimColors for Ultramarine FRS
Wussup guys, so I'm planning on replacing the rims on my Ultramarine FRS soon. My only problem is, I have a lot of people saying make sure you choose the right color rims because your car is going to look retarded if you don't. So if you guys could help me by sharing some of your opinions that would be great.
Also was wondering if you guys could walk me through the process I would have to go through to get this done. Example would be do I need to buy new tires as well or idk anything. + would it look right with stock suspension? Or should I lower it as well, again have no idea what the benefits are. Super noob here so please bare with me. Thank you! |

Ultramarine is pretty.
Can't go wrong with Gold, Silver, Black or White. Neon colors CAN go wrong. Just my 2c. I still have stocks. :-)

I might end up doing white. Seen a few ultramarine on white wheels and it looks pretty awesome.

Black looks like shit on most cars. You can't see the detail of the wheel and it ruins contrasting on most colors. I get tired of seeing cars with plastidip wheels, it just looks bad.
Silver is best for Ultramarine, it stands out and compliments the color. Gold can look good as well, but the shade of gold is what matters. White just gets dirty and looks like crap 90% of the time, even worse if your running dusty brake pads.  ^ See that? The details of those wheels isn't shown all that well.  ^ FUCKING SEX, though a nice drop would help with the look.
