Cant decide...

Ok I'm about to start buying a wheel each pay check till I have all 4 then do the same for the tires lol... What wheel would look best with my color (keep in mind I'm going to have a black lip, side skirts, and GT/cs rear bumper) I'm also going to paint my calipers to match my car

My vote would be the gunmetal finish on your paint color. Any of those wheel styles will look good but the gloss black IDK.

I like all those wheels except the first one a lot - I'm thinking either the gun metal or matte black. Had you tried photoshopping, or use the "try it on your car" feature at Tire Rack? In my case I actually plasti-dipped the rims before I bought, so I could see if I'd like them in black.

Not sure if I should paint it black or keep it flat black.. But I was going to paint part of the bumper in-between the lower grille and lip to give it a boss look... Maybe paint the side skirts as well... And I want the GT/cs rear bumper w the defuser to achieve the look I'm going for...

I also would like to do this but instead of just putting mesh there, add tubing behind it and run the tube to the intake... Make a ram air type thing... And buy the jlt brake cooling kit that goes in the lower grille... I think it would look sweet... Oh and black out the pillars between the head lights and upper grille

I think the chrome staggered AMR wheels from AM would look sick on your ride!

Have you thought about the gunmetal gt500 rims? The 2005-2009 style. They look good on any color

Here's so of mine. Got them for $750 with brand new Goodyear Eagle F1. Rubber alone is $1300 brand new. Just look on eBay for gt500 takeoffs

I wanted a 10" on the back too but this was just like a no pass opportunity. I'm thinking of getting them widened. Do you know what that would cost per wheel?
