Hey guys, i own a Precisoun Grey 2.5 A/C. similar to this one...I want to try and come close to match my paint without having to paint my rims. I THINK i want to go with some 20''s then eventually a drop, but I cant decide on which rims i want...for now its between the Privat Nets...Or the Moda MD3's....what do yall think??thanx

ok, I made a poll on the (Altima Suspension, Brakes, Rims and Tires) forum. and thanks I had my mind on the Privats, The only reason i concidered the 5 spoke was because of the color...

for the same reason some people like all black with a red lip (no offense to those with that style). Different strokes for different folks, i had my rims color matched to my car, i like the look

that being said, go with the first ones

You are kidding right? Same reason why people dont wear brown shoes with a black suit... MATCHING looks good!People paint dashes and do fiberglass sub enclosures to match the car...

Should I have red rims with a blue lip?

Sounds like you really need to do some research.

Not feeling either... First one has too many spokes, making it too complicated and the second one is a five-spoke but the spokes are too thick. Accents are what make thing beautiful. Before you attack my wheels, I'm getting rid of them for Enkei RP-F1's!!! <3 Light-weight racing wheels

This is true only to a certain extent. Even yours have chrome lips which is what makes it work. Contrast, contrast, contrast!
