Okay, so after saving my money i will finally have enough money to finally do the things ive wanted to to my car. On Friday, if everything goes according to plan, i will get BC Coils, Stillen Front Lip, and this is the hard part, Wheels and tires. As far as that goes i am very indecisive on what style of wheel and what color. I have a 2008 Silver 2.5, and i dont know what color to go. Any advice would be key. Thanks in advance.

If you dont know what style and color wheel you want, you probably shouldnt buy wheels. Not trying to be an ***hole, but I knew exactly what I was after when I started looking for wheels. Buy what you like, not what people here tell you they like.

My above statement wasn't entirely accurate. i should be more clear so i don't get s*** from people... I know what style i'm looking for, however, id like some peoples input on what they recommend. I know for example, the machined silver looks very close to stock and i am straying away from that, and leaning towards a "Hyper Black". This is where i would like some "Friendly" advice from people on the forum. Does hyper black look more black or more of a a silver because from looking around on the web i cannot decide, and due to the fact that i'm color-blind does not help... So if anyone has any friendly advice possibly if people have seen this "Hyper Black" in person or not, or could throw their .02 in I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks again.

Manufacturer's definition of hyper black can vary. I've seen gloss black that was listed as hyper, and also a light grey that was listed as hyper black. I think a machined finish on silver might look pretty good though.

They are Enkei Lusso. I convinced one of my female friends to buy it on her Scion, they are 10X hotter in person. Also, the 20" version of them is not that heavy, which is always a plus.
