an easy way is go on gran turismo or something and mess around with the rims on there haha. but i think black rims would be sweet. im going all black on my s13 hatch, black seats, carpet, paint, rims, and i hate that purple tint so im lookin around some palces for darker, and then theres me, a white kid with dreadlocks driving an all black car kinda weird hu?

I'de reco a dark gunmetal in a style that you like and not everyone on the block has. Also, I think there's something about safety/weight that should be taken into consideration, but I don't want to sound like a Mod. :)

What are you saying about Mods?? LOL That we are over weight and always wear condoms?

Back to topic: So are you having any luck with these ideas?I like to see the outcome of threads like these(if there is an outcome).

Bronze rims look awesome on a white car as well. I saw a white scooby with bronze rims in chinatown and damn, they looked good together!

I've always loved the SSR MK-IIIs (for s13). Classic JDM look with a cheap price, albeit used. If I had a 240, it would either be that or some Kosei K-1's. BTW, gunmetal kicks ***!
