black with chrome lip. Or the all silver ones. It would be too much black if you got the all black wheels on a black car imo. let some "bling" show :yesnod

Dude, why don't you have the gold with polished lip option up there? That would look best on a black car, IMO. The all silver ones come in 2nd place.

I wish these came in 4 lug. 17x9+20 006's up front and 18x10+25 521's in the back would be dope. You could fit great tire sizes with that setup without pulling fenders...

I really enjoy a all black car with black wheels and I would probably go with gold studs though.

Let me clarify: I wish these came in a 4 lug size that didn't suck total azz and bawls. I want the 18x10's.

What 4 lug wheels did you have and what were the specs? (diameter, width, offset).

Let me see if I should add them to the list...

Hmmm... The only decent CR Kai replicas that I know of are Rota Torques or Drag DR31. And any decently sized Torque or DR31 is 5 lug only. So let me guess... You had Tenzo R DC-5's sized 17x7+42.

If so... ewww... :facepalm: I hope I'm wrong though.

It's like no one has imagination anymore these days! If you've seen and s14 on BBS LM's or Work VS-XX, you should have a pretty good idea of how it would look. The rest just comes down to how good you are at matching color combinations. If you manage to dress yourself in the morning, this shouldn't be too big of a deal.

If all else fails... just boot up your dusty old Gran Turimo 4 copy and start trying different wheel combinations. That game has all these look alike wheels in it... :poke:

^^^You know what? You're totally right.
OP, just trust me... Black on gold is a great and natural combo.

Dew eet. Dew eet nahow.

I hate all black wheels...in motion, looks like you might as well be rolling on steelies.
Black with polished lip was cool, but the ricers and everybody else destroyed that style.
The black car on silver wheels would be a little too bland, IMO.
Black car on gold wheels with polished lip is the way to go.
