gunmetal might look good.

 

A lot of people will disagree but Bronze wheels will look good on our color. Gunmetal should look god as well. So does silver. Black looks fine, but you see it on every damn car ever these days.

 

+1 for blue and bronze. it's sexayy

black is not bad but it's true, it's everywhere. and i don't necessarily like it too much on blue.

 

if you plan on keeping the pin stripes gold might be the way to go

 

nah, i got rid of the pinstripes. I think i'm leaning towards gold/bronze with silver machine lip. Kinda like this one:

brooooonze

 

There are 18x7.5 Konig Next in bronze. sorry I dont have a blue tib but you could photoshop it blue I guess.

 

They are discontinued. I was going to get them long ago.

 

i like gunmetal on dark blue, thats just me though

 

ADR MSPORT 17X7

 

gold rota gforces 18x8.5 et 35 or lower, 225 40 18 falken fk452. /thread

 

Those G forces look a lot like the Konig Feather. Which comes in Gold. But the kicker is when you get it 5 lug, it goes from 8 spoke to 10. You'll pretty much be hard pressed to find a shot of the feather in 5 lug too, it's insane. A friend of mine ordered them for his SRT4 and they showed up and he was like WTF? Called them up and they were like oh yeah, 5 lugs are 10 spoke. I guess it's like that with a lot of wheels. So buyer beware I guess.

the Konig Daylites look pretty nice.

 

Once again, not a blue Tib, but another Idea if you like the gold/bronze look. XXR 962 18"x7.5" I love them.

 

yeah, those are really nice.

 

Bronze will look great on either moonlit or tidal wave blue IMO. If you got tons of money to blow, I could imagine someone with Advan TCIIs on the ride.

 

bronze looks great, when its the right shade and right rim design. Its hard to do it right IMO. I'm pretty set on getting the tenzo DC6s in carbon grey (basically darker gunmetal...ish) on my wife's moonlit tib.

 

31lbs? Holy **** is it made of lead? That is a HEAVY wheel.

Or does that include tire?

 

No, he's right that's without the tire, and I weighed mine when I got them it's more like 34lbs. Oh well I don't plan on going to the track any time soon and they look great. You definitely notice the difference when you shift though lol.

 

Bronze or Gold gets my vote.....

 

i love the color of my rims, just wish i would got 18s (mine are 17s) or i'm just going to get some lowering springs and spacers this summer to help fill out the wheel wells. I know adr made mine in black, hyperblack, gunmetal, silver (not sure about bronze) and i wish they were 6 instead of 7 spoke, but hey cant complain at $370 for the 4. and they weigh the same as stock.

 

gunmetal for sure.

 

maybe some white rims???

 

First Konig hotswaps are the single worst rim you can put on your car ever, I seriously want to take every single one of those rims and throw them in a melting vat, and then strangle and pummel whoever designed them to death. And the drags are hidious. They are NOT clean, sleek, or JDM like they say, they are made in china and their advertising is funny as hell.

If you're going to go with knockoffs, the rims sharktales just mentioned will look sick.

Thanks for the input, Fallen. You seem to know your stuff. I'm thinkin I should delay gratification a little and drop the car before I save up for premium rims and do it the right way.

 

Gross and no. And please for the love of God don't ever mention the Konid Hot Swaps. Like Fallen, I think whoever designed those should be immediately murdered.

The Konig Feather is really nice in gold.

Or you could look at the MB Motorsports Weapon in Bronze.

or Rota Grids in gold. (17X7.5)

Rota Vector in Bronze (17X7.5)

 

I have the same car as you. I am going back and forth between dark bronze, gunmetal and hypersilver. I am leaning toward's TSW Nogaro's...I just love a clean 5 spoke. I wish they came in bronze or gunmetal.

 

agreed.

 

i'm kinda a fan of stainless steel lips, though

 

??????????

 

I know they are a great quality rim, but I absolutely hate them. I've tried to like them and everyone else likes them, but I think they just look too simple and IMO, they look cheap. No offense to anyone at all who has them because I do recognize they are a nice wheel, just not my tastes.

These are what I want on my white Mazdaspeed 3, AME Tracer FS01 in Bronze

The drooling starts here
<------------------------------:3_worship

 

I approve, but if you are going to go lipped, your 17" rims will look like 16", also making a slight stretch will work wonders for the look.

 

would i be able to pull off puttin 18" wheels with stock tires?

 

laff79, don't mean to hijack your thread...

Trinity......what size tire would you need for a 17x8 rim???

 

My 17X7.5 rims took a 225/45/17

I think 17X8 would take 235/45/17

 

gold for sure!
