You can host your pics and copy the IMG codes from there



My vote is undecided - not black though. I would rather rock the stock chromes personally.

I say powercoat them gold. Gold is sexy and goes with any car color too.

gold is quite sexy but i dont think it would go well with that color.... i say keep them the way they are...if you go with anything do a little bit darker silver...

Car looks fine with the chromes. I don't really like those other rims. (Even if painted)

Thanks LA, i think.... well i mean, i have already bought the rims so i need to do something with em'. Gold would look weird with rust and tan leather and if i wanted silver i could just strip the rims back to the origional silver..... but thanks guys for the opinions.... AND KEEP THE SUGGESTIONS ROLLING IN....... also, can anyone find a pic of a "rust" spyder with gold rims? My serch has come up with nothing for that color combo...

dust black rims....or i would powder coat them bronze/copper. gold seems a little too bright for the rust color of your car, so i would just go with the copper color which would be darker.
