I was going to repaint my rims black then I saw this color, and it's starting to grow on me.

That car is sick! Pics saved.

I really like that color. Copy the paint and stance of that car and you're golden.

Almost makes me wish my car were gray. :P

The painted center panel on that car might look cool painted black with the lights.

That's something. I wouldn't have picked that wheel color but now that I see it on the car, nice! I wonder how the car would look if the hatch frame were also painted the body color.

saw a few cars with the frame in body color ,personally i think it looks awful ,much better in black with only the spoiler in body color.

Don't have a choice, all my cars are black so everything is body color anyway.

The wheels look great in that color. Do the factory cars still run a sort of orange on the wheels?

Is the wheel color bronze or a burnt orange? If it was too "coppery" I don't think it would work, but as it displays on my screen it looks darn good.

Are those 18's? Early offset? The color might not work with late offset wheels that didn't have a silver/polished rim.

I love it. Grey and orange are a proven combo, but that orange is very unique and suits the car as much or maybe even better than the fluoro orange normally seen on our cars. Not a fan of the black rims with grey, but think Butters idea might be a winner regarding the panel between the rear lights being black

Black rims do look good, however, everyone and their dog has them. I love the look of your car and + 1 on the colour of the wheels!
