Powder coat the wheels you have black and lower your car and it will look great.

I just picked one just like yours and was thinking along the same lines. White or yellow wheels and mirrors. Let us know what you end up with.

I think White would look best. Lime Green with blue would not go at all... If your car was white, silver, black (basic colors) you may be able to pull it off more (GT3 RS esque)

If you go yellow, make sure to get some sponsorship from NAPA.

Its not enogh that the car pretends to be something it isn't but then you feel the need to paint the rims a "hey everone, look at me" colour?

I tried to take a photo of such a color combo, but my camera vomited. Hideous color combo IMHO.
