My car is like a redish...amber color and I was thinking maybe white or metal... What do you guys think would be a nice color?

silver...... or black.




sorry I hate coloured wheels to match the car, it doesnt tickle my fancy.

Silver.

Gunmetal

Yellow :ph34r:

Hypersilver! Cross between silver and gunmetal. The BMW M3 with the 18" deep dish wheels has this colour!

Perhaps GOLD could look nice, but maybe something chrome or polished would suit it better.

I love Gunmetal with a polished lip.

Ummm what?.. :lol:

WHITE IS RICE.

White wheels look really really bad.. except sometimes on white cars. Silver is always a safe bet, it goes with anything. Or you could hop on the gunmetal wagon.. everyone either loves them or hates them :P

Why don't you just wait til spring when everyone has their new wheels on and wants to sell their old nice aftermarket rims?
Don't paint em. I've only seen one set of nice painted rims on a Focus. (Malby)

Don't fudge it up.

Gunmetal is my fav... but as posted above, gold with or without a chrome lip is really nice. I've checked out many wheels like that, and would love a set of my own.

I'd say stay away from a white rim. A gold rim or even a bronze rim would look cool. Personally i'm not a fan of a chrome rim on a focus, too much bling for a cheap car. Silver or gun-metal are always say choices.

If it were me, it would come down to whether i wanted to stand out a lil bit or not. If i didn't go with a gun-metal or silver rim. If you want to be a lil bit different go with something like a bronze or gold rim. Just my 2c.

You havent seen mine yet. And Malby's were powdercoated. ;) , plus Eric already has nice aftermarket wheels.

Eric, Go Gunmetal, I'll do it for you. It will look slick on your ride. :)

EDIT: Now that Im thinking about it....Gold could look good to, and its different.

I know Malby's were powdercoated. You do remember that I paint for a living.

I don't need to see your rims in person.

I saw pics of the JAy turbo job.

I can only imagine the paint job.

Have I pissed you off yet?

Check!

If i remember right you've got a 6 or 7 spoke 17's right?

My suggestion is a little crazy but i've seen it done and it looks sick!

here goes... Black(flat) face with the insides of the spokes colour matched, but not a full triangle with the colour match, but more like a V with the point going to the center of the rim

Then you should know the difference between the two if you do it for a living. :P

Jay's turbo setup will slaughter your sons setup anyday. Anyday you want me to prove that to you, just say so.

Check & Zing!

But he doesn't end up stuck in London with car issues begging members to help him out with his car troubles.

Zing back at you.

Dirty MAF is hardly "Issues".
