Any VR's with stock rims painted gunmetal gray?

Hey guys,

Has anybody with a VR painted their stock rims gunmetal gray? If so, do you have any pictures, as I'm thinking of painting my VR's stock rims gunmetal gray.

Thanks a lot and God bless you guys!

Ben.

Hmm, I really didn't dig how the rims looked on that last pic of the VR, maybe you guys can photoshop my VR to see how the gunmetal stock rims look on it.

Here are some pics of my VR 8:





Thanks

Thanks Leesha, but I was wondering if someone could do a photoshop to my car pics with the gunmetal stock rims? Also, what would speed 6 gunmetal rims look like on our cars? Can anybody photoshop any other colours on my stock rims in my 8 pic and gimme some ideas?

Those Pics aren't that great for photoshopping. a further sway pic would be better.

I wonder what speed 6 rims painted gun-metal grey would look like on my VR? Here's a pic of my buddy's speed 3 with the speed 6 gunmetal-painted rims:

Now that's somethign I'm striving toward!

Hey guys,

So my buddy James with the Mazdaspeed 3 gave me a photoshopped version of a VR 8, which after looking at it, is something that I want my VR 8 to look like:



What do you guys think?

It's a Mazdaspeed kit with gunmetal Mazdaspeed 6 rims.

I prolly won't take the whole Mazdaspeed kit, just the Mazdaspeed front-end/lip, and stick with the OEM appearance package. Maybe the Mazdaspeed spoiler....I love my OEM spoiler so I'm undecided on that.

^ Not bad, not bad at all... wheel style fits well with all the MS stuff. I think gunmetal colored rims look good on a VR to begin with.

These gunmetal R3 rims would look excellent but I'm sure they'd be a pretty penny or two...
