Wheels for my car
So I was searching around and I saw these wheels for a nice price. What do you guys think about these wheels in 18x9 in that same color for my Galaxy Gray RX8?

I like the design of the wheel, and while I really like bronze wheels on many colors I don't think they work on gray (shame because I'm gray too). They come in gunmetal too which I think would look better:

I just think gunmetal would blend in too much with the color and they wouldnt be noticeable.

idk thats why im asking here hehe

Yeah I agree with Aipex, I'm not wild about bronze on GG, looks kinda off...

Post a side pick of your car, (or any gray 8) and have someone photoshop those rims on there, as well as the gunmetal ones.

i thought for a while about putting gunmetal wheels on my car. it blends in to much.. unless it has a big crome lip, and that is way to bling for me.

i think you are best served with silver.

beers

Ok, so one last question on this.

The wheels come in 3 offsets keep in mind they are 18x9:
+45 (which of course sucks)
+38
+15 (which I think may be a bit too hardcore of a fit)

I want to fit them with some 255/40/18 Falken Azenis

What do you guys think?

I'd say +38. I have +38 with 8.5" and 245 and have a little room to spare. +15 wouldn't work.
