Looking for ideas to 2 tone my Shinka!

I am adding a Mazdaspeed front bumper and a few other items and looking for a nice change on the car all around and was thinking about a nice 2 tone to add to the black cherry color. And ideas would be great. I have black wheels right now but going to add Chrome wheels within the next few months instead.

avoid chrome wheels. Polished lip might be okay but not all chrome

not chrome rims for sure, maybe try bronze or black with polished lip like Jedi said. try to also get the MS rear cuz i think it is clean and nice. R-magic or MS side should be great.

yea i deff agree with everyone saying dont go chrome, i think balck with the pollished lip would look sexy, as for the two tone, i would say post some pics and see if someone can come along and photo shop something for you, i dunno maybe black with some black wheels and pollished lip. I would wanna see it on the car though before i tried it, thats for sure

sweet 8, that reminds me alot of my sunlight silver protege with the chrome and CF hood before i drove it into a wall... it couldnt turn a 90 degree corner without slowing down from 50mph like the 8 can.

Chrome

It all depends upon the style of the wheel.

There was a thread made just 2 weeks ago, asking the same question.. Why don't people search before making a new thread?
