Ditto on the black or silver. A monotone grey look could be cool.

I agree with the black or silver, powdercoated would look good with your car as well. I am not a fan of gold rims in any application, but different strokes, right?
Can you tell me where I can get a look at the rims you are talking about. They sound interesting. Thanks

Not my taste but that's what makes the world go around. A set of BBS LMs or OZ Superleggeras might look good.

I like the rims, but I still wouldn't go gold. I would go all silver. Very nice though. Let us know what you do.

i say, you just get some nice volks with some really nice tires. Those rims aren't worth 750 each, plus the shipping and handling... NOT WORTH IT!

hi
i have titanium grey and i was looking at the gold volks or gold mazdaspeed rims...i think it would look great but the re amemiya rims seem a little loud and flashy for a car like the 8.
check out rosenthals site. there are two good options there for alot less.
