Need help picking color for new wheels

I've decided on getting Volk GT-V for my RX-8 but I can't decide on what color I should get. Let me know your opinions. I'm stuck on my decision. (also going staggered ... 18x8 and 18x9)

Diamond Black


Titanium Gunmetal


Mercury Silver


Gold

those are pretty sweet I say go with gold or silver! How much are you getting them for? I know autornd has those on clearance right now, you can get some 19s gt-v from them for 1850.

You can do a custom color but it will take longer.

1: DON'T get black... Please.

2: What color is your car? Gold looks awesome on most colors, but gaudy on some. The silver looks great as well.

In that case, I'd have to agree with the Gold wheels. Looks very classy.

I'm not a fan of gold(in any situation) so I'd say go with Merc Silver or Diamond Black.

Or, if you have the extra time(to wait for em) and money go with RMC!

Those are actually the rims that I'm thinking of getting too, keep me posted on your final decision and price

I ordered the gold today. Unfortunately gold is a special order color so it will take 4-8weeks before they show up I'm getting Kuhmo SPTs as tires. I can't wait till they get here ...

6 months!!! God. They told me 2 months at the latest. I hope I'm not waiting 6 months for wheels. That would seriously suck.
