I've gotta Shinka and Im considering getting new rims....Im looking at either a bronze (not too dark) or a gold (not too bright)....I like both the 5Zigen pro racer in bronze and the Gram lights Pro in gold....

Ive attached a pic of each and one of my car....

Im looking for some thoughts on which would look best on the car....I really like
the Grams...but if the gold is too much I will go with the Zigens..
If anyone can photoshop, please help yourself....

Any other suggestions would be appreciated...
thanks

 

gold rims on a black car=dead sexy!

 

here's a link to a photo for photoshoping purposes....
thanks again

fabro, the car isnt black, its black cherry, which is kinda sorta dark purple-ish....but yes, gold rims on a black car are pretty darn sexy.

 

but how about on a black cherry???? gold or bronze??

 

mmmm.....good question hahaha

lemme think about it & maybe find a friend to do a photoshop chop

 

now that ive thought about it, id have to say that they would both look good. however, i have come to the following conclusion, which might be obvious:

gold: the way to go if you want to stand out, but may take some attention away from that sexy paint...

bronze: more stealth than gold, compliments the black cherry very well, but 2 darker colors together may be a bit much; that shouldn't be a problem as long as the bronze isnt too dark or there is a machined lip on the wheel.

hope that helps.

 

those were my sentiments exactly
but i would definitely like to see them on the car prior to sale

 

I know they don't offer the cherry black but it's close enough so perhaps this will help.

Edit: damn I had the links set up to show one with gold and another with black but it doesn't work

 

thanks.....I tried Tirerack.....but for some reason the grams dont come up with the 8 and they dont carry the 5zigens....
whats yours opinion??
Im leaning toward the grams cuz I think the gold goes better....

 

Light gold looks nice but personally I think that black rims with a silver lip look aggresive and clean on a black 8.....but then again you have cherry black so.........

This rim looks great on a black 8 http://www.tirerack.com/servlet/Call...al=&colorInd=3

 

Go to a shop and place a gold rim on the rear and a black rim on your front and simply make your desicion

 

that sounds like a great idea!!!

you

 

Well whatever you decide what to get, just post some pics...

 

Here's my best attempt.

I think I like the 6-spoke Pro Racer the best. Not too much into the five spoke or the gold coloring on your Shinka. Hope these helped.

 

thanks Scott
you did a bang up job........now I know I really like the Grams.....
any sugar daddys out there???

 

not to walk back in on your party, but i really like the bronze 5zigen's....

 

I think it would look good with "circuit minded" rims by 5zigen myself. Black spoke with a chrome lip and center. That way you look like you have rims on there even at night.... *has a serious issue with cars and same/near same colored rims*

 

now Im leaning towards the 5zigens....as they have more sizes available....I did like the mazdaspeed bronze but they only come 18x8 and if Im going to get new rims I want them a little bigger..

 

I think that would look great if the car was black.....not sure how it would look against the black cherry....

 

I would go with the 5Zigen GN+ in bronze... looks real good.

-hS

 

proracers are hawt!

 

You going to sell your old dark chrome rims?

 

Im considering selling my old rims.....they are stock though, not dark chrome...
I believe the Shinka comes with a stock polished alloy....not sure if I have the terminology correct but they are slightly different than the stock 8

 

hey shinxie! I like the Zigens myself, but would LOVE them if they had a chrome center. It's just personal preference, I've never been a fan of the gold (MS or other).

Tho I'm with whoever suggested going to the shop and rolling a wheel out and snapping some pics next to your car. Do it! Do it! We want pictures!!!
