I'm trying to decide on wheel color choice and was wondering as to what some good combos would be with the meteorite metallic body color. Obviously silver wheels would work and I kind of like graphite wheels as well but its harder to decide on other combos without seeing them. In particular I like the Konig Heliums in bronze but I am having a hard time picturing them on my car. So if you have suggestions let me know or better yet if you have pics throw them up here.

Dunno about rim type, but gunmetal, black, or gold would look good. I was trying to avoid black with mine (felt it was over used with silver cars) but it just looks so damn good!

I'll never understand the appeal of black road wheels.

I couldn't pass up the deal a guy gave me for mine, brand new with new nitto neo-gen tires, never put on a car with lug nuts - $600.

I'm glad someone else struggles with this... I've been looking to replace the factory scion wheels on my car for some time. I think it really depends on how you want your car to look, with some wheels the car looks out of place imo, then again I am a sucker for a nice factory wheel.

Goes with my theme but black and silver are just meant to be. Anything else sort of falls short of what could be...best of luck.

What i really wanted were some OZ white ultraleggras but i'm fairly certain white is not gonna work. I do have some motegi mr7 in gunmetal from my old civic but i basically need to replace 3 of them so I thought why not get new wheels. Being partially color blind does not help my situation in choosing proper wheel color.

imo i think black rims are indeed overused, and silver im kinda weary about..silver on silver i feel can easily make the car look dull, but depends on rim finish and style, i guess. Bronze is nice, though. :thumbsup:

I like bronze personally. Very subtle.

Now that I've seen the bronze wheels i'm totally digging it. I'll probably go that route.
Another bronze on meteoric metallic.

Bronze on silver just doesn't do it for me.
I've had three different colored wheels on mine so far. Black, silver, then bronze. I personally like the bronze the best.
