oh i thouhgt you had a black car...

i think black car looks much better with gun metal... black with black rims.. it is much more difficult to find the same gloss and shine as the body paint coat. just my opinion.

but any like color, like silver, looks nice with a dark rim color, ie black.. i think as well..

Here's an idea of how the gloss black reverbs looks on a black car:

reyrey127 · 11-06-2006, 01:30 AM

i feel the paint color is much more dull than the rims... hard to match...

but reverbs look nice on smaller cars.. i think hiros look better on larger cars... just my feeling... what do you think???

There's alot of factors that comes into play such as size of the wheels, width, tire size, etc that can enhance or take away from the overall look of the car with the wheels on.

The main reason I like the Axis Reverbs is their hollow spoke design. The reverb uses a unique casting process that makes each spoke hollow resulting in a lightweight yet very strong wheel. A 20x7.5 rim only weighs 21.2lbs.

Epsilon, you are quite the rim expert. When I upgrade, I'll have to look you up.

Edit: Right now, I'm on stock 15s with no money.

Well, my "future wife" likes it but she has an '05 Impala (which she calls "Candy") for herself. I call my car Princess because even though she is a Camry I want to slowly turn her into royalty on wheels and take very good care of her. I know that's a sappy excuse but that's the best name I could think of at the time.

Every One Has Black.. Its Hard To Keep Clean They Start To Look Brown After 2-3 Days Of Driven..so If Your Up To The Maintenance Great If Not Gun-metal Looks Better Than Brown. I Went W/ The Gun Metal Koenig Reasons And 18'' And Agree W/ Reyrey 127.. There Are A Ton Of Options Out There And Its Your Car So Go W/ What You Like Best But Be Weary Of Keepin Black Clean There Is Nothin Worse Than Brown Rims On A Nice Ride

Just let me know when you are in the market for wheels, I'll be more than happy to help.

just use google and search around for wheel sites. There are plenty out there with good deals and lots of them offer free shipping. I paid 1900 for my 19x8.5 with tires and free shipping.
