Default Need Help with new Wheel Colors

So I decided with the Boze new "Track" wheel. I really would like to go with all matt black but dont know how this will look with a hugger orange car with white stripes. I've also considered black perimeter with a gun metal silver in the center or a brushed perimeter with matt black center.

What would you guys do?

Man, I'm having trouble envisioning anything on your car. If we were closer I'd let you test fit mine. How about black and chrome?

All matte black would look great if you had black stripes..otherwise, it might look a little disconnected with the white stripes.

Hmmm...... Forgeline. They definitely make some sweet looking wheels. If I go with Forgeline it definitely has to be an R series wheel.

What do you think of these? They are the EV3R's.

Leave the outside chrome since I have chrome mirrors, bumpers, and the chrome strip along the bottom. Possibly even go with the same colored center in the picture?

I think you are on to it now. You could do the BOZE wheel in the same color combo too.

I had the same rational when I bought mine. I have the ZX3R's for weight savings. I don't know if I'd limit myself for a couple lbs though. They have come out with a slough of other killer step lip wheels since. I'm assuming you are going to 18's? The wheel you pictured has grown on me but not one of my favorites. Wheels are a personal choice...... Take your time. Picking wheels is a bitch!
