I CAN'T DECIDE!! Vote...

These are the two I have narrowed my choices to (yes I know they look alike but still can't decide...lol...), but now should I go with the silver with mirror lip or the black with the mirror lip. My car is an 04 500 in the pewter color. Also, I'm going with these so I can get the offset ET25 and just skip the whole spacer deal.

Down below is a picture of the car when I first got it from the dealership...

Let me know what you guys think or if you have any suggestions because I'm open to any...


Angelo


P.S.: For some reason it won't let me post the Mandrus Millenium in the hypersilver color with mirror lip, but I'm thinking of this one too.

and

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!...haha...

The pewter color is pretty classy so I would go silver over black. I would only do the black if you incorporate a lot of other things black. I like black rims and have them on my white clk but also have a black vinyl roof, blacked out grille, black tinted windows, tinted taillights and tinted carbon fiber lip. I'm also thinking of getting a black hood vent.

I see what you mean...I am just thinking that with the mesh on the bumper, tail lights smoked, dark tint I already have, sidemarkers tinted, and side view mirror turn signal smoked that I could pull it off well with the color...just so confused, but a great point on pewter being a classy color...

I'm also voting for the balck with chrome lip, I think the combo looks great and bought a similar set for myself. Make sure you work in other black/CF accents.

Hey guys.

I have the silver Millennium rims with the polished lips.

I was originally going to get the balck ones with the polished lips, but I am now glad I didn't.

I think that the silver works better than the black.

The silver almost perfectly matches my silver calipers and the polished lips go extremely well with the chrome trim around the car - even the chrome trim on my door handles.

These factors make the rims really look like they belong on the car.

But it really is a matter of personal taste.

They are lovely rims and I am still very pleased with them!

The silver rims looks great on your silver car Rashman but remember his car aint silver and he got some smoked parts on his car so black (to match his cf lip ,smoked mirror and the taillight too) with the chrome lip is the way to go or maybe im wrong ? lol i hope not

Appreciate all the opinions...so right now I'm leaning towards the black ones...to match my accents of course...

Rims are always the hardest decision...haha...


Oh yeah and Rash...rims look great on your silver car!!!

All that means is that you have people wanting to participate and see some activity, and there ain't enough happening. Somebody throw a party or something.
