Default Need Rim Ideas!

I have a 2005 Flint Mica tC and I have red callipers and blue lights on the inside. Looking to get new 18 inch rims. Would black rims look good on a flint mica? I also want maybe a blue or red lip ( preferably blue ) any suggestions? post pics of your flint mica with black rims if you have,

i'd prefer a red lip since you have red calipers. otherwise paint them blue to keep the theme going with a blue lip. look up hyper black or titanium chrome. i think those look best on flint mica.

On a Flint mica car Flat black,Gloss back,Gunmetal or Bronze with red lugs would be decent color choices. The interior lights are kinda ricey but it won't matter cause only you can see them.

Also if not already a lower ride height via lowering springs or coil-overs will make or break how your wheels look and people perceive your car. Look up the flint-mica thread to get more ideas.

It depends on the wheel width..offset and width go hand and hand.
