Default Please help me pick a wheel.

Hey everyone,
I am getting an Xa soon and it's going to be Indigo blue.
http://gallery.scionzone.com/gallery/naias2004/DSCF0012
Now I'm having problems picking the right rims and the right color for them.
I'm thinking either this one... in either silver or gun metal.



Or this one in that bronze color.


I really don't know about which color goes with which so please
someone with good knowledge of wheels help me out.
feel free to show me some other better rims that is no more than 700$

Thanks in advance

Vince

I don't really think that gunmetal would look to good with the blue. Go with bronze the style of the wheel looks alot better. Plus its a newer style wheel than the others,

I did some photoshoping yesterday putting both of the rims on the blue Xa, both of them turned out good. So good that it's hard to choose cuz each of them stands out in a different way, the Gunmetal makes it look more like a street car, while the bronze makes it look more like a Rally car. This makes it even harder to choose between the two, cuz now I gotta think.....Street....or Rally....

Alright, here how the rims would look like with my blue Xa

This one has kindda like a street look to it


This one has some what of a rally style to it


Now since there's an idea of how the rims would look like, I would like for you guys
to tell me again wich is better than wich. Since I love them both, I really can't decide right now

Thanks!

I fixed your links.

The 1st ones get lost IMO, the second ones stand out nicely. The gold on blue kinda reminds me of EVERY WRX I see, but that's another issue...

thanks for fixing the links LOL the second one isn't gold, it's bronze.
See the thing is though, even though the bronze goes better with the blue car, it has less spokes. The Xa has front disk brakes and rear drums....and to be ohnest with ya...they're not real pretty, so if I get the bronze they will see it all! hehehe
While the first rims even though, kindda a dark color.....has more spokes covers up the ugly brakes, if you think the color isn't good then maybe I should get em in silver?

I like the bronze one. When I get my xA Im thinking of these wheels, maybe you might like them to, never know.

Axis Wheels Mag-Lite 15"=$140 (11Lbs) 17"=$200(14Lbs)


Team Dynamic Wheels 15"=$119 (13.5Lbs) 17"=$155 (15.5Lbs)


Team Dynamic Wheels only 15"=$89 (11.9Lbs)


I my self like the stock size so I can reduce rotating mass.

wow dude, I freaking love the first and second one...however.....I still can't find any where that can beat the price I've got from them exel rims. 699$ for 4 with tires and nuts, comes ready to put on. and with 50$ covers cracks scratches for 1 full year. They have a huge sale right now at www.wheelmax.com I erally can't find anywhere cheaper most of their 17's are 699$ with tires.
