Well I think I made my final decision and am going with a blue Scion. I am just trying to figure out what color rim to do. Either silver, full polish, or gunmetal. Any suggestions thanks.

It depends on what look you want to go for - Gunmetal would look good, but its a total race look and the rest of the car would need to go with that theme. For some rims that look good, easy to maintain, etc. silver would probably be the best.

Haha. Never liked white wheels. My sponsred Si has got white wheels cause thats what he likes and it's a black car and we didn't want crome. We are planning on doing a TRD supercharger but we are waiting to see if they offer a turbo first.

Comments..Hmmm....First of all, it looks very Nice and very very clean as always. During the rainy or sunshine weather. Must very much run in the Family! Right Mr. Henry? Nice set of custom Scion wheels (1st in the U.S). Now that's what I'm talking about!

I have a blue one and I am going with a bronze look or a gold look..White is too plain and that silver finish is good ....but I say Bronze or Gold look

I don't know...i'm thinking i will have to disagree here...well, probably because i'm picturing a slammed blue xB on WHITE Volk TE-37s.

depends on what kind of look u prefer...

silver always looks good...
bronze looks more like JDM..

its really up to you....do whatever you think it's nice, it's your car..

Bronze indeed would look the best but be careful what wheels you order in bronze.

My volks are true bronze. The knockoffs i got for the scion are more like ____ brown. BIG difference. Check out Gold too. Gold will work very well too

Silver was definitely my first choice but now I think I wanna try something different so I might sell these soon.

Ooooh, don't give it away all at once J. Now I have to go with pink rims so that I can be different.

BTW J....where have you been? How you doing bro?

12-06-2003, 01:12 AM
I still like the silver on blue. But to really enjoy it I recommend 18in or bigger.

Don't get me wrong I love 18+ rims. But living in NJ and having an everyday driver your taking a risk of bending on 16in wheels.

Just one thing, Do Not get black!!! I mean come on, what's the point of paying out the a** for some rims if they just make your car look like your hub caps fell off!

HaHAaahaah. One of my best customers rocks black rims and I must say it don't look that bad. I'll post some pics. I'm not a fan of black rims myself though.
