You know I didn't realize that the car was blue. I don't know about black rims with a blue car.

I like the first one. When dealing with black wheels on blue cars I think it's best to have a little shine ie chrome lip to offset the wheel contrast.

Am I the only one who likes option #2? I like this option because the size and offset are pretty darn close to perfect. Also; you want to be unique and not have what other people have. Option #1 has the lug nut cover and I don't really care for those because (1) fools like to jack them and (2) sometimes they just fall off. I've seen Option #3 on at least 5 different tCs. I would stick with Option #2 or #3.

P.S. Have you looked for rims in Gunmetal or Anthracite in color? Those would look hawt on a NB tC.

Option #2 does come in the right bolt pattern, found an even better site that has lots of different wheels with tons of different bolt patterns . The only difference is this one has a slightly different logo on it, but made by same company.

Ill start looking at some gunmetal and anthracite colored rims but i choose the dark black because my tint is pretty dark and i will get smoked taillights pretty soon, so thought it would match great.

Finding the right rims is harder than i thought

My pick is #3 and unlike Neo, I happen to think black rims on dark blue looks very good but thats just because I have them. LOL
