What colour have you gone for?

That is pretty sweet - not 100% what the exact colour will be, but it'll be along the lines of this:

I reckon white wheels, not that I'm biased

they look great.
i need to get my motegis done at some point and was thinking of going dark but not black.
is it my dodgy eyes or do they look slightly blue? wonder how theyll look on a sparkle yellow

I like white wheels on Blue Motegi (especially if it's lowered)

This is my old pic (Photoshoped - lowered and LED rear lights)

Crystal blue's tricky.

I went for a no. 5 silver, which is bright and very metalflakey. Might work in a very subtle way.

White might work.

Or go crazy like Mugen bronze - if you can find it!

Seen that picture before - really like the look of that car in general, just looks "right" (to me anyway) with the USDM front lip & Mugen sides & rear along with the bronze wheels & a nice drop - mmmmmmmmm

Not seen many CBM cars with white wheels - think it would only work if it was lowered (mine isn't... yet) plus it looks a bit "in your face" for my taste - those darker blue ludes above look pretty cool with white wheels but I think personally I need more contrast against the paint, although this looks good - lowered a fair bit though

got a few quick snaps of the car on the camera - i'll post them when I get a minute

Righty, here's actual shots of the car (with it's new lip

)

please ignore the bird jobby etc, took these before cycling to work this morning so didn't have time to give it a once over beforehand

And yeah, I know my headlights need polished too...

Nice lip!

I'd go with the anthracite colour. Having had white wheels for a good couple years they're a pain in the arse to keep clean.
