    Default Rims - Colour - Need opinions please!

    Hey guys.

    I've got a VZ SS Ute in Impulse (Blue)

    The first few things i'm wanting to do to it is probably an exhaust, and a nice set of rims.

    The only thing is, im unsure about what colour rims to go. Black, or Silver. I've seen some with black, and some with silver, and they both look very nice, but i want to know everyones opinion.

    Would appreciate everyones opinion

    Nice looking ute there, why not go black with chrome lip or a combination of the 2 colours

    All black runs are a safe be for a riff look. But it has been done more than a old hooker.

    Silver looks good on anything but seems a bit too safe and plain.

    Have you given any thought to white rims? Something like gloss white VZ R8 rims? Anything with a not too broad spoke should work.

    Cheers for the help and searching mate, it gets like that aye haha. I have to say tho, i absolutely hate the VE GTS rims. I think they are ugly as hell, and everyone has them now. Every person with an earlier model commodore is putting them on their cars, or VE SV6 Rims.

    Liking the idea of black 5 spokes with chrome lip/dish, i've been thinking of that, but for what i was thinking the VY Signatures are waaaayyy too thick (the spokes).

    Woah, thanks heaps for that mate.

    That does look nice, though they are too thick for my liking...

    Could you possibly do a few pictures with some rims i had in mind?

    Yea no problem mate. I don't really like the spokes on those rims either they are just one I had used on a previous photoshop and they were a matching angle I used them purely for the black with chrome lip

    Which rims were you thinking off give me a couple different ones and i'll see what I can do
