    Are silver/metallic silver cars doomed to wearing silver wheels?

    I'm doing my research in getting a set of smaller wheels for my silver levin and it seems that silver cars are doomed to only wearing silver wheels ....

    Sure you could stick on a set in bronze or white; but they wouldn't complement the colour of the car.

    So, i guess what i'm really asking, show me pics of silver cars with rims in other colours than silver and look good.

    Why would you say that? Silver wheels look bland on silver cars.

    In general, constrasting colours for wheels looks the best with bodywork paint. For light silver, that means dark. Black is safe, but I've always preferred a very dark shade of gunmetal.

    So my non-bronze 17" TE37s above, with the Advan A032Rs, look hot?

    Damn, I knew I shouldn't have sold them for so cheap.
