i recently got the tint done, and now the stock wheels look way to light against the dark car. the guy that did my tint says he can powdercoat the stock wheels for a decent price. i'm thinking they would look good in a gunmetal or hypersilver or something...but i can't seem to find a lot of pics on the Black Cherry. anybody got some? Or some decent photoshop skills? i don't want different rims, as i like the stock ones, and i'm cheap as hell...


heres a pic:

I am planning on getting a set of bronze 5 spoke rims for my BCM. Not sure how the stockers would look in that color though, might be a little busy. You are right, there aren't many pics with our color. There was a gallery over on another forum but it is apparently not working any more.

What were those other rims you had on your car? They looked sort of like the Mazdaspeed Ray's wheels for our car (I like them but $440 each is a bit much).

Eh, not a fan of that color scheme. I think a bronze color would look cool.
