Meteor Shower - What color wheels?

[BigMF]

All, I'm hoping to pick up my Meteor Shower 250 in the next week or so. I'm looking for advice on wheel color. I know the stock answer for most folks will be "BLACK". While, I can see why most say that, I'm not a HUGE fan of black wheels. They seem to just disappear inside the black tire. If I'm going to spend all this money for new rims, I want them to pop just a bit. What do you guys think about the Titanium/Charcoal/Gunmetal colors that some of the makers have? Not sure if they would clash with the Meteor Shower or compliment or neither.

Gold with... Diamond studed Lug Nuts! and a Grill for your teeth while driving.... just kidding... Black... but not gloss! Top right pic.. It looks complex but not too busy.

Fellow Meteor Shower owner: I think you have to be careful not to disrupt the black/tan balance that the car has, but having said that I'd say Method's Titanium finish looks nice and is still noticeable.

Don't overthink it, matte black will look the best. Adding too many colors to the pallet will look overly busy.

I agree with @coryten, however these options may work. Have you tried a vizualizer?

Whatever you do, DON'T go bronze!

Method's Titanium but there selection of offset is limited.

I’d pick a bronze colored wheel

So you don't think I should go with blue?

I have a meteor shower and am tempted by the gunmetal / titanium wheels I’ve seen out there. Want to see someone else do it first tho lol!

I’ve been searching hard for a Japanese made wheel that would look good on the LC, it’s been tough to find.

TE 37XT's in black are my dream wheel but man $800 per wheel is insane. Looks like they're only $250 a pop in Japan lol.

What about something like these?

Agree! I really like the OZ rally raid too, may do those in 17inch wheels.

At this point just look into the TRD Pro wheels as the designs are very similar, they'll have perfect fitment and a less douchey logo haha.

All the TRD’s I can find are +4 offset. I’m worried that will be too much poke.

Somebody on Facebook posted their set of charcoal wheels. About an 80% match still not perfect.

I did find these 18" TRD's with a 45MM offset. These might be a winner. Guaranteed fit, good price, matte black, good offset to add just a bit of poke.

I think that looks nice actually, may go that route
