Yeah gold and gunmetal would be fine. Its just the jet black with the polished lip on gold that wouldnt look so great.

Also, I drove on my Blizzak's well into May because I was waiting on a second set of 14" for my higher treadwear tires. I balded the RF one, but that was because of a bad alignment....

I have 17x7.5 Rotas on 225/45-17

I had to roll the rear lip to prevent tire rub and it clears fine now, I think I'm going lower now!

I'm sure but not by much... it's 1/2 taller than the 205/60-15. I think the 215/45-17 will be the better way after I put the adj. suspension on it.

Ok, well it has been a little while now. Still without new rims, but I have come to the conclusion that Gold car + any color + polished lip wouldnt look as good as the rims alone do. SO, I now have THE wheel that I want to get. Oh yeah, and did I mention I can't find it anywhere??[:'(]

17x7.5 ADR DV-8 (BLACK or sand black?)

I want them!!

Does anyone know where I could find these?
Thanks for your help, people. It's about time I get some stinkin' rims![:@]
