Help with rim selection

Hi everyone!

I'm interested in buying rims for my car... Right now winter tires are on, and I want to buy rims for my summer tires.

Volks are pretty popular on these forums - however, i'm having trouble visualising the rims on my car.

The color is Liquid Platinum.

Can anyone please help me make a good combination? It doesnt have to be volk rims.. just anything that looks nice

Thanks a bunch!

Jonathan

Something in a similar color or maybe a gun metal would look good. Just search some sites and find a style that jumps out at you. That will narrow it down.

Well if you don't mind paying a high price, look into HREs
Personally I like the attached pic. Looks like sport stock wheels with a lip

you havent looked into any rims yourself? volk GT-30s GT7 some gram lights... Be a little more specific on what style you want...

I.E mesh, 5 star, low spoke, high spoke, lip, no lip...

lol with your description there are hundreds and hundreds of wheels that you could choose from

It is nice, but the price tag is pretty low... does it reflect on its quality?
