Thoughts on some new rim options?

Hey guys. I was talking about picking up some rims for the cl with my bro and he thought that a black rim with a silver lip would go great on my Inza Red Pearl 2.2. I was wondering if you guys have seen this color scheme rim on an inza red cl and what you think about it. Here are a few rims I have been thinking about grabbing. Lemme kno what you think

Stick with silver, gun metal or bronze for your red

Bronze on red is pimp shit

My bro has ADR's and they're really good, he's rough on his car too, but they've held up very nicely. I'm gunna have him photoshop em on my car so I can take a look.

i like the first ones. the black on red would be hot,but black is getting played out. it's kinda a fad like white rims...........

The first set is my favorite. You could stick with black/polished lip, or go with a silver too. Either will work IMHO

Yea, I like the 1st one and the 3rd one the most, not sure between those 2 I like better tho. I'm kinda leaning toward the 3rd because they go with my simple, but not too simple. I'm gunna go to like town fair tire and have them put on a bunch of different rims for me so I can see how they all look with the car. I'm goin home soon so I'll check em out n let you guys kno.

I got the same black ADR battle axe.

Holds up pretty well. there were questions about ADR quality a few years back, but I think the quality issues have been resolved.

I'm not a fan of the really thin spoke rims, I'm just trying to find out the weight of these rims...

I kinda wish I didn't get gun metal, but instead all black. For the money though they aren't bad. p.s. I like number 2 the best probably too, and then num 1.

You're alone, but it's your car, do what you want. Are u actually plannin to get one of these 3 sets? If you did, I'd still suggest #2 out of the 3. But I still think black wheels won't look right on your red 4x4

Yea, I saw them glossy and now I really like them. I found a couple more that I liked, one of them is clearly a C5 replica.
