rims are hard to suggest because we can like something that you will not or vice versa i say search around forum and maybe you will find something that you like also budget is a big factor too look at some

haha i've been debating what rims to put on for the past 3 years girgio09 LOL. i made a thread or 2 about it, kinda like my "journey" to search for the perfect wheels, and it all comes down to this.
black - certainly matches gray, BUT you lose a lot of the details of the wheels and many times, it only look good in edited pictures. in real life it just looks sort of like steelies and if you don't keep it clean, it might not look nice.
alternative - have a black face, but polished lip gives a good contrast
silver - gives a good contrast and looks good. its not my #1 choice, there's only a FEW silver wheels that i think looks good on grigio, but you might want to look into that
gunmetal - my #1 choice. kinda have that grey on grey look, a "smoky" theme or a stealth mode kinda theme. i like that. some gunmetals are lighter, some are darker but not yet black. it is still a different shade of grey than the grigio and yet it looks good
as for brands and what kinds of wheels, it all depends on your budget. do you mind knock off wheels? or only want legit ones? usually knock offs are much cheaper brand new, but quality isnt as good (should be good enough for daily driving though) and quality wheels are $$$, but you can try to find a set in the black market

axis, or 5:axis (which is what killerg posted. i love those rims, im debating between those and the forgestar)

I wish I has 19 inch tires but again can't beat free tires. I have to put pics up of my car but the grill is blacked out and so are the emblems along with tinted tail lights. I would go with black or gun metal for sure

just be careful with picking gunmetal...every brand seem like they have different version of what gunmetal color looks like
check out my thread those are mb battle gunmetal grey https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tsx-2009-2014-143/cant-wait-slap-850830/
and some other brands have almost matte black color and called it gunmetal

be careful though, 18" with a lip looks smaller than it is.
here is a old member with a set of xxr with a lip. not the same rim, but something similar
couldnt find a pic of him dropped on H&R, i think he deleted them.

So many people like to replace the stock wheels. I, on the other hand like the stock V6 wheels, but it seems with that much of a demand to change, the dealer would option the wheels for a car... bring your own or buy OEM?????
