Which Aspec wheel for SSM 04'

ok, I've decided to get the aspec wheels now, but I have another doubt right now..

Should I go with the GUNMETAL 18x8.5 or the SPARKLE SILVER 18x8??

Is the gunmetal too dark too my car?? I dont wanna get toooooo much contrast with the wheels..

PLEASE OPINIONS ARE WELCOME!!!! Thanks..

You're gonna have a hard time finding the 8.5 in. Gunmetal, as they we're only produced in 2004... Especially a mint set.

if you can get the 8.5" in good condition in gunmetal go for it..............I love mine and they look great on SSM, I think thats the color they were made for





Just put some meaty tires on them to protect the lip more, 245 or 255 tires will be better than the OEM 235.

you can use the black brake caliper as a guide to see how the shade is compared to black.

I dont think its too dark, in fact I wouldnt even call it gunmetal, most aftermarket gunmetal colors are a lot darker

I think I mentioned it already but maybe on another thread.. I bought them at Acura of escondido... he does'n't have it listed on ebay but you can always contact him through ebay contact and ask him if he has any sets left..

I think his name is scott..

I got them after 1 day of ordering them.. Of course, I'm located in LA
