dont have any pics, but i would suggest going with gunmetal rims with chrome lips. those would look particularly sweet on a black 2g.

Fuckin right! That's exactly what style I'll be getting to go with my dsm. Hell, I might just paint the stockers gunmetal and leave the lip as it is. I've seen this done to quite a few black 2gs, and it looks pretty damn good.

Nothing special. Loved the looks of the stock rims, except I wanted one's that didn't break on me. LoL. 18" silver with a polished lip. Although it's hard to see it in that picture. I really gotta get new pics. Haha. But it's all I have for now.

That first car belongs to a guy I talk to. He frequents the same board I do. That picture is quite old actually. His car has changed quite a bit, especially under the hood. LoL. But if you're really searching for a lot of pictures to gain some ideas. You can look up the galleries on DSMTuners.

And the wheels I have, they did come in various sizes and colors. I went with 18's due to the road around here. If I went with 19's, I wouldn't have enough rubber to keep me somewhat safe from all the potholes around where I live, LoL. Anyways the wheels I have, they came with a black with polished lip, gunmetal with a polished lip, and the one's I bought, silver with polished lip.

BTW, here's a closeup of my wheels that I found.

my car is going black after I'm finished unbashing the front from my wreck. I really like the look of the 10 spoke oems. In fact, I got luck a few months ago and have a set sitting in my garage I picked up cheap. Thats prolly what I'm gonna go with, then put winter tires on these finn 17's..

Jake wern't you running the stock 10 spoke 17's on the Rst?

Personally, I think that chrome would look the best on a black 2g. I have a '99 gs with the OZ rims, which are pretty nice, but they are like a dull grey color. I am thinking about painting them, but don't want them to turn out shitty and then I would be out some decent wheels.
Anybody know the best way to paint wheels? Or would that be a dumb idea and I should just buy some chrome rims?

Here is a picture of the wheels on my black Talon. I just got the car and i'm rebuilding the engine so I haven't even looked at what kind they are. I think they look awesome on it. If you want to know what they are let me know an I will get that information.
