I'm interested in buying wheels for my white 96 talon w/ black roof. I don't really know which models to get but if I can figure out what color to get it would make my decision alot easier and yes I know it's my money and my prefrence but would you choose a black/gunmetal wheel or a white one?

if you want performance get 15. if you want looks then get 17. but if you get 17 its going to look like a 4x4 until you lower it.

gunmetal is HOT! And I say 16". It will look good won't really sacrificing anything like ride quality or pot hole resistance.

What rota wheels do you think would look good? I like the slipstreams but will I look like an idiot because they're supposed to look like spoon wheels. You can see them on www.machiii.net

Since your car is white w/ a black roof..I would say get some 17" gunmetal or black (i say gunmetal) rims BUT with a chome/silver lip. That would look sick! Everything would match up perfectly. I
f my eclipse was white, I would have done that!
Good luck, plus when it does get eventually lowered....DAMN!

BLACK! don't do white on white, that would look weird and cheap. White wheels look cheap IMO.

Yeah dude, thats whats going on MY dsm (when I get it). Dont go white on white, I agree it looks like ass. I would get silver or gunmetal. I think chrome is too gaudy. Also, if you want 15" Slipstreams you could just get 2g stock rims, they look pretty close and would be lots cheaper.

I'd go black or gunmetal 16 or 17". Rotas, mentioned, can be cheap and light. From a performance standpoint, light rims are a money worthy mod. Sites like this (http://www.wheelweights.net/) have lists.
They say rims can be light, cheap, and durable: choose two. I waited to find something on sale, myself. FYI, stock rims for some cars are sweet, too. 3g rx-7 rims are nice.
