Right now i have the factory 19s painted black on my white G8 and i am wanting some new VMR 710 but cannot decide between the hyper silver or black. I had gunmetal VMR710 on my GTO i previously had but you just couldnt see the awesomeness of the rim unless you are up close because it being dark. Anyone ever see a white G8 with silver VMRs?
I saw it in person and the VMR's in silver looked good but I'm a fan of gloss black wheels. It's all personal preference. I'm sure if you did a google search you'd find some other examples to help you decide.
Both look good on a white car with the black giving a more agressive look that the silver. If it was me I would do the charcoal, you could still see the shape of the wheel and it's still going to look agressive. The nice thing about white is you can do anything with the wheels and it's gong to look fine, color just changes attitude.....what mood do you want it to be in?
Here is mine, I have the 701s. The silver looks really good, but I'll be changing to something closer to grey soon. Straight black wheels are least appealing to me.
^^^Agreed.
Perception is the intangible though. I have my snows on Camaro black steelie rims on my G8 now but don't like the look. The car looks smaller and boxier to me.
Can't wait to get my stock 18" GT rims back on or even my Base rims. That's how a G8 should look in my eyes anyway.
Plus I'm a crow and like shiny things....
Go to VMR's website, a lot of rim companies have a rim configuring option where you enter your vehicle year make and color and it will show you what your G8 will look like with any rim and color combo in there inventory.
Yea I would widened the factorys but by the time I find a shop to do it and the wait time and having to buy two replacement wheels for the time being it would cost more in the long run. I am only wanting new rims to have thick tires out the back though.
yea the silver looks awesome, i think thats what ill do. i see yours is lowered, i will be stock height planning on 285 on back tires unless i can squeeze 295 without rubbing.
I had a set powder coated black and they look great clean. If you can keep them clean.
