Black with the chrome lip is what’s in that’s why people choose to all join the same bandwagon. I may self like gray/chrome.

Not to jack the tread… I haven’t taken any new piks of the 335 yet I’ll take some this weekend if it nice out. I also want to remove the engine cover so I can see the TT.

I want black rims on my black tC to match and I'm making the whole car black, so that's my idea behind it. Plus, I think it looks really good.

I like gunmetal, personally.

Depends on the color of the gunmetal...........some gunmetal seems darker than others and some lighter. I guess it depends on what you want it to look like too....ALL dark, or some dark/some light....

I’ve seen some local BSPs with gunmetal wheels and the look very nice I like them better then the whole black with polished lip thing.

yeah but I want all black, no polished around it. And that gunmetal and black isn't bad, I like it. Just not my personal preference, but I think it looks good.

Yeah, it just really depends on the overall color scheme you're going for.

It's a passing trend. At one point (1990's) it was hot to have pure white rims (gag)

I like graphite/gunmetal. Web is right though, it just depends on what you're going for.

haha my roommate had white rims on his red jetta. Actually looked pretty cool. He still has the rims and offered them to me for free to throw on the tC if I even wanted to and I was like uhh... thanks but no thanks. lol.

I've noticed the current street trend is taking 70's model cars like a Chevy Caprice Classic and making it look like a Hot Wheels car with 24 inch rims and glitter metallic paint jobs. You catch some black on black sometimes too.

That's called "boxing" the worst thing I've ever seen it's all about the bronze/hyper black/gold
