Default What color rims look best on DB?

Need opinions or pics if any of you guys can share. I was thinking the double sixes in chrome or finding a nice set of gunmetal rims with a fat silver lip.

IMO, silver, gold, black look good on DB... I had originally gone with gunmetal and the contrast just wasn't right, but those other colors offer a very nice contrast!!! anything but gunmetal... IMO of course.

It depends on whether you like contrast or not. Personally, I'm going for silver. Black and gunmetal don't stand out enough against the blue.

hmm never seen gold wheels on a DB. I'd love to see a pic of that if anyonwe has one. I love the Chapagne Double Sixes and if they looked good on a DB I'd buy those in a heartbeat.

black offers a great contrast with the blue, it is the gunmetal that doesn't!

oh and you can easily get your emblems gold, and paint your doorhandles gold if you wanted... wouldn't be very expensive (except the wheels of course)

Cat,
How many different sets of wheels have you gone through? And yes Diamond Black Volks look sweet with DB....

My favorite are the Diamond Black SF Challenges on a Daytona Blue Z.....i can't find the pic but will post it once I do....

Even though I'm from UCLA, I still couldn't pull off having gold rims on a blue car.

It's a very unique look.

i would also say silver, black with chrome lip or complete chrome rims.

i was think´n about the gold for my db z but i deciede to put the volk racing
gt-c in mercury on it.
maybe you should look at the "discussion gallery" forum there is a thread:
DB vs. Silverstone. maybe this could make you choice a little bit easier.

regards
