my new wheels to be...

19 inch ISS Forged FM-10s with Step Lips
I'm still deciding what finish to go with on them, maybe leave em like that, maybe do a carbon wrap, maybe do a nice dark color...not sure yet...any ideas?

My first choice would be to leave them like that, second would be silver inside, third would be a light shade of gunmetal grey.

i was thinking of maybe doing something really different like a dark purple...like have you ever seen the purple heart FD...the color of his paint...i think on the silver it'll be really different and i'm sure many will disagree but i like doing things ur not supposed to lol

I like the brushed finish the best.
Second choice would be charcoal with contrasting lightweight lug nuts (orange perhaps)
Call ***** out and coat them Orange. (it would be different, but in six months you would get tired of them)
BTW the step lips will make the 19's look like 18's.
Im glad your steppin off the the 20's.

XD9s are sick as well, but yea... you should keep these wheels, maybe like curacaofinest said paint the faces. But if you do sell them, how much you think you will ask for them? :p

Dark purple would work too, silver car can tolerate these kind of colours. I think it'd have to be a real deep metallic purple (yes like purple heart), something you'd see in a house of kolor catalogue. But all silver looks classy so purple would take away from that a bit I think. Decisions decisions

Good input... I kind of like it but wife says they are too gold.

Can anyone do some Photochop them in different color for me? Also I was going to sell them because one of the rear wheel, outer barrel got some off road scars.

If your wife says they are too gold, then your only options are silver or charcoal, and maybe white. You don't have many options due to the colour of your car imo. Btw I like these wheels more then your previous ones, they compliment the car better.

I personally like the GOLD!!! Wife just hates them.. But she doesn't have to look it at all the time so I think its ok.

Here is another picture of the car.. white balance was off and took them few times before battery died.. I think I'm going to keep these and forget about getting the XD9s.. Maybe later on, get powder coated satin black or something... but more I look at them, I like the gold on MB.

Yeah I don't mind gold wheels either. Maybe if you covered your bucket seats with tan leather, they'd compliment the gold wheels better. This is as far as my ms paint skills go

Uh, cover his Spirit R Recaros in tan leather? That's a great idea

Phil, I think those wheels in a matte black finish would look sick on your FD, I definitely like the style of them regardless of color

Then you need to paint them the same color of your car or black and rock the chrome lip
