Gunmetal on Black FD

Okay I know this forum is mainly for tech issues but, I haven't gotten to many bites in the wheel forum. I want to get Volk GT-N's but I was thinking about getting the gunmetal one, reason for not getting gold is that I might have a hard time trying to sell them when I get bored with them, and silver is to plain and white ummm no thanks. So do any of you have a gunmetal rims on your black FD and if so can you please post pics, And Mod please don't move this to the wheel forum, Since it is related to an FD only.
Thanks

I have a montego blue 93, for now, I am going to spend money under the hood to make it more reliable, but, I am thinking about getting the stock wheels powder coated a gunmetal shade. I love gunmetal, I think that gunmetal looks good on any color car... Go for the gunmetal

I like the look, but it is still hard to tell w/ the aluminum lip....... grrr.... There is a guy around who can get 2002 stock wheels for a good deal.. He had mentioned a group buy, but I have yet to see it. I will get more details and let you know.. Darn, I was looking for the picture he sent me but I can't find it!

Hey Airn please do me a huge favor and get me some pics, if you don't have a digital camera, most camera places will put your photos on a floppy disk. Thanks for the pic FDRZRich looks great. And 7sweetie Rich has a 96 to 98 RX-7 and thats the spoiler that they had then and in 99 they changed again to the same spoiler the 2002 RX-7 has.

It's a good idea. I'll get some great gunmetal or gold wheels with a deep polised dish for my car one of these days. Either option you win ... the gunmetal will look fine, especially with that lip.
