been trying to decide what rims i should get for next season.
painting the rims wont be a big deal, since the father in-law paints cars for a living and knows good pricing on powder coating.
heres the three ideas ive narrowed it down too.
Gold EAP's

Black EAP's

or RS 18's with a custom dark grey or even black

any opinions would help

IMO, if you have the same model/color car I'd go for EAP's. When it comes to choosing a color, i think Gold would look excellent. Unless you are going for a stealthy look.

Yah I would have to agree with Dimitri, those dark grey RS rims would look bad ass on that car.
