Wheel color choice on TWB: White, Black or Other

Just taking a quick poll. I've settled on the Buddy Club SF as my wheel but my jury is still out on the color. So, I'm opening it up to you guys. Give me your opinions here. We have white, black, gunmetal or the black with yellow trim. Thanks in advance!

TWB is what exactly? Ohhh nevermind, Tide Water Blue. That color is not offered in Japan, I think the closest to it is Sherbert Blue Metallic, but the Tidewater has a bit of lilac look to it.

White should look good with it since the color is kind of pastel looking. My vote is going to white.

I lean toward the gunmetal. But the cool thing with that blue is that everything works.

You are correct, Tidewater Blue. I'm leaning towards white as well but I will be covering my roof with matte black vinyl (It's ok, I've already talked Marsbars about it) so I don't want to go too overboard with color.

Sigh. I bought this car to leave stock and just drive but this site has rekindled my addiction...

If a car is left stock it is never really "yours". The gunmetal and black would work, not sure about black with yellow lip though, someone should photoshop all the colors onto a TWB Fit and then post up.

Gunmetal or black is starting to win my hear. I found these Enkeis that I think will fit but the websites I find them on say no (I'm looking to get the 16x7, 4x100, 43 offset versions):

Enkeis on Amazon

Back to the rims - LOL! If you are going to go with a black top then you might want to go with black or gunmetal - where are you getting your Buddy Club rims from? I am getting ready to order the same rim in white for my Milano Red. Can't wait to see them on your car.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I ended up ordering the Bronze 5Zigen GN+s in 16x7. Should look pretty good. Eibachs will be here on Monday and my vinyl is set up to be done when I get back from Vegas next week. Pretty psyched.

I have an idea for my interior but I gotta see how the funds pan out next month...and of course I'll post pics

Cat,
I was going to order them from Amazon (they have a white set for like $550, not sure the size). Looks like a good deal, I love me some Amazon!

Not sure yet. Tires have never been my forte. I want something with decent ride quality and good on gas mileage. Performance (stickiness) would be nice but is not a priority. I'm gonna do a search for a rubber thread here in a sec but would love to hear some firsthand opinions.
