is that a silver car you got? it's usually best to go with a gray scale in that case, although ive seen some bronze wheels on silver cars that
didn't look too bad as long as it's a dark bronze.

LOL not to throw a monkey wrench in here but like the first ones on top. Then again, dont listen to me as I am a cheap bastard and have the stock sport rims and wont be buying anything new until I replace my tires in a year or so. (if I even decide to buy new rims)

EeeeeNeeee MeeeenNeeee miny moe...
I say the sencond one (bronze-ish) ... It makes me warm and fuzzy inside...
but for your car I would say the TA type red lip...for reasons "Illusive"
mentioned.
I also think that the last ones (flat black-ish) one would look slick because of the contrasting theme to your car....
So If you get all three you would be set
or maybe get one of 4 diff types and each side of your car will by stylin
OOOOH yeah...do that "Picasso" Fit thing

Do not get the black with the red lip, that time attack look is DONE. It's over folks, get over it.
The new "cool" time attack look is white with red lip. Anyways I think you should get the gunmetal, or the black with polished lip.

Not over until the fat lady dance LOL black and red lip is still in, in the maritime a bit slower over here.

I'd go with the bronze (2nd one). I agree with smatts though on the time attack style... I think it just got killed with all the replicas coming out in that style and then people DIY'ing their own rims in that style as well.

Its sooo odd...
I hope when people say stuff is "over" and "done" that they are not basing that just on what they encounter and experience from web related surfing (as opposed to ocean surfing... )
Because I am a very long time auto enthusiast and from "just" the out and about aspect and super long commuting I see a TON of bronze rims (and I still love them to death) but I cant even recall but only once seeing a TA type and it was on an EVO. ooops I do recall now seeing another one on an old primered up Civic hatch (both were blk w/red)
at events and the like I see more but even then its not outdone IMH(of most H)O....
the only things that I ever see that "seem" like "five minutes ago" is too dark tint, too bright aftermarket lights, and poorly fitted primered body kits....oooh yeah and tin can fart pipes ....ummm...and insane earth moving bass...
I dont necessarily mind those...but if I had to pick things that got old a long time ago those would be my picks...
ok...the loud bass I actually do mind...its unfortunate...but it really stresses me out and makes me miserable...
anywho back to topic...
I think (since your avatar shows it) you should do a PS swap and see what you dig...idunno...whudduya think?

Yeah but fake CF pattern. I think you need to decide what looks best on your car, not what other people are rocking. A lot of people buy it because everyone else is, those people are idiots with ugly non matching rims. I still say time attack look...
