Advice on gunmetal wheels!

I have a Milano Red 08 fit and I want to get 17 in gunmetal rims. I have been searching and searching for red fits with gunmetal rims but I haven't found any. Does anyone have pics of that combination? Or any suggestions? ( I am looking for 5 or 6 spoke styles with out a polished lip) I am on a budget though! So far I have found 2 in my price range and they are Kyowa Racing KR 595 and Riax Sonoma and I found them both on ebay. I did come across another by Kyowa KR210, but they seem to have been discontinued! So any help would be greatly appreciated. And I do plan on lowering my car with springs.

gunmetal on red would look FANTASTIC!

try the wheel selector feature at tirerack and americastire.
you can sort of get the idea of wat darker wheels would look
on your car.

I have allready tried tirerack but I didn't know about americastire. I ll have a look at them. I just know realized that americastire is the same as discount tire. I am a moron. Thank you for the suggestions.


Does anyone know if anyone is selling a set of Kyowa KR210 in gunmetal 17's? It is a 5 spoke rim but the gunmetal color has been discontinued. Only silver and hyper black left.

you should check the "For Sale" section or ebay. You can always find good deals on wheels. Or craigslist even.
