Ok this has probably been done before but I could not find anything.
What rim color would you suggest for Satin Silver EP3.
I am going to get 16" Rota Sub-Zero.

Well I went with Gunmetallic Rota sub-zeros I wish I would have went with black instead. They are more of a brownish grey.

See I am leaning towards the Bronze or Sport Bronze.
The gun metal is cool but so many people do it, I just don't want to be "Well there is another EP3 with gun metal rims".

I'd go with the bronze -- looks good, and you can actually make it look clean, unlike the sport bronze.

If you want the regular bronze to look sporty, just don't wash 'em for a while. ;)

i say polished metal...cuz if you go bronze or black you might get tired of the jdm look as time passes.

Ya, I never thought of that, polished is classic and won't really go out of style.

i saw aRz's car in person...he has sport bronze on silver and it looks perfect..or if you dont like sport bronze i think polished goes good with silver cars.

Yo I don't know if your stuck on any perticular type of rim, but have you consider hyperblack or hypersilver. The rim gives of a glossy shine as if it was chrome but not the weight or the high shine. I think the hyper look compliments the silver EPs just right and adds little class as well as sporty look to the car.

I have looked at some hyperblack and hypersilver, but they all don't follow the same look. Some have a chrome look and some don't. Since I have no place locally to see the Rota's i'd rather not take the risk.
But they do look cool.
After seeing getch74 I am going with the bronze, that just looks sick.

I went with Steel Grey C8's... they look weird in the picture, but then again nothing compares to the real thing. They look darker in real sight, the flash just set off the lighter color. They are a little darker than silver, but not too dark. It is a nice variation.

My thoughts are just plain silver. It's a classic look and to the rest of the world it doesn't look like you have DIRTY ASS rims 24/7.

That's what I was thinking when I finally settled on silver rims for my black EP. Bronze kicks ass, but no matter what I could do, I don't think it would have that sparkly clean look that plain ol' silver does. I also think that chrome looks kinda silly, too, so silver is a good balance to me.

I am suprised that bronze would look dirty all the time, thanks for the info.
Since I drive so much it might be a good idea, that is why I bought a silver EP, it takes awhile for it to look dirty.
