Default Help on choosing wheels for kona blue

Folks,

Been browsing for new wheels for a week or so, and would greatly appreciate your feedback on these wheels in terms for color for a 2012 kona blue gt. These are the wheels i've been looking at, and wondering which color would fit the overall look of the car.

1) Godspeed Omega Stealth Black 20" staggered.

2) Godspeed Omega Black/Machined 20" staggered as well.

3) Also like these black machined GT500 19" wheels.

Here's a shot of my car as it is now with the 5 spoke factory 19"s


If anyone as the godspeed wheels on kona blue car, would be great you could post pics.

Thanks in advance.

black is pretty common, and they are so 'hidden' in 90% of scenarios that other people would be looking at em. they look great in the day time, while your car is parked, but meh, not for me!

you probably won't like my suggestions. I'm a younger guy (27) and I've been influenced by the car culture I've grown up with, and the car shows I've gone to the past 11 years. the best colors for wheels on a blue car are bronze, gold and gunmetal. White can look good as well, but they are a bitch to keep clean. I had bronze volk ce28n's on my blue car and they looked amazing.

godspeed products are notorious for being cheap and failing. out of your picks, I'd go with the GT500 wheels.

I prefer silver wheels on Kona Blue, just not the factory five spoke. That is what my car came with. I really like my Drag DR37, just the right offset.

OP - Are you planning on lowering your car?

Anyone else digging the wheels that are on it?

I'm partial to black personally and would have them on my car if I didn't have the silver stripes down the middle.

Your first or second choice look good.

Hi,

Thanks for all the great feedback! Right now, don't have plans on lowering. I suspect that it could happen once i start looking at what else i can do with the car down the road when the mod bug hits again.

Budget is at most $2000 for wheels and tires. (damn...that's a lot of change lol).

I've gone through pics everywhere looking at wheels, doesn't get any easier!
