Two questions first: what does your car look like (pics) and what do the rims you're interested in buying look like?

I'm gonna go take pictures of it right now with my cell. As for the rims im interested in, i actually have no idea thats why i'm asking for suggestions. i went to this website called tirerack.com and its helpful because it shows you the car with the rim on it. I've never bought rims before so im all new to this.

My laser red coupe

I just put the HPD MSR wheels on my 04 coupe. They are black with a polished lip. 20x8.5 and 20x10 with a 25mm offsett. Give me your email address and I will send you some pics.

On a red G, I prefer silver over black and anything else over chrome.

i definitely wouldnt mind chrome but i find black to be cheaper. besides, the black goes great with tint and it isnt as big of a target as chrome.

Red is versatile. I like just about anything on red . . . even gold (as a rule I don't like gold). I chose hyper black for mine, but I looked at chrome, polished, black and silver.

Those look good. I would say polished over all but chrome or gunmeatal for sure. A true black will not look right.

I like how silver and gunmetal looks on most G's, especially the LR.
