Best Black or Gold Wheel?

Hello everyone I have been searching for wheels on many forums and its tough!!!

I have a IP coupe and I was looking at black or gold, with that said I was thinking 19 but why not 20?

For those who don't mind if you can post the best looking wheel in black or gold and what size they come in, thanks.

go with gold. don't settle for anything but gold with IP. it really sets the look both performance minded as well as pimp looking. gotta have a multi piece too because just a gold circle with no polish/chromed ring looks fugly. 20's huh? may i suggest either Work, Volk, or Advan's (not sure if advan's got multi piece 20's though). what type of style are you going for? mesh, 5+ spoke?

Thanks for the feed back, I like the spoke look, like GT-7/GT-C/Challenge but if I decide to go with 20's GT-C's will be my only option. I also wanted to see by starting this thread if someone would post wheels that are not as common as the one's mentioned above. All and any feed back is welcomed and thanks to those who respond.

Nobody except kamal on this forum has the same wheel, but his wheels come with rivets.

Depends...i have a 04 IP coupe and i have been lookin for that perfect wheel for a while now...

Black looks really cool if u have dark tinted windows and (like me) a CF hood or other black accents...

Gold looks really cool if your goin for a (in my opinion) smoother look...

Both (to me) are very JDM-ish and cool.....def go 20's if you can A) afford and B) dont care too much about perf.....

As for brands, Volks are always a safe bet....and peeps always say they are played, well ive never seen a G cruising around my area with Volks...Works are unreal!!! but cost a lot.......iForged are really nice as well....

Im sure im missing some obvious choices, but make sure u get the wheel that u like best. Dont worry about what the others say...

While were at it - what wheels should i get?????
Heres my ride...

The funny part is people will buy it just cause it says made in Japan!

oh, forgot to say, "made in Japan" = "Japan made" or means manufactured in Japan just try to make it clear

these days internet is popular and when one does a little homework, he/she shall find out the manufacture for sure

Doesn't the body kit come with some imprints saying made in xxx (some where other than Japan)? "from Japan" is NOT the same as "made in Japan", hm... .

looks like I'm in the minority

Black, I have always thought that black wheels give the impression of a race car. Gold is for pimps ;-)
