.....the bottom left one in black.

to make the colour stand out, put maybe a pink or silver sticker on the caliper? like a subaru, or sti, or brembo sticker. Thus not making it TOO black behind the black wheels

Although gunmetal would look nice also

sounds good, gunmetal five spokes with the white lettering and the background of big black callipers, sounds rude!

what brakes did you change too???

looking at them wheel choices u may have clearance issues as they are very similar to the wheels I wanted but they dont clear brembos.
In the end I went for Gunmetal Ultralite A-Tech

All of the wheels posted look toss IMO.

If you want to continue your rally theme, why not go with some rally wheels?

White MOs or Revolutions maybe? Speedlines or OZ in white?

most wheels with a deep lip will not give you clearance m8 unless spacers are used.

PFF7 reps in white
