Time for an upgrade to my stock rims to 18"s but I'm unsure which colour to go for.

No pic of my car ATM but it's a pewter TJ2 AWD which will be lowered with Pedders standard lows & fitted with a ground effects kit.

Black rims always look dirty - and often are. However I think they may be the best pick for your ride. Dumped, kit, tint, fmic, I think the blacks or polished would look a treat :)

I agree with EZ boy on this they do get dirty easy but you cant go past black rims they look hot

the black would be a good contrast to the silver of your TJ i think.

black rims always look great as well - even if they are always getting dirty! lol

you dont want to have too much chome / silver on an allready silver car IMO - it just gets lost. a little contrast always helps to bring out the chrome trimmings on your car well :)

I'm leaning more towards the hyper black as I'm a bit undecided about black rims. Black look better but I reckon they always look a size smaller than they actually are. :confused:

Have been looking at these (http://www.gmaxwheels.com/ssp_director/albums/album-5/hr/Enigma.jpg) also, which while very similar aren't multi-fit. Not sure if that really matters, but.

Those GMAX are a nice rim and I tend to think that hyper black or an anthracite coloured rim look better on lighter coloured cars.
This is the rim I have on mine. There by Rodney Jane Racing

or...

Hyper black for sheezy! What offset you going for 42mm or 45mm?

In my opinion with the style you're looking at I'd say the machine black
I agree would contrast real nice with the silver of your car
If you were looking more at a fat barred (ignore the terrible wording) rim, then I'd say diamond machined would look nice
But thats just my 2c anyway

ATM, I'm thinking 42 offset, with 235/45/18 Kumhos. Not cheap at $290 a corner.
