Hiya gang,

Opinion time! I’m having trouble choosing the right colored wheel for my car. So how did you choose yours?

I have a deep brown colored car (‘13 outback), basically purple in the right lighting, so I’m at a lost a what color I’d like. Let me just say that super un-ordinary colors are not for me - so no pink, baby blue, yellow (but bronze is okay!). So far, my biggest choices are between gunmetalish grey, white, and bronze. Any suggestions on how to match the right color?

Obviously I know this is going to be widely varying in answers, but I’d like to see thought processes, opinions, advice and tips!

Edit: aforementioned car! Sorry I didn’t upload it originally. Couldn’t get signal to transfer the pic

My thoughts are that you can never go wrong with silver or raw aluminum colored wheels.

If you’re looking for something more colorful than that, it’d help to have a photo of the color of your car.

My car is sparkling graphite (metallic gray that has a purple hue in certain lights.. I like it) and it looks pretty sharp with gunmetal wheels. Not my car, but mine is identical besides the roof rack.

Gunmetal is always the answer, except when the answer is bronze. White never looks as good as gunmetal.

And don’t forget to consider the tire colour as well...

I would say bronze would look the best! Other then that maybe keep them silver, I think flat black wheels are kinda on the way out.

I am in love with your car. If only they offered that color on the 2015’s.
