Help: I can't decide on rim colour (IKON 8)
Monday, May 15, 2006 12:05 PM
I have a red 99 Z24, i'm set on the IKON 8 GT-5s. but i can't decide on what colour, i was at the shop and they only had black ones on display, they look good, but they are a bit too dark for me, i would like the light to reflect a bit and the blacks dont. so i was thinking either gun metal or Hyper Black. i've never seen a set of hyper blacks, i heard they are a weird colour. so since i can't decide i'm asking for some advice here.


these are the exact rims, i have no idea what colour these are but its the style i want. Also if anyone has pics of the gt-5s in different colours, please post them, and if they are on a red car it would be more helpful. I searched, but no luck.

First off...nice choice on wheels. I would say go with the gunmetal finish. The hyperblack is a really wierd finish from what i've seen in person. From one angle it'll look silver, and from another angle it'll look more like a gunmetal color.

Croatian, i'm almost 100% positive that wheel pic you posted is gunmetal. The finishes will vary slightly with each manufacturer
