Default Bought Varrstoen 2.2.2's what color would you do them??

Guys I sold my ADV's last month. I have a new set on order, but I couldnt stand the look of my car on the stock 16's. Its pittyfull. So while I wait the 9 weeks or so it takes for my new wheels to get made, I opted for a set of Varrstoen 2.2.2's. 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22. Now the million dollar question is, My GS is shown below, what color would you do the wheels in? They are coming in in the standard Matte Black finish. I was thinking of doing them in R35 GT-R Hyper Black. What do you guys think? Im open to suggestions.

I got a fat ticket when I was 17 (20 years ago) for parking in the handicapped like that to take a pic...LOL

Anyways back on topic. Seems like hot pink and neon green are the new hotness for colored wheels, but then you would need the illest badge with fatlace stickers...probably not what you're going for so I'd say go Hyper. It will look perfect.

funny you say the ticket thing, i did get one yeaaaars ago too. lol.
But this was a church by my house on a Sunday, so it was a ghost town.


As for the "funky" pinks, yellow. Its cool and all but not for my car. I have 2 kids and I am 30yrs old. So not a good look for me. LOL.

I dont mind the Bronze, Golds, but those neons. Not so much.

I may put em on in black for now and then get them re-done next week or so. If I don't love the black.

The front +22 will not rub at all, neither will the rear. I am running a stretch front and rear now (225/35 on a 9.5 and 245/35 on a 10.5) more than I had before. On my ADV's I had +15 on a 20x9.5 with a 235/30/20 and did'nt rub the back I ran a 275/25/20 on a 20x10.5+25 and ZERO rubbing, even with my 2 kids in the back. Ran natural camber front and rear. I did roll the front fender and trim the backs.

Very nice! Tint the windows, it will go very well with the black wheels (and will help with the heat in Miami) I'm sure others will chime in on the paint color

Hyper Black will look really nice. You'll still get that nice nice metallic, but with a darker shade. I think it would match perfectly.
