heh heh its sure is funny how opinions differ...
~a red car on white wheels is TACKY and not my deal at all.
~any car on silver wheels that are aluminum wheels is pretty nice looking, meaning they are not painted silver but rather left the silver color of aluminum or also machined or shotpeened/sandblasted, I like it all, pure and raw metal, NICE
~the rota gunmetal is kind of, um, ugly. I have seen aLmoSt-vtec's teg with his gunmetal subzeros and they are too metal flake, too clear coat, too many colors in one paint, too um, not-even-close-to-the-real-color-of-a-gun-so-why-do-they-call-it-gunmetal-anyhow...!
~the silver subzero has a machined/polished lip that looks very very good on a sunny day, on any car. makes the wheel look a lot nicer than its price would suggest too, thats always a good thing

LOL, go with silver, bronze, black... even gunmetal if you feel the need, but please dont put white wheels on a red car.

Those look good of course I guess I am bias considering I have a set in silver w/polished lip on a red 92vx. I think they are worth the $390 I spent on em and they compliment the S-03's and my wilwoods well. So I give them a

BRONZE!!!

Why? Because it is a bad-*** bronze from Rota, and it would look great IMO.

Need proof?

Here's red on bronze:



Not a hatch, but you get the idea.

And I recommend 15'' rather than 16'' from experience. I love my 15'' wheels much more than any 16'' wheel I've owned. Better sticky tires in 15'' and less likely to scrub.

Want to see bronze 15'' Rotas on a hatchback? Here:



That's my new car on 15'' Rota Circuit 8's.

One more argument for 15'' wheels on an Eh hatch:





Those are my 2 old 1992 Si hatches. My fiancee' has the one on the right still, and the one on the left is my old car. I liked the wheels so much that I kept them and they are the same as pictured on my new Silver hatch seen above
