I've got a Dark Silver/White Roof MCS, that currently has S-Lites, and I want those gone as soon as possible, however I can't seem to find any pictures of similar cars with other wheels. I've looked through the wheel thread, but there is hardly any cars of the same color, and Tire Rack's little preveiw images just don't seem to help me much.
Anyone with the same color car have any recomendations, or does anyone have any pictures of DS/W with nice wheels?
Really what I want to know, what wheels look good on them?

A common color= DS/W
You can go with white wheels or go silver or even dark anthracite and all will look pretty good.
Pick a good tire to go along with it- some non runflats in-
205/45-17 or 215/45-17 or similar.
Both 16" and 17" sizes should work fine.

They do look like they would be nice wheels, but a little wrong on the price -- namely $134 was for 14" wheels
The 17" wheels are $191.90 each.
I know the difficulties of picking out wheels. I have new wheels and tires going on this week (that I ordered at the end of last month to catch a sale) and I have this huge fear I am not going to like them. I'm even spending extra $ to get TPMS sensors for the new wheels and tires so I can swap back to stock more easily if I hate them.
Good luck in whatever route you go, and be sure to post pictures here when you get the new wheels.

Oops,
That would have been a great price.
Thanks for finding that.
In any event Dark Silver is a great color because it does very well with almost anything in Silver from dark almost black (better if the roof was black) to bright silver or chrome. White can work but selection is limited.
Rota wheels come in White along with other shades of silver and come in sizes from 15" to 17".

Shawn's DS/B, not with a white roof, but some Anthacite wheels suit him quite well, like these:
They're SSR Type-Cs.
