Had to vote for the gunmetal ones. I think that the gold color is to bling bling for the Vibe IMO, unless thats what your after? I do think that the gold and blue would look good together though. I guess you need to ask yourself, "do I want it to have that look of class or do I want the look of street machine." If you have tan interior then I think that the gold would look good. Gold overlays to match might even look good in that case. Just my 2 cents worth.

If you're gonna go for the gold bling-bling, repaint the silver trim on the front grilles, Vibe badges, and roof-rack gold too.

Well I have the gunmetal ones on my Vibe, though those gold ones look really nice but to bling bling for me. I'm going for the tough look.

As a chick who knows nothing about cars, I would have to agree with everyone else. Those gold ones are a little too "Pimp My Ride" for my taste, but the gunmetal ones look hot!

Cool! I remeber that pic, I have it saved somewhere. I would love to see that cruising down the street! If only I were still in high school I would rent it for prom!

Black wheels with a polished rim are very nice looking especially on a dark colored car.

sorry (and phil should know this already) i don't care for the gunmetal look. but the gold/bronze are really bad. so if the choice is b/w the two, go with the gunmetal over the others.

Yup thats Juliana's Vibe though I don't know if its hers anymore. Last time I talked to her, she was going to sell it to her mother. I'll have to e-mail her to see how she is, have not seen her in ages.

I spent $140CAD per rim plus $120CAD a tire for P215/45R17 from a local shop. They are an identical brand to the ICON spelled IKON. Same rim, cheaper price then the asking price online.
