The desire for green will make PsychoMartyr happy! He may even do a little GIMP (Photoshop-esque program) session for you. Might be easier to decide if he can give you a quick mock-up. I'm biased, but I think a flat black or gun metal might look amazing (especially with your tails tinted). But, you are trying to walk away from black. Maybe white, to play off your Stig sticker? Painting your calipers might scratch your itch, too...

You could always try black rims with green calipers... that might be just enough green.

Maybe im just old....but I think your Vibe looks great as is. Especially with the drop on the factory wheels ( great looking factory wheels BTW ) & the tinted tails.

I love when folks tint their tails, just slightly, then have gun metal/dark gray rims. It pulls the look together for me. I am a big fan of red on the calipers for kick (removed) contrast.
