Looking at wheels for my new (used) Vibe a just curious what everyone else thinks...I would say for sure if it was a monotone, but being I have the two-tone, can't make up my mind!

Post photos of the car and the wheel your looking at and someone here will do a photochop of the wheels on your car. You then can make a better informed choicefor instance:my car stock photo:My car with my rims that I will rock in a week or so photochoped on:

That would look good,bronze would also look sweet.I have a 2 tone salsa,though.I have a color similar to gunmetal.

I like how you painted the bottom of your molding as well! Are those Motegi MR7's?! Those are what I'm looking at getting if so!

Bronze look sweet on the frosty(white) Vibes.That gives you another option.They are the MR7's,but I powdercoated them about 2 shades lighter.The lower part is a kit.

Thanks for the info --- I will check out some bronze wheels as well. The kit and your car look great!

I think black w/polished or chrome lip would look good on a white two-tone. Just my 2c. I think white would look good, but they would be difficult to keep clean--especially if you drive hard. I just replace my stock alloys because I was sick of all the brake dust on them.

I think gunmetal rims lok real good on any two-tone vibe.

+1 on the gunmetal/two-tone combo. If it were monotone, I'm not sure gunmetal would look as good, IMO.

Well this pic, the tint is photochoped. Look's good though. I just did the tint on my ride and went with limo on the back door's all the way to the hatch and the front door's with 35%. I'm happy with it. I'll try to post pic's later.....nuvibe

Well it appears the MR7's have been discontinued in 18" unless you want chrome. Guess its time to start looking for another wheel.

I like both options, but the momo rims would be my pick.

Well I bought the MOMO's and went to go have tires mounted on them today...guy mounting the tires comes out and tells me I have one 4-lug wheel. Now I have to wait for another 5-lug before I can put them on! The boxes have the right labels but somebody must not have been paying attention when they put a 4-lug wheel in the box!

gunmetal or black with a chrome ring compliments any 2-tone, because it matches the gray claddingdo it man!and then drop it!

gunmetal would look great on a 2 tone. i'm not a fan of the color, but if i did have a 2 tone, i'd go with the color choice.
