Default color on wheels? (and 07 rabbit pics)

hey guys,
when I'm browsing through some car magazines and photos, there are usually some really cool wheels that are black and also have another color on the wheel, making it look pretty sweet. personally i'm looking for a red to match my 07 rabbit, but do you any of you know any wheel companies that do designs like these? i'm preferably looking for under $400 a wheel and around 17"-19" (haven't decided which would look better yet on a mk5)

--

anyway, my ride:
no real mods yet, but I want to get some nice wheels to kick up the factor. if i suddenly get $2k I'd gladly put on some sick body kits too. mk5s can get really nice with the right combination of body kits IMO




^ popped off the ugly 'ol rabbit logo and put a nice, European 'GOLF'

Nice pics, you may want to think abotu doing your suspension first, stock ride height + wheels and/or body kit = ugly.

I agree with Brett. New wheels (between 17-19") will cost you more than $400 for a decent set. Especially if you want to color match them. Might I suggest a set of Raerwerks wheels? I think a nice set of 18" black with red accent would look really sweet on your car. http://www.raderwerks.com/ Good luck and congrats on the new Rabbit.

I think the Raderweks wheels are sweet... I'll probably go with one of their reps when it comes time to buy wheels. Hoping the Gallardo reps aren't as expensive as the real deals

He said under 400 per wheel. We sell these where I work in the right offset for the MK5, I have been trying to get someone to do a set because I think they would look good for the price.

Does this tire look deep to you at all? It might be the angle of the photo taken, but I'll probably consider this if it as deep as the site says (19x8.5). Also, do you think they have a 18" version? Or no
