Need some ideas for rims.

Anybody got any ideas for some rims which will look good on a convertible with a tan top. I was thinking of SS rims, but the silver isn't gonna work with the tan top, and the chrome will probably be too much. What about polished SS rims with the center powdercoated red with the lip left polished? Any ideas or pics. I want to keep the tan top, but it's gonna be hard to work with.

91DropTopTA,

What kind of rims do you have on your car now? Have you considered 16x8 gold GTA rims? If you don't have em currently, I recommend em, 'cause they're a perfect match and (a correct set offset-wise) are specifically designed to work with your car's handling characteristics. what d'ya say?

I agree, you're probably going to have to go with something in the gold-colored family (and I mean gold-"colored", not actual gold).

Cross-lace rims would look good...

What I've got now is the gold crossed lace rims from the factory. They look good and I have ws6 center caps, but I'm trying to find something which will look good with my tan top and emblems. I'm looking to upsize to about 17x8.5 at least. I figured maybe someone had some ideas. Haven't seen many red ta's with tan tops with aftermarket rims posted.
