Chrome/silver. I love my stock snowflake rims. They look like new too, even after 130,000 miles. When clean, they shimmer in the sunlight. :D

I hate my hubcaps... wich of these do you guys think will look nicer on a salsa red. I kinda want to do everything salsa red and black since i have some interior parts painted black already and i ordered the diamonds with the black inner frame.

I say if you don't already have your car lowered to do that before buying rims... trust me, it'll improve the looks of you car much more than just slapping new wheels on with a 4x4 stance.

If I was to pic the wheels though, eithe 1 or 3. The second one with the deep dish look is to over the top for a Neon. The 4th is alright but to many sharp edges on a car that doesn't have any which is kinda true for #1 also. #5... I dunno, that style with the spokes coming flush out to the edge just doesn't look good IMO and overplayed on cars anymore.

With a Salsa Red Neon, I would definitely go with chrome. It would make the car really stand out. You might also wanna tint the windows. There's a Neon around here that rides around like that and it looks damn good.
