Which colour would look best on a winning blue hatch. I'm personally leaning towards purple, jade, or orange...

Also I'm open to suggestions of other candy/anodized options that are relatively inexpensive (<1000)
Thanks!!
ps. I was really looking for a teal kinda colour (jade was the closest I could find other than bbs)
pps. I want 18 inch rims

i would think orange, white, or black. purple / jade or teal is hard to visualize but could look good. the DAI Mirage DW36 in bronze would look nice. also the Autobahn DW48 in black is nice.

Man I want every colour . Sucks... Whitby is a little far but I appreciate the offer... I'm still thinking it over.. so far a lot of people think the orange looks good... so maybe that but I was personally leaning towards the jade a lot or even the lime..
Why don't you pick yourself

lol +1!
Gotta go with whatever you personally like the most. Specially the route you're going (ie a bright, vibrant color that might be hard to live with after if it wasn't what you really wanted to begin with).

Just out of curiousity matt do you run spacers with yours or no? I have ARP studs and spacers but my winter wheels were low offset... was curious with a +45 wheel if ten mm spacers would be overkill..

Nice, can't wait to see them. As long as they aren't the same colour as my wheels...........
Could get awkward...

You mean high offset.. +45 with a 10mm depends on your tires, and wheel width.
As for colour choice, none.
I'd go with hypersilver or white (if that lip is atleast 2 inches deep :) )

No I think I meant low offset. I meant to say that I couldn't put the spacers and studs on this winter because I have +40 offset on them and they are already rubbing. I'm getting my fenders rolled and when I go to the +45 dai wheels (8 inch width) with 225/40/18

my setup was as follows, 17x7.5 +45 with 5mm spacer and 205/40R17, i ran 215/45R17 for a season but then i went lower and had to drop tire size,
you can realistically make anything fit its all in how much you want to modify, how much camber you wanna run, tire size, spacer etc
the only time i was rubbing was when i had a 45 series on and was tucking tire, it would touch fender when i went lock to lock

Also considering 17" Candy's (galaxy black) for my 2010 celestial blue hatch. Wifey put her foot down with some guidelines - can't be ricey and no flashiness! :chuckle I wanted white, but alas. The black seems to look decent. I like the 5 spoke design. If anyone can recommend some other good 5 spoke models would be great.
Edit - below is crude photoshopping
