Re: New rims for summer

Re: New rims for summer
try tirerack.com they have a visualizer of many rims..
one thing i noticed my friend got rims at this auto accessory/aftermarket shop on LI and he had a computer set up similar to Tire Rack's program with A LOT more rims.. so maybe if you venture out to some stores they could help you. but I like 2G with the rims you have ( the pic on the left) or a 5 straight spoke design but gl with your decision.

Re: New rims for summer
im my opinion, good brand, ugly rims, 18 is too big go for 17 max, rims that are too big cut you performance.

Re: New rims for summer
They kinda look like stock 2gb wheels lol. Try discounttiredirect.com. Got my wheels there, fast shipping, and they look great.

Re: New rims for summer
Silver or chrome. Silver would look hot, chrome would look nice, but there are just too many damn red cars now with black rims and a polished lip. I think half of the cars around here that had rims on them switched to black with a polished lip over the winter, because that's all I see now.

Re: New rims for summer
I'm a sucker for anything 5-spoke. Since you've already picked em out, I'd go for silver. Black w/ polished lip is way over-done these days, and shiny chrome often takes attention away from the shape of the rims. Silver or hyperblack is awesome imo.

Re: New rims for summer
blacks are my fav...
don't feel bad, I don't really like the look of my rims either... (gunmetal on a black car, not really good looking, but ok for traction)
