Help with new rims.

TO make a long story short my 98 sl rims are screwed up and i have to get new ones. I was thinking about putting Enkei Arashi's on it but i think it might look goofy heres a pic.

Do you think those would look good or bad? Feel free to give me some other options also thanks guys.

They definately look unique. I'm a fan of the BBS wishbone type rims or the 5 Zigen fN01R-C in gunmetal for both, what color car do you have? That greatly affects my opinion on wheel choice.

they should look good, check out www.rimstop.com (http://www.rimstop.com) and they might have those rims on there so u can look at those rims on ur car

its red by the way thanks for pointing that out thourun.

look at it this way.... ur not gonna buy a set of rims based on what i think or anyone else in the end if u dont like um then whats the point...those rims r tight in my opinion... but its all up 2 u

If its a red car scratch the darker 5 spoke designes like the 5 zigen FN01R-Cs, on a lighter colored car (especially red) I like lighter wheels, maybe even chrome, so the ones you have picked out should look good if you want to go by my taste. When it comes to chrome rims and lighter colored wheels I actually realy like the stock 5 spoke ones like I have (pictured below), but the colors I like are green, black, and grey, grey being my favorite which is too bad because its wicked rare and only came on the first gens I believe.

i saw a grey one the other day and it was 2nd gen. The first one i have ever seen though. It was sorta crazy.

I need some rims too 3kgt98 :(. But i have no knowledge of rims. What brands should i be looking at? I dont want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on rims. I currently have 17's. Anyone have any suggestions? My car is being repainted Zurich White Pearl Metallic. I think i might go for some gunmetal rims.

If your looking int gunmetal check out the FN01R-C line, heres what they look like on my favorite colored car. Ignore the stealth lol, I kingd of stole a guy's sig pic from 3SI. I think it looks awsome on a first gen grey.

I personally hate rims that have a "dirrection" to them, the one side is going forward and the other is backwards. EWWW

If all of you want to find rims for you cars go to www.tires.com (http://) or www.tirerack.com (http://www.tirerack.com). they will be your best bet.

for rims i am getting the Konig troubles which are five spoke but the space is huge so when i get my big brake kit it will look hot and i like darker rims so i am getting the graphite colored ones.. also i am getting a custom gray paint job it's like a matallic smoke color its pretty hot i'll update you with pics when its all done.. :grinno: :iceslolan :grinno:

You know...I have a red vr4 and those gunmetal 5zigens are what I want...but I know what you are talking about with it not looking the best...but screw it. When I finally have the money for the rims...maybe I'll have the money for a new paintjob (silver is now what I'm thinking)

The gunmetal 5 Zigens are real popular it seems since they look awsome on any 3000GT, I just think they look extra special on the grey, black, green, blue, and burgendy in decending order of looks. Also might want to look into the Enkei RPM2, they look allmost as good as some of my favorite BBS wheels but at a fraction of the price. And here they are along with specs.
