Need opinions on some rims

Need advice on some rims for a P11. How does this look? I somewhat think that it's a little bling-bling but I want all your opinions.

Most people on this board don't like chrome, including myself. It's been said before, it's all a matter of personal choice. There's many types of rims out there - some of which have been posted in different threads. Volks, BSA, Team Dynamics, ATA .. etc etc. What color is your ride? Usually it's good to pick up rims that will reflect your ride, ie: you wouldn't put white rims on a silver car .

No need to beat around the bush.....we're all friends here, better make sure they dont make the wrong choice
The fact that i like tuner (non-chrome) rims more has nothing to do with the fact that that is an ugly rim. First, what is up with that design? Its too much, there's way too much going on......then, whats with the blue neon crap? Seriously, that rim looks like shit. (on a side note, what was that guy thinking, i mean a red car with blue highlights, jeez.....)
That aint no bling bling, more like......bling barf......... :apuke:

fugly rims

those have to be some of the most hideous rims i've ever seen.

the g20 is a classier looking car than other imports (hondas). combat/samurai/ninja kits that make your car look like a ravenous carnivore do not belong on g20s. the g20's design doesn't have many curves to it so neither should the mods.

organic looking rims, ie rounded and bulbous looking don't belong on the g.

if the rim resembles a ninja death star or some other killing device from a spy movie it doesn't belong on a g.

if it looks like it can slice vegetables in a millisecond-don't put it on your car.

nor should any rim that looks like a lawn ornament for catching wind or a those star shaped metallic twirlers ever be allowed to taint the clean lines of a g.

back to those puke inducing rims.

those garish rims belong a low rider or on a vehicle from mad max.

what's with the blue? it's not even centered!

the double star adds nothing but ugly repetition.

every day i have to drive by a p10 with wide little tires and there's not a day i don't want to slash the tires and mash those hideous rims with a 10 lb maul.

seriously, some of the socal posters might key your car if you rolled on those rims.

if you want some nice rims, look at http://www.aktusa.com

They would be the most butt ugly rims i have ever seen.

I'm not a chrome fan myself.....just a personal choice.

I beleive a nice set of 17-18" alloys suits the Primera/G20 best.

No, man, no no no no no......

I've always said that everyone has a right to their opinion, but for the love of God! No offense, but I can't understand those wheels!

I'm an alloy guy myself, but I have been known to find some chrome attractive. Depends mainly on the size, and color of the car.

What size are those? I go for simple stuff; for instance, I love the Momo GT2 Tuning rims for my vehicle, and I'm trying to find out if they will fit my car (1997 Japan Primera), and if they are available in 16"s. (The roads down here are terrible!). But everyone has their opinion.

I think primera_gte summed it all up pretty well....

But again, at the end of the day, it's what eases your mind and tickles your fancy. My advise, however - Get rid of those wheels! (The neon as well).

god help you if those rims ever soiled the appearance of a g.

seriously though, a nice set of imported japanese rims might set you apart from the norm. if you want a different look i suggest you get some nice tuner rims and have them painted by a good bodyshop. i've seen a yellow miata with 5zigen NR1 becketts on it that have been painted with a three tone metallic/iridescent paint. blue, purple, and dark purple depending on the angle and sunlight.

Honda G20?????

Please DO NOT buy those rims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope I'm not too late. Maybe on a Honda Civic :hehehe: :evillaugh
Or buy the rims and a Honda/Civic emblem! Are those the new snap on hub cap rims?!
Just kiddin' people are giving you good advice-take it. Don't go too flashy (Bling Bling) You don't gotta be iced out to get attention. Good taste gets better attention and respect. When I see people with rims like that I point and laugh. But, to each his own, do what makes you happy:alien:
