Re: Nice Rims?

Have you checked ebay? They have some nice sets that actually go for a decent price on there sometimes.

Re: Nice Rims?

Black rims are getting soooooooooo over-played these days it's not even funny...regardless if it looks "hot" or not...you'll get sick of 'em within a year or so just because everyone else is going with black rims.....what color car is yours? Gold wheels FTMFGDW

Re: Nice Rims?

Yea i have looked a little, but in my opinion rims are one of those things that just seem to be a little sketchy to me on e-bay. I guess i just dont want to end up spending money and getting a shitty set from someone i dont even know, but im sure that they have some from company sellers too huh? I guess ill look into it a little further.... Anyone have any opinions on what size looks the best on my eclipse? I plan an adding a bodykit some time in the future and im not sure how much i would want to lower it, if i would even want to, but i just figured some input would be usefull in the future.

Re: Nice Rims?

The car is a darker tint of red, its not a bad color, but i was really looking to change it to lighter blue, i saw an eclipse once that color and it was just beautiful.....but yea i dont know i really like black and blue together, and im really not a fan of the color gold, sorry, but yea... what does everyone else think? Gunmetal? Carbon fiber? JUST NOT CHROME! I WILL NEVER OWN CHROME RIMS, EVERYONE HAS CHROME RIMS!

Re: Nice Rims?

I personally dont like black rims on lighter cars. And yes, Garret, black rims are HOT... especially on a black car. Mmmmm, thats what I would do if I had shit tons of money... I'd buy a black Evo and a black 300C and throw some black 18s on the evo and some black fuckin 24's on the 300C . But anyway, check ebay. I got my 17" ADR Flite 5's on ebay and Toyo Proxes 4 tires from somewhere else, at my door for $600.

Re: Nice Rims?

Call me crazy, but I love the stock 16 2g gst rims with the 5 star pattern. If I could get rid of those stupid lookin 17 inch gsx rims for a pair of chrome gst's, I'd do it in a heart beat.
