Re: Opinion and help please (RIMS)

as long as you have a shiny, chromed out lip, get whatever color u want. Actually, if you have painted rotors/calipers with black rims and a chrome lip, the wheels look amazing when the car is moving. very Batman-ish.

Re: Opinion and help please (RIMS)

the whole rim is gunmetal color with chrome lip.. the main reason i am planning to buy these rims is because the price for these 18" rims with nitta low profile tires balancing and alingment included is 500 dollars. i thought it is a good deal caz i think i cannot get other good rims for this price. but i posted this thread in 2 forums and almost 90% of the guys dont like the rims

Same here. White wheel look the best on a black car IMO

Re: Opinion and help please (RIMS)

personally i like Chrome on a black car! either that or a hyper-black with a polished lip, not a fan of gunmetal or polished aluminum finish

like the wheels on my RST... i like them but i cant find a hyper black or a chrome wheel that weighs less and actually looks good on my car! i mean they look pretty good for a stock rim, and i like the stock look the best!

I think it would be too basic looking without that chrome lip. It's eyecatching! I likeum.

If your money and your car. Do what you want to do with it. Just you have to go with what you have planned for it. But I agree with everyone else that a Polished lip looks tight...

You can search google for something like "preview car rims" or something and they have sites that you can see what they look like on different cars.

If your on a tight Budget you might want to look at www.Wheelmax.com They have alot of wheel and tire packages for a set of 18's for under 900.00 and they have free shipping on everything.
