Re: Getting new Rims (HELP)!

1g or 2g? you should put this information in your sig
(make, model, year, tranny, mods)

i've seen some red 2g's with gunmetal wheels and it looks sick, as long as you get a nice style wheel.

I'd go white on red, my friends Del Sol was red with white rims, it was sexy.

Re: Getting new Rims (HELP)!

i think white rims look cheesy and cheap, on any car, but that's just my opinion. i believe there was someone on here that had gunmetal rims on a red eclipse, can't remember the name but i'll try look.

edit: alright, i couldn't find the picture i was looking for, but here's some 2g's with some gunmetal rims.

Re: Getting new Rims (HELP)!

I personally like the white rims on a red car. white on white looks nasty. But the red and white is nice.

The gunmetal with the lip looks nice too. I do like mine though. Light Gunmetal with no lip. But then again, the car is black.

Since i don't have my Spyder anymore, it's safe to advise you to get a set of the rims i had on my Spyder. I don't have to worry about anyone copying me, anymore, lol!
They are 18" Majestic 997's. Silver with a Machined Lip. Tire size i used was 225/40/18's.






I miss my Spyder, now... So beautiful...
