Velox VX-K Gunmetal 17x7.5 rapped in 215/45/17 Kumho tires.

Those are pretty good and different. I like the VX8s a little better though.

WTF? wouldn't that just be wierd? How would that affect the performance? I don't think that both of those styles of rims would weigh the exact same amount.

the rims have the same offset, and same weight. So it doesn't affect driving at all.
They're made by the same company and they have about the same weight.
My car drives fine, doesn't drive crooked or nething.
I like it when people say "didn't you have them black/white rims?"

CXHatchback cool rims. Those are the limited edition ones right?

PS. What does your front plate say? Just curious. I need to figure out what I want as a front plate or if I should get one at all. I was thinking about buying an authentic Japanese plate

Yup. Supposedly $240 a piece retail, but I see 'em all over for half that.

i think your car would look better with silver color rims. it would match a lot better with your silver color car and chrome altezzas, get black or gunmetal if you're planning on getting a carbon fiber hood.

ps, i value your message, so please make your signature pictures smaller cause it's annoying to scroll to the right to see the rest of your messages

Funny thing about the chrome altezza's. I'm going to get rid of them and replace them with Carbon Fiber ones.

Then i'm gonna get a carbon fiber trunk.
