#6453, "Want your opinions on these rims..."




          

Ok, im likely getting new rims. I want something lighter than the rims i have now. I found these for a good price, they are Racing Hart knock-offs (i think my vx1's look better, but like i said, i just want somethign a little ligher):



Ok, Black? Gun Metal? or silver w/ polished lip? silver is the lowest for me, i want something different than what i have, ya know..but do i go all out with the black, or play the middle ground w/ the gun metal?

heres an idea of what my car would look like w/ black rims:



i like black rims on cars, but im wondering how gunmetal would look on a grey car...itll either look really good (kinda like the white on white) or be to much grey..

what do u guys think?

oh, and ill be sticking w/ 17's too

Hey Ryan, I would go with gunmetal or silver (definitely not black though). I think gunmetal would match your car, but if you want it to stand out a bit more, go with silver. Also, who makes that body kit now? I remember you were one of the first to have it I think. We just put that kit on a customer's wrecked avenger a month ago...

White on white does look good dosen't it

Anyways, I like the idea of gunmetal rims on your ride. I think it will look even better.

Vectorracing_B : the 17's weigh 17lbs, the 18s weigh 18lbs. Theres a group buy for on groupbuycenter.com right now. the 17s are like 550 or 900 w/ tires


eclipse804 : Yea, i was the 1st 95-96 A/S with the kit, and like the 3rd A/S to have it period. Have had it for 3 years now, now its as common in the A/S scene as the blitz kit is in the E/T scene . TC Spoilers makes the kit. they released a TC2 kit late last year, and they are releasing a Blitz kit in 2 weeks. thanks for the opinions, they surprised me, i thought a lot more poeple would liek the black


Logic3 : yea, w. on w. looks great, your car is a perfect example


PowerEclipses : Thanks man. Im guessing either you dont like VX1's or you think i rock 14's tho, hehe.



Thanks for the replies so far, keep em coming

Theyve been surprising so far, i really thought the black would be more popular. Anyone have any pics of gunmetal rims on a grey car? ive been doing the satin finish since 98, i think i want something new, but i havent seen GM on a Grey car yet...

UH.... GUNMETAL? what is that? NOT!

dude, definately go with the gunmetal!! Black looks "ok", but your car is screamin for the gunmetal!

I always thought the avenger was a phat car for a dodge(excluding the viper). But you've changed my mind. Geez, what a devastating bodykit!
And the color of the car is maxed. this is y gunmetal = happiness(in your case).

K spec

OMG 500 bucks for 17" white sub zeros without tires. If only I had NOT bought this set of Kumho tires that will last quite a long time from seeing user reviews...I need some rims real bad.
