18299, Rims and Tint
Posted by 99Eclipse, Mar-27-02 02:45 PM
Ok I posted this in the pits but this really is a better section to ask this.. I have a silver 99 Eclipse GS w/ black leather interior, I love the way the Konig Verdicts look on our cars so im going with a set of 18x8s but what finish should I get Silver or Opal? heres a pic of them both http://konigwheels.com/catalog_product_details.cfm?CategoryID=1&ss_id=10&ss_categoryName=Verdict also what do you think would look better mirror tint or limo?

i think i would go with the opal on a silver car. my car is white so i went with the silver, but you want the color a little off from the body. also 18x8s look so much better on these cars. i will never forget the first day i say my baby with bigger feet! i was so proud!

anyway, it will look good either way.

I'm not totally positive, but I believe I have a 5% tent job. My sig isn't the greatest pic but it can give you the idea. The dark color looks awesome on silver, and personally I think that mirror would be too overboard on a silver car.

I would go opal as well

I use to like the colors that contrast but now im gonna change mine. Mine now is a black eclipse with silver rims and the crome altezza's. So i have a black and silver theme going on. But now im gonna get my rims coated Black and get the cf altezzas and a cf hood. im going for all black look.

i went with an off brand wheel. made by primax. about $150 a wheel for 18". then i put Nitto NT555s on em which are great tires! Anyway, I'm happy with except for 2 days after i put em on i chipped one up on a damn pot hole! i really need to replace it one of these days.

mirror tint is illegal and a half :P i'd go with limo, it looks aggressive and clean at the same time.
