64411, Time for new rims, need advice.
Posted by jdpilot, Jan-04-04 07:06 AM
I have been rockin' the 16 inchers below (I know, I know) for 6 years. I want something new and BIGGER!!!! I am an auto so I am already slow as sin. Yet I want some show flava. 18s I feel may be too big?? What do you think about 17s?? I am a big 5 star fan. What do you think about these;



In general what are your opinions on what I should go with in style and size?? The only other exterior mod coming may be an rmdsm lip. Thanks.

i have gunmetal 17s. interms of a compromise between looks and speed, 17s are probable the best; i am not sure if wheelmax is the place cause they're pretty cheap, but as a trade off for a cheap price, then wieght becomes a huge factor. i got my 17s for 860, shipped but they weight 38lbs!!! then again, stock 16 are also 38lbs. but yeah, i like the 5 spoke design as well since it reminds me of the stock 16s, and they are a great thing to show off the larger brkes with drilled rotors imo!

if you don't get the 18s ur goin to kick urself trust me. get something with a polished lip and a gunmetal finish. also a deep dish looks awesome with that whole combo.

if you are looking for true show flava, you might even want to look into 19s. 18s look really good, while 17s are on the small side when you are only interested in show.
