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

I would go gunmetal! Hey how much those wheels cost you? How much do they weigh? I think I might want them!

Engine mods-
RS Akimoto short (P.O.S.!) intake, Greddy Sport Cat-back ex.
Suspension-
Ground Control Coil-overs,KYB AGX shocks, RS Akimoto strut bar(front) TSW Trouphies 18x8,Nitto 555's.
Exterior-
Paint! C.F. Hood, Z3 fenders, Street Fighter Gen 2

Remember me?

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).

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.

Thats one hell of a deal. I want bad. I should almost just make a road trip down there and pick me up some 18's without tires until I can afford tires come spring.

youre gonna need 18s at least, 17s would look smallish on a venge.

18s are too big. if i was doing it for looks, ild keep my rims(which are 17s...). 18" sub zeros would still be a lil lighter, but that moves the rotational enertia further out, acting like a heavier wheel


and yes, the vx1's are for sale. I already have an interested party, but if your local(south or central florida) or wanna beat his offer, email me, hehe

Thanks partna

u reminded me of a few places to look thru

95 Avenger

i think those konig subzeros would look good in silver wit polished lip. i'd do that plus it's most likely the cheapest way to go.

thanks beefgg for the sig

theyre rota, not konig. plus theyre the same price regardless of color.

supposedly its the same manufactuere, prolly is

"real men don't ride stick"

oh my bad, didnt realize konig had the same rim. the konig ones weigh the exact same amount, so they prolly r the same wheel.

I picked up some 17 in. rota subzeros last september. They are definitely very light rims and they look great on an eclipse!
