Default Help!

Damnit! lol, One of these days, i'll get it right! Alright, the Giovanna Attack, no good. I am a chrome person, i'm personally not into the racing wheels. I am looking for a good compnay, that sells quality chrome wheels. Any suggestions? I'm looking to buy real soon!

Few questions:

1. What style of wheel do you want? 5 spoke, 6spoke, mesh, flat face

2. Staggered or not staggered? (not to insult you, but staggered is when the rear wheel is wider with the deep dish look)

3. Price range (this one is important)

Dude giovannas are good man. Some people call them rip offs, which may be true but that dont make them not good. If you dont have 5-6gs to dump into wheels then get what you feel is hot. If you like them giovannas then get them! I've seen them on two different GS's and they look decent.

Alright, i am looking for something with a dish, sorta like the giovanna's i was looking at, staggered or not, doesn't really matter to be honest, and definately less than 4k a set. i got a lil money to spend, but i'm not trying to go all out, and spend that kinda money right now on a set of rims. i got other mods that i'd like to do. the rims i have now, are flat faced, and are ok, but i want something with a dish, 5 or 6 spoke is fine.

Mike:
i haven't completely cancelled out the Giovanna's. i personally love that rim, but i'm also willing to weigh out all my options. if there is something better, then i would prefer that. but i personally love giovanna's wheels, rip off or not.

Personally, I love the Gio Attacks, of course, I'm kinda biased....

On a side note, damn my car was a complete 4x4!!!!





Here's some full views of the attacks:








Man I do love those wheels....look clean and classy....


By the way, I only paid 2800 with tires for my gio's and falkens at superbuytires.com.....

I agree blue, i love the gio attack's too. have for a long time. made the mistake of not buying them when i had the chance, but i may be gettin it now, if DGot doesn't find anything in my criteria that's better! 2800 also sounds quite nice!!!
