Default My new 18" OEM Spider 2006 Rims








What does everyone think of the new 2006 18" optional rims? I just got these. The car is dirty, and I am putting different center caps.

I also have a brand new set of 18" l-sportline


I think I am going to sell them. I think I like the oem 18" better. What do you guys think?


These are the rims I had last summer. 18" Work Rezax. I think I am selling these also.
Anyone let me know if you are interested.
$900.00 for the l-sportline
best offer for the works

Spider looks nice on the 2nd-Gen. How is the Spider compares to Work Rezax? L-sportline also looks great on a GS.

The work rims never drove to well. I bought the centering rings for them and that helped a little but not that much. These 18" oem drive just as good as my 16". No loss of ride quality.
The lsportline are nice but I thought it was a little to much chrome. I was trying to get these dope AutoCouture rims but it never happened.

In Chicago you can not have ANY tint on the front windows. Now even a light tint. I use to always do limo in the back at the lightest in the front. Still got me pulled over many times.
It SUCKS

That really sucks. I like the works you had on best but since you had problems with them I vote for the spider wheels. you shouldnt have a problem selling the Lsportlines or the Works

Very nice. I suggest a spacer on the rear rims though to push them out a bit - it will improve the look a lot. Is your car lowered a bit? Looks like it is.

the G-Spider rims look great. quick question about your clear trunk lights, did you ended up putting led blubs into them?
