Default Thoughts on Rims
Just wondering hat you guys think about 2 different pairs of rims on a car. For example like a 5-spoke rim in the front and a mesh rim in the back. I would also like to know what you guys think about having a smaller rim in the front and a bigger rim in the back like the GT500 has. Something like 17s with a 45 wall in the front and 18s with a 35 wall in the back. If you guys can find any pictures that would be great. Just wondering if it'll look good on our cars. Thanks in advance.

search for some pics. i always thought the 2 different set of rims are reserved for peopel who are drifting / dragging and go through tires like no other.

otherwise, it looks as if you are just throwing any parts you have on your car.

I think both set ups would be mainly for track use or just high performance, but on a sedan i think it looks a lil weird.
