Default Wheel Dilemma

Gonna get a new set of wheels for my SC... FINALLY!


Thinking about going w/ the 18" HP EVO + 38 offset, staggered 8's and 9's.

Current color stock jade green, wanna change to either platinum silver, or DPW, or some other light color.

I like dark colors, but what a PITMFA to clean

Can't decide on finish though-- Hypersilver light or Hypersilver dark.

Know the lighter ones will look good, but think I wanna go the darker route

... seems to be a little more classy? (going more for luxury look)
Not sure cause haven't seen them in person, or posted in here.


suggestions?

imo, dark will compliment a dark color on the car and same goes for light. having these rims before, i can tell you they look more racer than luxury, but that aint a bad thing. good luck.

I agree. Look at OLT's sig. Those style wheels look amazing in the lighter color on a dark car.

The HP Evo's looks real nice, seems to be a decent wheel too. Personally I'd save up for something that can be customised to your tastes (offsets etc etc) but if you do go for the HP's I reckon the silver version would suit more (can see the details better)... that hyper silver colour makes them look... dirty

OK OK Ok, JEEZ, so why don't you just beat me w/ a stick already, GAAAA!

/jk

Yeah, I knew that the lighter ones already looked killer, just wanted to test the waters w/ something a lil different.

Didn't really want to order them and suffer a 20% restocking fee (+ 2 way shipping) if I didnt like 'em.

I think they'll do me good for now.

In the future... who knows!

Soooo, I'm going w/ the light ones.

OH... and YES, that is my final anwser!

BTW... Props to O.L.T. on the sweet ace car!
