Default How bout this rim

im not going to be able to get volks or 5zigens or tenzos or the other high dollar rims either right now but i got to get the stockers off i found this rim what you guys think about it. Is it too much black or i am getting closer to the look. I think they look good but need to see next to the car to be sure thankls tom i am going to lower it 1 or 2 ' with springs n shocks

Its all up to you mang. I personally like xxr because they were cheaper for me and i dont really care what some guys think as long as the putang is sitting in my car. But at the end its all about YOU! i think if those rims are big and offset is good theyd look good.

They look pretty good...

As far as "expensive" wheels, they're cool and I like them and all... but I'm not going to spend more on wheels than I did for the car.

tenzos are not in the same category as 5zigens.
5Zigens are not in the same category as Volk. ...in terms of price, or quality.


not feeling the Konigs either.

go on zilvia.net and look through their wheel f/s section. the wheel sizes, offsets and pricing isnt bad and they're in good condition. i've seen a few pairs i wanted but just havent pulled the trigger yet

Those aren't horrible. Size and offset will be the determining factor.

I think buying super expensive wheels can be a waste.

you could always strip the paint off and polish the wheel if you dont like the black

Default Rims

Thanks For feedback I went to look at the konigs. They are 18'x8. With 42 offset The lip is black and it might be too much black but that's a good idea
about maybe stripping the paint on the lip and polishing it. I may just wait I'm really confused but don't like rockin the stockers
I do like the rota torque but I've heard they r not very strong tend to break easily.

Size and offset is "normal"... I would try and find something wider and/or with a lower offset. Those wheels will be sunken in, making it look like you're rockin' a wide body on stock wheels.

How much do you care about being flush? And are you ok with rolling/pulling your fenders?
