Which ones should I get?
I am thinking of upgrading to 18" or 19" chrome rims for this spring. I know 19" chromes will be a first on this site. I don't know if 19"s will rub, but I know I'll probably have to get better brakes if I want to stop when I'm on the highway. I've got two rims that I am seriously thinking of getting. Which one should I get?
Lexani Marqi 18x8, roughly $725(CDN) per rim but I'll probably buy for less.
Konig Prophet 19x8, $637.48(CDN) per rim at TIRES.COM.
$1150 per rim is the absolute highest I'm spending on rims plus another $1150 on rubber.
$5750 is what I'm looking to spend in total, rims/rubber. I came into some money today so now it's time to start spending!

Rep Power: 0 I already have 17" chromes which will be sold if I upgrade. I don't really care about body kits and intakes and all that other stuff that might add another 20 or 30 hp which I don't need anyhow. Civics are slow, especially a sedan(what I have) so I figured why not just make it slower with huge chrome wheels. Besides, when you got 19" chrome you don't want to drive fast, you drive slower so you can show off them rims. Bling Bling! hehahahe

Come on, some of those Volk rims look worthless! There is on set of Rays rims that I dig...the C5's are nice but they're not shiny enough! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
Summer rims for me must be HIGHLYreflective!

Rep Power: 0 b18b are you some kind of racist? Black washed? Why, because I want to get 19" chromes? PLEEEAAAASE! I'm proud to be Chinese. I don't care what anybody says, I like chromes because it's my persanal preference. Has nothing to do with wanting to be black although a lot of black people like chrome rims too.

I never said Volk rims were worthless...I said that some of them look(the spoke pattern/finish) worthless. You're obviously a really angry person that can't really be reasoned with so I'm not even going to waste any more time replying to your silly responses.
If there was ever a disgrace to Asian people it's you. It's racist people like you that this world can do without. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]
