Decided on rims, what you think...

after much back and forth going, and contecting different people, i finally decided on a rim and found somewhere i can actually get it, the manufacturer. i am still waiting on information regarding one thing, but either way, i will be getting these wheels. i know not a lot of you like chrome, but i really like these wheels, and am gonna try to get them from the manufacturer in anodized black, but if not then it'll be chrome. i know its not good for the go, but i think it'll be sweet on my show setup, at least show setup for now. plus, no one has them, so it'll be different. will i have any clearance issues that i may need to address when my car is getting the body work done (ie roll fenders)? they are 18X8. i am getting fenders put on (m3 roadster fenders) and dropping it on tein coils and tein ss springs. says it'll drop it 1.3 front and 1.4 rear. and im getting camber correction put on as well. will i need to roll the fenders or not. i know someone her has 19 and i think they are 8.5 side, and they had to roll the fenders slightly, so i figured i'd check since i am having body work done.

thats why im trying to get them in anodized black. if not, im still getting these rims. it sounds funny, but i think they will pull the overall look together nicely

Although my signature says otherwise, I don't mind chrome wheels. Make sure you know the proper offset for those whells too before you buy them because that 8" width is going to be a tight fit with out any body modifications. Here is a pic of my 7th gen with a set of 18X7 Niche Spitfire rims with Nitto NT-450 215/35-18 tires.

im not offended, i think it is stupid for you to say something, without reading about why someone is getting a certain part, or knowing why they are choosing the part they choose, and how it contributes to the overall look of their vehicle. course, you'll probably never build a show car anyway, so why am i concerned with your opinion. seems like the only thing you want to do is flame on people's parts. is it that you are jealous cause all you have is a camber kit, springs, rims, and intake, and fosgate ice? why all the pent up frustration?

btw, your rims are only available in polished and chrome finish, at least thats all that the manufacturer has on their website. so whats the difference in my rims, and your rims? other than the brand, and style?

6 months ago? Sheeit nah, dawg. Fran Drescher just started doing it on those lame commercials that make me want to kill her...I mean still...like renewed hatred. Anyway..it actually went out of style about 3 years ago. White folks just can't let it go though.

Oh yeah I forgot to post about the rims. I think those are tight as hell. I would get them for my ride if I didn't already have my Rated-Rs.

in my opinion, chrome rims only look good from 19" and up. 18" maybe...might let it slide, but depends on what car it's on.
