okey guys, I am planning to buy some rims for my blue vic couple, and I am kind of new to come across buying rims and tires throught the internet, so really need you guys to give me some direction here. The following are my final 3 choices:

1) Velox VX-8R --> Gunmetal

16" Wheel/Tire Pack (205/40/16) $699.00

2) Velox VX-8R --> Hyperblack
16" Wheel/Tire Pack (205/40/16) $749.00

3) Konig - Helium Silver
Light Weight Package - Silver
- Consisting of -
(4) 241930:Toyo - Proxes T1-S® 195/50R15 82V
(4) Konig - Helium Silver 15 x 6.5 4x100 40mm (Silver) US$ 861.63 (shpping included)

I am kind of confuse here, because I really do like the Velox VX-8R, but on the other hand i really like the Toyo Proxes T1-S tires ...

Another thing is that will the 16" rims and 205/40/16 tires and the 15" rims with 195/50R15 tires look good on our vic??? because I use the tire calculator, i see that they were smaller than the stock rims and tires, so will they look funny for our car?

Please let me know what do u guys think, if u saw any good site with cheaper price, feel free to provide the link. Thanks~~

on the blue vic i think the hyper black velox would look awesome .... nice clean look ... as for tires .... you can always call wheelsnext and ask for a tire upgrade .... if you want 16 inch wheels, the best tire size to get would be 205-50-16 .... also you can ask if they have the toyo proxes t1s in stock if not .... just buy the wheels and order the tires seperately .... there are numerous solutions to your problem .... a great site w/ great prices for toyo tires is Edge Racing

If you like graphite rims........then you should take a good look at these.....
I just purchased and installed a set of Konig Reasons with 215/45/17 tires. The tires are the Hankook Ventus H405. This set up is awsome......ride is super comfortable.......the rims are just AWSOME!! Check em out!

I agree.

Now that thats said. 195/50 is fuggin tiny. Thats like a 15" rubberband. You're gonna need a 195/60 or 205/55 for the speedo to workout. 205/40/16 is too small. Make use of the tire calculator, buy the rims and tires separately if you have to to get the right size.
Konig Heliums like to crack. I don't know if its just that they're brittle, or the spokes are too thin or what, but I've seen quite a few of them that potholes or track curbs crack spokes off.
