I like the Second one, but the chrome doesn't really look good on our Vics, so just get like...Silver or Gunmetal on the Second rim.

look for a rim that fits the design of our car... i cant stand boxy cars with rounded edges on the rims like mustangs ewww
so get something with thin spokes and sharp edges something that isnt real rounded or curvy

omg... please do me a favor.. just SAVE a lil money and something thats decent quality... buying.....what saves ur life when u slam on brakes etc? wheels/tires buying cheap as wheels is dumb and like ur just setting urself up for death.. and wheelmax sucks ***. they'll prolly sell u khumo 711's or some ****.. please just wait and get something like decent quality...

think about it like this....

rotten cheeseburger in garbage can.....49cents..

compared to a 1/4 pounder w/ cheese @ 2.49....

which would u go with... save the lil bit more and get something decent

^^^^ I kinda agree with him..if you drive like a gramma, just get those cheap rims/tires. If you drive like a teenager, save some more money and get better rims

I'd get a set of those (Rota Tarmac) and then some decent rubber. That should run you right about $1000.
