Another opinion thread....

LMAO

Ok....I like input, but right now it's pretty much going to be whatever wheels/tires are the cheapest when I am ready to buy them. (Which if you don't know, I'm a rep. for Rimstogo.com and I get KILLER deals)

so...

The following chops are pics of the different wheels I'm considering...

Input is welcome











More to come...? Any suggestions? (I can get any wheel/tire combo for a GREAT DEAL....but I'm not getting Volk's, Spoon's, or Mugen's....not with how bad the CO roads are....)

With as dark as you windows are I think a dark set of wheels would look good. Of the ones listed I really think the ADR M-Sport (hyperblack) really set your car off!

the enkei, c2's look odd on hatchbacks, velox v-8 is pretty played out, adr m-sport is nice with its nice lip, motegi ffg seem kinda boxey and plain.. looks like volk te-37/rota grids.

i'd go for the enkei' if you can pull off the bronze

enkei looks really nice on the hatch. the gold/bronze look on white is gorgeous.

So how close WAS I?!?!?

The Chop....


The REAL THING....


Heh....I wasn't too far off! I had the wheels a bit too big...and the lighting a bit bright....but other than that, I think I came pretty damn close!


Just for good measure...

u would have to get the exel v-8 in gunmetal, same as the velox, if i had known about them before buying mine, those would be on my car, knockoff or not
