Would these rims look right on my car

So here's my car:


I can get these rims with tires for $250. I was wondering if it will look good or not. I was planning on painting them gunmetal if I got them.

Re: Would these rims look right on my car

i think they'd look alright, for 250.
Ultimately it's your car, if you like them, get them. If not, don't.

Re: Would these rims look right on my car

Your car looks good right now. IMO the rims for $250 would make it's appeal go down. They wont look good.

Re: Would these rims look right on my car

Here's a rough chop. I think they look pretty fly. I'd almost consider doing them white, if it would go with your theme at all. I was planning on darkening them up a hair, but I kinda like it.

I don't know, I'm a sucker for sexy white wheels.

Those look like Racing Hart wheels, or a knockoff thereof.

Re: Would these rims look right on my car

If your sick of looking at your hubcaps take them off. You would be surprised how many people cant stand it and if your stock rims arent rusted, it would look pretty good for the mean time. I would pick Stock rims over hubcaps after a while. Just a thought. It may seem like what the hell am I doing but you have the dark .. blackish theme going on, give it a try its somthing new. Save up another 500 bucks and get some better rims. For mean time look at like www.wheelsnext.com

Re: Would these rims look right on my car

You're looking at 1998 stylin right there. Pass on them, find something thats a bit less junky looking, and a bit more up to date.
The second set is a slightly better option, but neither really do it for me.

Re: Would these rims look right on my car

I would wait and save up for some better ones. I'm riding on hubcaps right now too, and I'm sick of them, lol. But I've been making payments on the perfect set of rims and tires (for me). I could have gotten some for cheap, but I held it off til I found the ones that called my name.
