Rims/Tires
Alright, I think I've made up my mind on my rims I'm going to get. Im thinking the Racing Hart C2's. They are going on a 2002 Silver EX Coupe. If anyone has a picture of them on a silver car, i'd appreciate it. They are $1199 on sale at Wheelmax.
Are they any concerns I should have about buying my rims? My mom is like all worried about but just said, its your money and your car, but if anything happens your screwed (basically). I mean, is there really anything that can go wrong with putting new rims on my car? She concerned about warranty (lol), what could go wrong, anything that could happen, etc.
Also, my allignment will not be then messed up will it? I know the tires come balanced but just making sure the allignment wont mess up...
I've searched and read about every post on rims and stuff so you have any comments are anything that can help me. Let me know. Thanks

first all, nice choice....theres nothing wrong with aftermarket rims...but ur ride might be lil bumpy and eventually u'll drive more careful....especially when u turn and park, u dont want to curb ur rims....thats pretty much it...but if u look at the bright side, ur car=hot
Your warranty will most likely not be effected unless the Dealership is able to trace the cause of a problem back to your rims, like if your windheild cracks they can't say its not covered because you have different rims. Your alignment is fine unless you lower the car, if its not then leave it alone. Everything should be simple, jack the car up bolt on the rims, check the tightness of the lugs after the first 25 miles, and you're done!

In most cases you probably wont need alignment. After you get rims you're going to want a drop (I know you will) haha. Then you'll have to get an alignment. If anything, rims will make your car better. Just tell your mom that rims = fatter tires = more traction = safety. Ahh, I love my mommy!! haha

Very nice selection, I have 215/45/17 I am running now with Kumho 712's I have more road noise then stock but its all right the look is awesome. The bigger tire you got will protect your rims, beter ride and fill that gap, I have no drop and it still looks good.
