Re: Which Rims?

Is your car lowered at all? And how big do you want to go?

Re: Which Rims?

polls up of some ideas. car isnt lowered now. 17s are probably what ill go with. and 1400 for volks is too much for a 17year old

Re: Which Rims?

screw volks. with 1400 you can get some rota wheels, tires, full painted lip kit and a drop. im sure everyone will be looking at the car with the rota wheels rather than this guy with a stock looking civic with volks. lol.

the first 2 rims you posted and the ICWs the other guy posted can be bought at pepboys. i dont think you want anyone to even think that you bought your rims from pepboys... lol

i vote for the last wheel btw..

Re: Which Rims?

I believe the full royal sports bronze is a little darker and has more of a gloss than the regular bronze...looks better imo

the first 2 wheels in the poll are classic rice wheels in my eyes

Re: Which Rims?

I voted for the last one, the bronzes because I'm into that color right now.

Wheels are wheels no matter what you choose, they all do the same thing. The thing that people forget is that the brands like work and volk are manufacturing their wheels with different methods then companies like, say rota for example.

Tire rack has a good article on the differences between these.
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/....jsp?techid=90

If you're just going to cruise around all day and hang out with friends, ANY wheel manufacturer will suffice.

If you seriously plan on going to the auto cross every weekend and dragging every other weekend. I would look into getting something better then Cheap o type wheels. This doesn't mean that you have to spend your life savings on a set of wheels, just look around for good deals, they're out there.

Me? I won't be buying rotas, or anything like that. Because it's a pride issue. I want to be proud of the wheels I own, instead of saying "yeah these are just my cheap made in taiwan wheels.

Re: Which Rims?

i almost bought rims from wheelmax till l looked into the company and found out there constantly getting sued from rims falling apart and people getting hurt stay away from that company. check out wheelfire.com or wheelsnext.com wheelfire.com has a cool function to see rims on your car in 3D.

Re: Which Rims?

go with the bronze enkei's, they look sexy on a black car, but if you have a black and red theme then go with the konig's, i just think if your theme is black and red the konig's might overdo it, the bronze will help break it up a bit and look good at the same time...imo
