Nice Clean Car (****photochop on bottom of page 2***)

Today at college I saw one of the nicest and cleanest car I have ever saw. It was a 2k1 ex coupe and it was ralleye red. It had 18" rims like these.. ... and it was lowered on eibach sportlines. It had no spoiler and looked extremely smooth! I want my car to look like this guys! Next monday I will try to take some pics and post them up.

I have definetly decided I wanna get some new rims I cant decide between ones like he has or these.... .......

What do yall think?

dont get those knockoff exels, get Racing Harts. Racing Hart also makes those first ones. you're going to see a HUGE difference in weight between the cheaper brands and the more expensive.

Those RH evo knockoffs look good IMO (5 spoke). The RH evo aren't that much more expensive. I would say about 200$ more or so. I have RH Evos (T5) and I paid 1150$ with tires a couple of years ago. THey are probably cheaper now...

Wow, um okay. You can get lighter rims that look good--it's called forged. Just don't complain later when your car is slower than a geo metro

You deserve some reputation.
My knock-offs are 2lbs lighter than Motegi MR-7's.

Screw what people think,as long as you are happy with what you have go for it.
