Yeah bronze seems really nice, thanks for the input.
Wow I never heard of this rims. Are they good branded rims?
I wonder if I tint my window 35% and change the headlight to black housing, will it be better to go with black rims or it doesn't make much different?
I like Sub Zero rims from Rota, what do you guys think?

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all of the inputs. I have been looking at some of the Rota's rims, some of them look cool. I wonder where can I find a good deal on Rota's rim. I checked on ebay, they don't seem to have many in it.
This rim I found it on rota website, do you guys know where is the best place to buy this rim. I hope that they have black or gun metal for this rim.

I wont get motegi's because I think that most people in my area has them and they are kinda heavy. Plus not much of the good looking ones are 16"s. I would go with Rota's, they look good and are light.

Motegi's suck. They suck more then a ***** at a vacuum cleaner convention. Not only are they heavy, like you said, they don't balance worth ****. When I worked at good ol Wal-Mart TLE, I saw a guy come in with some 16 inch Motegis, about a month old, not bent in the least bit, and they took about 4-5 ounces each to balance. For comparison, the worst rim on my car took 2.75, and it's bent to hell.

Wow I never know that Motegi have such a bad wheel. The only reason I choose Motegi was because I went to Sears Auto and they recommend Motegi to me. Well I am changing my mind now after I went to Discount Tire co. Here are some rims that I found pretty cool



Do you guys know the performance of those brands (MB Wheels, Rage, LiquidMetal)? and which one do you think is the most fit to my car?

truthfully i think cars look really funny not being dropped and having rims, it makes them look like 4x4s but i still think the gold compliments the blue the most.
