i need opinions...

hey guys and gals,
since i started coming here ive been taking ALL of your opinions into account for the things ive done. i have a question for all of you thats been on my mid for a long *** time now. when i first got my rims i reallu liked them, now it dont really like them all that much, its mostly the color that i dont care for. here is what i want to know from all f you;

1) should i powdercoat my rims to look something like mad greek's, after that get a drop



2)should i get them chromed like JMoney's


3)should i get them powdercoated hyper silver...sorry i cant find a pic

4) get spanky's rims from him, if i were to do that i would prolly not be able to get exaust, springs or a kit for awhile
his pics arent working for some reason

5)leave rims how they are, get a 2.0in drop, exhaust, and then save up for a kit

or if u dont like any of those ideas then u can suggest one

please help me out! all opinons/suggestions will be considered

lease:

Personally I would sell those and go with a new style all together, but my second choice would be to have them powdercoated dark bronze (goes very well with black), gunmetal or silver.

I think a set of Konig Holes in gunmetal with polished lip in 18" with a 215/35-18 tire would look very good, or a set of Axis' new Super Mesh 18" in Silver look excellent too. Just a couple ideas.

I really like the chromes ones of Jmoneys. Not many cars can pull of chromes but his looks bad ***. But honestly, I would probably go with a new rim...Kinda played out.

i know the ones that the ones i want are played out as well but i find them both to be resonable deals, they are either 19in RH C5's or Spanky's shu 4's in 18s in hyber black with a polshed lip. which one of those do u reccomend.

heres the color that they are now


heres how i want them powdercoated


so after seeing the color they are and how i want them should i get one of the above rims, shu or the c5's, or just powdercoat them

Not digging your rims then...if thats what they are supposed to look like. If it was my car, i would sell them and buy something else....I cant tell you what to buy because there are thousands of rims on the market.....and I dont know your taste.

you should sell those rims and get some new ones, i think bronze or gunmetal rims will look good on black, rota subzeros might look nice and they are pretty cheap

yea i think that spending 1600 on the c5s(they zre used) is kinda pointless i know it will look great but the 800 bucks id be spending after sell my rims ids really worth it when i can just puy it toward an exhaust, powder coating the rims hyper silver/polished, springs, and maybe even a kit, i know id need more cash to do the kit but hey i have a job

See if you can get a better price on those C5s, because thats pretty steep for used rims. Rims are like the foundation of your car....But yeah I'd get the C5s.
