Opinions on rims...56k be warned

Not sure if this belongs here or member's rides. Mods please move it if you like.


I've got a Silver coupe...which wheels?


Haven't seen anybody with these:




Any other suggestions? I want a silver or machined finish with no lip. 18 inch...

I'll also be getting the Kaminari kit.


Thanks!

I like the bend of the spokes on the Nakayamas -- also how the spokes blend into the rim but have a curve of their own instead of following the rim's curve.

How about these? I saw some gunmetal 24s on a Navigator while I was in Panama City Beach and now I think I'm gonna go for that instead of silver.

How do you think it would look on my silver Coupe?
