Wheels: Black w/ machined lip ...or

i've seen a lot, if not all, of the member's rides. and only a FEW ppl have the wheels i'm looking for. Up till now, i've been really set on getting Velox VX-8 gunmetals. but now that i think about it. i think i've changed my mind.

now i'm looking for Black rims with a machined lip. if you dont kno what i'm talking about...here's an example..

so far, i've only found the Arospeed Crazy 8
http://store.yahoo.com/speedandstyle...eedcrazy8.html

and i think it looks aight. especially when it's on the tire and on the car. looks nice. but i'm sure there are others that look better. hm...maybe i should just powder coat whatever wheels i get...? i dont know.

anyone have suggestions of the kinda wheels i'm lookin for? thanx.

The Arospeeds look okay. Are they forged?

The AeroSpeed Crazy 8 is a knock off of Racing Hart CP8-R.........the Harts cost double what the Aerospeed costs.

BTW, this summer I'm getting RH CP8-R in black.

civicvtec1ps: those rims are pretty dope. matches well

but if i'm gonna get gunmetal w/polished (machined) lip, i might as well just get the Velox VX-8 gunmetals.

but i'm really looking for wheels that look like what i posted earlier. completely black with a polished lip. as far as me getting the arospeed, probably not. i just used those for reference.

anyway, keep the wheels and pictures comin! lol. thanx guys
