Ok, I am gonna get new rims/tires on my car in spring, probably around april. I have noooo idea which way to go. Chrome rims, (for show) or some nice racing rims. My car is already pretty easy to spot out of a crowd, and Im not sure If I wanna add chrome wheels to the car too, making it more of a target for cops and theifs..... So what do ya'll think???? Im not even sure what size to get. I got a 4 door. 15" honda rims right now. Color is a greenish color, looks different in sunlight and dark, nice though.

Chrome is best suited for luxury cars IMO.

now, is performance an issue, or are you planning on showing?

what about your budget?

11-05-2002, 12:08 PM

Well, I don't have any engine mods as of yet, but I plan on it. Mostly my car is show right now. Nothing is done underneath the hood. My budget isn't really much of a concern......So I dunno what to do

ebpda9 · 11-05-2002, 12:38 PM

got pics of the car ?

a sure bet will be the motegi mr7 wheels in gun metal.

11-05-2002, 12:40 PM

No I dont sowwie. I don't even have a scanner. Is there a website you got where I can look at those rims???

a96710 · 11-05-2002, 01:25 PM

Those MR7's are nice. I want either that style or a 6 spoke like TE37 Volk's

11-05-2002, 01:47 PM

has any of you bought rims off the internet??? If so where can I get a good honest deal, that wont get me fuc*ed up rims??

TonitrusEN · 11-05-2002, 01:49 PM

Dont buy rims off the net.. go to a local shop and buy them.. that way you have someone to yell at if someone goes wrong..

Good advice. Better to spend a couple bucks more and see what you're getting first.

TonitrusEN · 11-05-2002, 02:02 PM

But yes, Tenzo-R ZT-6's = Sessy...

see?

A few of my gang have bought from tirerack and had no problems. I wouldn't buy from a small dealer online, though.

*ChrisCantSkate* · 11-05-2002, 02:36 PM

i think www.tirerack.com lets you pick out your car and color, then put different rims on it to see if you like it. might wana do that.

BTW there are chrome rims, racing rims, and just plain rims. alot of rims are heavy even though they arnt chrome. if you just want a car that looks nice, find any set you like the way they look, cause if your not dishing out over 1500 for 17's your probobly not getting light wheels (rota's are the exception)

11-05-2002, 09:23 PM

Id go with some Rota rims. Im gting their subzeros in gun metal the 16's weigh like 13.5 lbs I think I may be off a lb or so. Plus I think they look sweet. they also many different other stlyes as well.

11-06-2002, 09:48 AM

www.tirerack.com is the best i have found yet just to see what looks good on the car...then i would def. go to a local shop to pick them up...you never know with the internet...good luck chica

THANK YOU EVERYONE

ebpda9 · 11-06-2002, 10:05 AM

i was looking at some mr7's on ebay. they go for about half the price and the users had a really good rating.

11-06-2002, 10:15 AM

Yah, see I love E-bay, I have gotten lots of stuff off of there, the only problem is that I have no clue what size rims and tires I need. I don't know much about tires and rims, especially for my car. I don't wanna spend 500 bucks for rims and then have no clue if they are even gonna fit my car???/

ebpda9 · 11-06-2002, 10:25 AM

ok you gotta get some 17" with a 4 lug pattern 4X114 and an offset of 38-42mm.
