Rim Choices
Well eventually I'm going to start saving for new rims for my Alero, but before I do that I want your guys opinion on which of these you think would look better so I know how much I would need to save up.

thr F7's are less ricer looking. I think they are sporty and classy enough for an alero!

I like the first ones on the alero better. I don't feel the second ones work as well.

^ Yea if someone could photoshop those on my car for me so I that I could get an idea of what they would like that would be great. Unfortunately though I have to hold off even longer on getting new rims due to the fact that I just had to have a new set of tires put on this past week. So I bought some Cooper Lifeliner GLS tires to replace the Doral SDL 60's that were on there when I got the car and needed to be replaced badly. So now I have to wait until I can save up money for new rims and another new set of tires or wait until I need tires again, which is what I will probably end up doing. I would still like to get an idea of what those would look like and I'm open to any suggestions on rims besides the ones I put up in the meantime.

Need to pin down the size too... I voted for then Enkeis purely cause I prefer 17s or bigger (required for the Baers). Happiest with what I got http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/whe...801&pc=4930 0 but they're no longer available. |
