there is no "lip" on the stock wheels also.. they sit flush with the tires, so no that would look horrible. Look at something with a lip. U can get a set of motegi's for pretty cheap in that style. But that would look like crap with out a lip.

The stock rims are "rims". I mean...they are to people who put more into their engine then appearance, but you just aren't into that by the looks of it.

to someone that doesnt own/know about aleros they'd think it was factory stock rims. to someone who knows aleros they'd laugh at your poor attempt to obtain aftermarket rims

Actually, They're properly called wheels.

rim 1 |rim| noun the upper or outer edge of an object, typically something circular or approximately circular : a china egg cup with a gold rim. See note at border . • (also wheel rim) the outer edge of a wheel, on which the tire is fitted. • the metal hoop from which a basketball net is suspended. • (often rims) the part of a glasses frame surrounding the lenses. • a limit or boundary of something : the outer rim of the solar system. • an encircling stain or deposit : a thick rim of suds.

wheel |(h)w?l| noun 1 a circular object that revolves on an axle and is fixed below a vehicle or other object to enable it to move easily over the ground. • a circular object that revolves on an axle and forms part of a machine. • ( the wheel) used in reference to the cycle of a specified condition or set of events : the final release from the wheel of life. • ( the wheel) historical a large wheel used as an instrument of punishment or torture, esp. by binding someone to it and breaking their limbs : a man sentenced to be broken on the wheel. 2 a machine or structure having a wheel as its essential part. • ( the wheel) a steering wheel (used in reference to driving or steering a vehicle or vessel) : his crew knows when he wants to take the wheel. • a vessel’s propeller or paddle-wheel. • a device with a revolving disk or drum used in various games of chance. • a system, or a part of a system, regarded as a relentlessly moving machine : the wheels of justice. 3 ( wheels) informal a car : she's got wheels now. • a bicycle. 4 a thing resembling a wheel in form or function, in particular a cheese made in the form of a disk. 5 an instance of wheeling; a turn or rotation. 6 informal short for big wheel .


Oh, and i don't think the stock wheels lend themselves well to a color-break like that.
