Looking At Rims For Next Spring

[koruptid]

i found 3 that i liked

[koruptid]

#2

[99BLKALERO]

out of those 2...I would say the second.

[koruptid]

#3

[jackal2000]

#3

pretty much the same design as mine but different color. i think they would look pretty good on your car :thumbsup:

[leroBob]

i like 2

[koruptid]

im leanin more towards 2 or 3...i found those on ebay and they are all around 250 for the whole set...they are 17's

[FormulaNERD]

#3


the first two have way too many spokes, and i just dont like that look.

there is a 4 door alero the same color as mine around here with similar rims to #3, they look pretty sweet, even though they're 17's and look small on a 4 door. but i think 17's are too small on any alero, just my opinion though

[99BLKALERO]

NOW THAT I SEE #3 I WOULD GO WITH THAT...

[FormulaNERD]

YEA? I AGREE

[koruptid]

well the rason im gonna go with 17s is b/c my buddy ad 18s on his cirrus and every time he hit a pothole he blew a tire...now if you have ever seen the potholes around here you would understand...i just want something thats gonna have a bit more tire...and by the way i think #3 is gonna be my choice

[Cyber Knight]

I like #3 the best too...except, that's not a Nike swish in the centre, is it? That would be goofy.

[koruptid]

hehe no its not the nike swoosh but thats what i thought of when i 1st saw the pic

[koruptid]

but wait correct me if im wrong but i could have sworn nike made a tire

[Sundayalero]

#2 Fo'Sho!!! Nice lip. Nice shade of black for your red car...

[johny_boy32]

# 3, Its the Volution sign...those wheels are Volution Sakura's and i had them on my car, only in silver. They look badass...i would highly recommend them...i wish i still had them. You will love them

[johny_boy32]

i got 4 17 inch tires and wheels shipped to my place for $660..great deal

[johny_boy32]

Here is the site i bought mine from...only $600 for 4 wheels and tires right now and shipping is free. I hope this helps you out;

[Travis99Alero]

well before i got my car and decided to do the whole red/black theme i hated dark rims..maybe b/c ive seen them on poopty cars around here and never seen any that looked decent..but im gonna see how these go

[johny_boy32]

no problem...if you have any ?'s, pm me...they were great to deal with...i prolly got my wheels in less than three weeks...maybe shorter

[koruptid]

whats the weight on these?

[wc_alero]

It does look like a Nike swoosh though, thats the first thing I thought of when I saw that pic.

I don't like any of them, but I like chrome so I guess it depends on what you like.

[koruptid]

i like chromes too but my car has the blacked out tails and headlights...chrome would look nice but i just wanna go with black...and when u say you dont like them u mean the design or the color

[johny_boy32]

i cant remember the exact weight but i agree with you when you say you want the red and black theme...i think black rims are the only way to go with your car...its your choice

you're sucha smartass and it cracks me up :lol:

[FormulaNERD]

hah, someone caught it... good job jackal.


korruptid... the picture you posted doesnt do them any justice, i checked the link and they rock more than i thought.... that's the way to go, and for 80 bucks you can upgrade to better, z rated tires... not bad.

[FormulaNERD]

oh, and i looked at the black ones, i think the gunmetal would look better. if i remember right i photoshopped my wheels onto your car a while back, and i think i still have it if you want.... so you can see the gunmetal.

and you gotta love them at 16lbs each. man i wish they had 18's.

[johny_boy32]

no offense but what does he need z rated tires for...our cars arent fast...its a waste of 80 bucks for a letter

[jackal2000]

what rims do you have? these are mine, as you can see, basicly same thing except chrome. the spokes on mine are a lil further apart.

[-Alero-]

yeah i have the american racing ones of those. i believe they are called casinos? but yeah B) i'll put up some pictures for you kiddies tommorow

[ptrudel]

the casinos are a nice choice...i went with the royales because i like alot of chrome

[99carseat]

www.americanracing.com has a cool app that lets yo uselect your car, your color and then it automatically puts wheels on your car that fit the bolt pattern. you can also lower the car or see what a new paint color would look like.

american racing (http://www.americanracing.com/appguide/index.asp?section=app) click on this link, then click on the "see wheels on your ride here"

you can't right click and save the image but you can do a screen cap.

Gregg

Here is what I'd like if money grew on trees (sorry for the pixely effect, 80k is hard to get down to)

[johny_boy32]

^too many spokes^

[FormulaNERD]

i dont know, it can look good, check out the *** assault team alero in the alerosection at ***central.com... same color blue as well.


the applet that americanracing uses is wheelsoft. at coys they have it on their computer, and you can put ANY rim, and i mean ANY on your car, choose tire size, etc

oh ok, thanx. I was scared for a minute lol :thumbsup:
I think your car allready looks awesome, but I will look 10X better after you get gunmetal or black rims, especially if you get the #3 or #2

[kwhauck]

#3.......

[koruptid]

i am going with 3

[koruptid]

ohh and by the way my mom is gonna buy them for me for xmas so ya cant beat that huh :thumbsup:

:o NICE!!!
My mom would never buy me anything for my car for X-mas, I just asked for an exaust and she just laughed <_<

[mike2002]

i dont know how i feel about the whole black rim thing....kinda looks like you lost your hubcaps when your driving...I do like IREVI's car parked, with the red and black going..., never seen it driving though.

i wonder what black/gunmetal rims look like on a navy blue sedan....

btw, i saw those VDR rims on ebay before, did a search, id skip on that brand, search on yahoo, you'll find tons of dis-satisfied customers, you get what you pay for

[|Rev|]

oh, in motion they are even better than when they are sitting still, my personal prefrence, you get a glossed black look but you can still see through it, and with the red calipers it looks sweet. Also the aluminum polished trim around the wheel, it looks really sweet.
I use to look at store fronts and see my reflection as I drove by, until I almost nailed a bicycle cop :unsure: SO now I just look at the reflection on other peoples center caps and sides of their cars :thumbsup:

I'll try to get a pic

[mike2002]

i agree, painting the calipers red is a must do mod with black rims....inmo

i just dont know what it would look like on a navy blue sedan, but on your red one it looks good :thumbsup:

i personally think chrome looks bad on alero's, at least the bling bling ones, silver for me!

[koruptid]

ohh the calipers will definately be red...thats not even a question
