I like the rims on it right now best, lol.
But if you go with either of those? then the first. I really dont like #2.

i really wish i could see some gunmetal rims with a polished/machined/chrome lip. on my color car.

and yeah these rims look good but they just arent big enough, i kick myself in the ass everytime i realize i have 17's

get something like that in gunmetal w/ the polished chrome lip. on your shade of gray it would look awesome.

hmmm they dont exactly scream out attention they deserve you know?

if i could see what those would look like in the gunmetal on an alero i'd consider that style.

but i appreciate the advice

i like the rims you have on there now. its not the best job but i did a quick photoshop of what they would look like gunmetal with a chrome lip. they would actually look pretty sweet with your color car.

get some 19" ADR m-sport, hyperblack. and then get the lip polished.

or for something different, check out the falken koblenz, i like the way it looks.

i would also reccomend the bbs rs-gt, but they cost more than your car is worth, and you probably wouldnt want that.

hmm nice nice, but im still on the fence about chrome vrs. gunmetal.

i mean yo usaid yourself yo uhate chrome but you liked the chroem on my car

FormulaNERD
09-27-2005, 12:08 AM
yea, chrome looks good on your car. but i'm kinda on the fence with everyone. i think as long as you have some nice chrome lips you should be good.

hey, those last rims you posted are the newer version of the rims i had... just so you know. but of course mine werent chrome... i'm still a fan of the 5zigens

-Alero-
09-28-2005, 01:11 AM
yeah and these lowenharts are 3 piece just the way you like em. and apparently the arent cheap : /

whats the exact name of the 5zigens? i gforget what they look like, i think they were on NFSU2

FormulaNERD
09-28-2005, 02:46 AM
mine were 5zigen copse, and the replacements for them are the Hyper5ZR's

and like i said, they're almost identical to the lowenharts you posted, at first i thought they were actually the 5zr's. but the 5zr is a little more aggressive i think. and they're cheaper because you can get 1, 2 or 3 piece.
