Rims! what do you think?
well its been another long night of sleeplessness so I was just shopping around. I think I like the TSW ones the best, but the American racing are not bad either. I'm defiantly wanting 17's, and in a similar style like these 4 are. If anyone could provide imput on different brands and info to help with shopping that would be much appropriated. when spring hits I'll be ordering some for sure.  I want light weight but still with good quality. one thing I'm trying to avoid is the kind that have the little center lug nut cover (like the Verde), I don't like those most of the time. I also think I like the 5 spoke designs best... less weight and better visibility or the rotor and caliper with plenty of room for the rim its self to show off. also, anyone have 8" instead of 7.5" width? is there that big of difference or anything? apparently they will still fit but I want to be sure.

2 or 3. Probly 3 to go with the chrome accents you have.

I always have liked the chrome and black. only style of it I dont like is when all the spokes are black and the interior is chrome... looks kinda ricy to me. Its hard to find ones with a good mix of black and chrome that still have the red stripe. and I really want a red stripe to go with the calipers, red/black pinstripe, and interior lighting.
Edit: added a new one

I agree with Whiterider. 2 and 3 are the best looking.

Since I'm a huge fan of the spoke leading all the way to the edge of the wheel, and two-tone wheels, I'm gonna say #3 is the winner. Sleepy, don't you have those wheels or something very similar?

I like #2 and #3, but for your chrome accents #3 is the best.

The bottom one is my choice for sure. Will look amazing with the kit you have on it imo...

Depends on the offset of the wheel.
My Eagle Alloy 185s are 17x8" with a +38mm offset, and fit fine. I use a 3mm hubcentric spacers to get an effective offset of +35mm. This pushes the wheels out a bit and I think looks better, without any huge undesirable effects.
I could probably push them out another 3mm to +32mm, but that starts putting a lot of unusual stress on wheel bearings and such and also fouls up the scrub radius. |
