personally rims have to be a darker silver or white to grab my attention, but i recon these would look alright on your fto

I'm gonna sound like a broken record but don't ask other people what you would like, they won't be able to tell you
Anyway - Personally, I really hate people copying motorbike riders (how they put the red tape on their tyres) and do it to their cars. If I was you, I'd avoid the whole coloured circle line around the rim thing.. but I'm not you

DUUUDE!!!! NO!! i was going to get those! LOL (check styling forum) but they look so sick aye, so i recomend them man.
i love blacks with the red groove or plain black... how much you getting them for? i got a quote from them at 200bux a wheel. personally i dont like the look of them on a blue car.
there are konig racing wheels with the blue groove but their site is down so i cant post a pic. hope the pic helps

Yeah thats what i was thinking because there would be too many colours and would look kinda funny. Thats why i wanted opinions. Like the car is blue, then the wheel is black, then there is the red circle. I personally like the wheels, but im undecided because of the number of colours that will be visible. If i get them they will be for $800 with nankang tyres.

thats a good price man... The normal is 1200 for 17s and tyress @ any old bob jane or @ spin city. So thats a killer deal.

Good price. But please avoid Nankang. Not good rubber. You be much better off with Maxxis if you r after budget tyres.

another for avoiding nankangs if you can, I just took a set off the front and tried hankooks...There 215/35x 19 gripier quieter
and better profiled for clearance....bout 25 bucks extra each i think

yes the wheel hookups are good when u know people... But if u dont - expect a good ripoff or a billion salesemen saying ''you should upgrade your tyres'' or ''you should get 18's or 19's'' .
The people who sold it to me were lebs and when i went into the shop i was expecting to get ripped coz im azian and ive heard allot of people saying they get ripped by the boiz @ tempe tyres & places alike because they go cheaper by race. But these guys were really nice.
Amount of times they said ''youleh'' or ''bruh'' in 5mins: 10 hahaha
