It says there isn't a picture.

Went to the link and it says no pics. I ordered a set from Wheels Next and was happy with them. Friendly and fast. I think some have had issues but I did not. I found it better to call the order in then to do it online.

oppps sorry, here is a pic



Yea best thing about them is free shipping, mounting, balancing, and a discount to the armed forces! That means I will get a discount!!!! HAHA I love having a military ID!!!

Here is a quick PS of the rims on my car, excuse the laziness!!!

I was looking at these...



My friend had these on his Matrix, and they looked great. I might have my mind set on them unless I find something I like better.



I'd get these if I wanted something black.

[Clipsed]

I wish the rims that my uncle was gonna hook me up with yesterday (5 spoke) woulda fit, they were 100's not 114.3, because they were some nice 17's! I woulda taken em to get cleaned up and they woulda been nice for $250!!

[Clipsed]

these look pretty sick too!!



or even these



there are some nice wheels on that site, I just threw those up, because they were really clean all black 7 spokes, I like plain jane rims lol, but fancy can do me too!!!

[BenzTech Gone Versa]

The cut n paste pic looks sexy as hell!I'd deff. go with the black cuz i got the white V.

[Clipsed]

I seen a white V parked at a house the other day near my friends house, had some white 17's and they looked pretty clean, if I had my camera with me I would have taken a pic to show, but I didnt and it was dark, woulda looked crappy as hell on my camera phone.

I just sent an inquiry to them about the rims and seeing how much they are w/o tires and what discount millitary personnel get, we will see what their response is.

[Ever Victorious]

Never been a fan of black rims, even on a black car. The style of rim is pretty nice though.

I was looking at these...

I'm looking into something like this, but in gold. My car is silver, so some gold shoes would look nice.

[marleyfan]

I agree about the black rims. I think chrome rims on a black car look really good. The black on black just doesnt do it for me.

Jemdawg, those ASAs are hot. Best wheel in this thread yet (sorry Clipsed, yours come second)

[Clipsed]

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I those would be last on my list, and if I could afford to put out the extra money for chrome, I would probably get some, but at 17 I can barely afford these.

i really really realllllllly like these, but the price on the site dose it include tires also?

[Clipsed]

yea it includes the wrong size tires to keep stock settings, you would have to reprogram the computer if you ran the tires they include in the package.

[reyes1212]

i like those black motegi's

[Jemdawg]

I originally wanted my car to be all black, but I like how the ASA's make the car catch your eye. They are, insofar, the best looking rims I've ever seen in person. I personally hate chrome rims, they always look tacky to me. I'd get the ASA's at 18x7.5, and with a set of Pirelli's they come out to roughly $1500, which is budgetable for me over the summer because I bring in about $650-700 a week.

Well, I give you props on being able to afford any kind of aftermarket wheel for your car at 17. With a mortgage, tuition, and no time to work until summer (which I need to save for tuition next year), there's no way the wife would go for extra wheels.

Enjoy your youth....mine disappeared faster than I thought it would.

[Clipsed]

lol, yea I am trying to do as much as I can ASAP, because at the end of the year I turn 18 and won't be able to do squat to my car! So that is why I want to get the most expensive things on my to do list done first, because whipping out an extra $100- 200 later will be easier than whipping out more, although both are hard, you get the picture! So not only this, but my HID's too, I just finished talking to my neighbor who works at a BMW dealer in the parts department, and she is going to try and get me a set of HID's to retrofit into the V. I love knowing people!!!

But on the rims, yea I hope to get em ASAP!!

I will have a set on my car sometime within the next week, I will take pics to give you guys some ideas, my friend is gonna let me borrow the rims off of his Honda for a day lol. Sounds idiotic I know, but hey that is what homies are for! HAHA

[Veilside Versa]

Should get some good brand for your V!! dont get those cheap rims....

[Clipsed]

You wanna give me the extra money? lol Im mexican, we buy what we can afford!!! haha but seriously, as I said I'm 17 and money doesn't come easy for me, I don't have a credit card as some of you do, I gotta save and pay cash. Rims are rims just as gas is gas, there really is not much of a difference in quality!!! I mean comon lets get real here, they are all hunks of metal in a design, BASICALLY the only difference are the material used. If I had the money for some TIS's or Giovanni's, I woulda bought them long ago among other things. I will stick with what I can afford thank you!

[Jemdawg]

Steer clear of credit cards. Having one is a curse, you'll wind up owing $1500+ like me.

I guess I'll be the one to bite and point out the obvious, which you probably already know.

The Honda is probably 4x100, your V is 4x114.5... so you gotta make sure they're 8-lug rims (both sets of bolt patterns) or they won't fit.

[Clipsed]

not the Honda he had, he thought the same thing, that is what he bought the rims for, he was wrong, thought we would try em on my car, didn't fit either. I was thinking about getting em re-drilled, but by the time everything would be said and done, if I did that and painted em black, I would be spending close to the same amount on these new Azuls that are PIMPIN! But yea I don't want to get a credit card for that reason, lol, I see where my parents are and I say FUUUUUUUUU THAT! haha

[Clipsed]

OK THEN SO MY PHOTOSHOP SKILLS ARE WACK HUH RED!!?? Well here are the rims fixed the way they should be in a few different finishes.

BLACK



Chrome



Gun Metal



Man this car would look good with some bigger brakes, and rotors on the back!!! I love what I did to this pic!!!

SO NOW WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT EM!???? lol

Too bad they don't have the rims in those finishes, I think it was also done in hyper black which is in between silver and gun metal

o0o well, I'm still researching this!!

[Clipsed]

BUMP, all day no response on the new pics!?? Went to a rim shop today to check some out, they had some NICCCCCE Motegi's on the floor!

[Bubs daddy]

I think black rims look ridiculous but that's my opinion.

[Veilside Versa]

I don't have much money either, but that is depend how u look for it...

There is a lot of USED brand name rims. Like 5zigen, Rays, Racing hart, Advan, Enkei, Work, SSR.........

You live in Pasadena right? there is a Discount tire center in Temple city i think, and have a wheel and tire package (17" 5zigen FN01C) for only about $950.

Or u can have some good deals in MAZZ auto in San Gabriel.

[Clipsed]

Rims alone are $300 for the set, Tires I can get wholesale price, as I know someone in that buiness too, lol, but I got a call a lil while ago I might get hooked up on rims from the guy who sells my dealer rims. So we will see what happens there. Tires would only run me about $200 for some good Essenza's. So that is $500 for the whole set, as I would only pay maybe and extra $40 for my man to mount and balance em.
