I PS'd some wheels on my car. Keep in mind that the door handles will also be blacked out. Please say yes or no with a reason. If i get enuf yes's, then ill get them with my next paycheck. Keep in mind that the economy is bad so these the price range for wheels has really gone down for me. these are 18's, 23 pounds each wheel. Offsets- 35

If they were totally black with no red ring I would say 'yes' as I think they would match a blacked out car well. If your planning on getting them with the red ring I have to vote 'no'. The red just doesn't seem to fit the car - it throws the look off IMHO.

The red stripe would have to go. Staggered offsets with a deeper rear lip is a plus.

NO! and I'll give you more than one reason

1- It makes you stand out to the police.

2- In my opinion it is a waste of money.

3- Do you have 6 months to one year living expenses in savings? If not time to start.

4- If you are earning money are you funding an IRA or 401k plan? If not time to start.

5 If you are still living at home are you paying rent to your parents?

As Suzi Orman would say "can you afford it, show me the money"

Even without knowing all the facts. You are REJECTED! you cannot afford it!

I still lust for the new Z06 I saw back in 2001?? It was the first year for the Z06. It was BLACK with SMOKED rims! I prefer a smoked rim to a black rim...am I talking about black chrome??

PS it without the red and let us see

No! If I am going to spend bunches of bucks on wheels I want them to pop not disappear into the body.

No. Red Stripe is for beer. Yay beer!

Here's my take on your project here. The economy is down. Wait until you feel more confident in the economy and continue to save through this down turn, because it's definitely on your mind since you mentioned it. In the end, you'll feel more confident about buying new rims and you can get better rims as well.

I say no. Red ring just looks wierd and out of place.

I say no to the gold too. You have too many chrome accents.

No, I think you should get black with silver lip to match the handles instead of blacking it out.

Rims with chrome lips are generally heavier.

Try a different paint scheme...

The time attack look can only be pulled off if you plan to have your car super fit...

Gold maybe?

White?

Go with some 18"s with aluminum finish, staggered, with low pros. done. The cheap wheels with the red lip look kinda gay.

Tell ya what.......I'll sell ya my stock coupe rims (shiny painted style) and put a clear black powdercoat over the existing painted surface. It will come out a dark clear gray and be alot stronger than just painted wheels.

Otherwise I say make up yer own mind on what you want. If you listen to what we (the collective) say, then WE are the ones designing your look for you.........then you won't have your taste or flair or whatever you want to call it....it will be our taste. DO YER OWN THING AND BE PROUD!! I don't have a clue as to what you have in yer head as the final outcome for your car. Were you gonna black out the handles and put a red stripe on them?? were you gonna go with a carbon fibre hood and trunk and put red stripes on them to match as well?? put a small red stripe around yer windows?? I can't see yer plan so I can't fairly say yes or no.

BTW......all of those descriptions are total rice and B.S. to me...I wouldn't do that......but someone else may.

Just sumthin to think about.

((Did you see that motorcycle?? or did you just KILL him??))

Ahh, the ST-1... nice choice... I got mine for 1400, you're down south so expect like $1100 USD delivered.

I have the silver aluminum finish, I think Tollboothwiley has the gunmetal, and now you got the black.... shuold be badarse. We just need someone to get the chromies and we're all set.

Congrats, they'll suit the car perfectly, and the style is exotic IMO, not ricey

InfinitiGkid, you're always pushing flush fitment in every thread, there are bigger issues at hand. We know what looks good when we see it
