Ok, I've been reading the other posts about rims and what not. I found one I really like, but have yet to see anyone have them or have them as a choice. Not sure if anyone does yet. Here are the 3 choices so far.

This is the one I'm liking so far 18"x8.5"

Then this one http://www.wheelsnext.com/whee....html

Here is the last one http://www.wheelsnext.com/whee....html

Here's also some pics of my car. Not much changed, but it's a little different.

not gonna lie dude but they are all ugly. i would not put those on my car even if they were free. I'm not sure if ur trying to get rims just because ur on a budget or u actually think they look good but no dice and that website lack quality rims.

Hmm, I didn't think they we're that bad. Not a big fan of the black rims for a dark gray car. Figured the gunmetal would be neat. And the site had the pics for the rims, I found all 3 on other sites as well. And yeah, kind of stuck with what I got put away.

Didn't like any of them, and I also not a huge fan of black wheels.



I think these Enkei RP03's look better. Also come in 18x8.5's

For a similar look for less money in an 18", look for the 350Z 5 spoke wheels. I'm sure you can find a full set with tires on ebay for ~$800. Or even shop around and find some singles/pairs of fronts only, then you can still rotate tires.

lol, I figured they'd look nice cuz of the gunmetal gray and machined silver. Not too over the top, and still has some silver in it.

.. i don't get it.. why ask other folks how they think the rims look? Everyone's got different tastes, you obviously chose those because YOU like the way they look... you'll NEVER get a lot of people to agree on whether a rim looks good or not... so get what you want, and srew what everyone else says!!!!

some of those wheels look good.. but not for the AC, I just think they need a dish or something else. Flush just doesnt flow well with the ac lines IMO. *shrug* Im sticking with stock hubs until I find something stunning.. or someone whos tired of their time attacks! lol. If you are set on the above 3, konig :p gunmetal w/ machined lip will look ok on the dark slate/precision gray whatever it is

You got a point, but I was expecting a slightly different outcome from this, lol. I'll prolly end up getting the first one if anything, or unless I find something different. Btw, nice mods, you do it all yourself?
