Why bother asking for our input? It's your car, your opinion. Get what you want. If i tell you to get white and paint it pink, would you? No. And white on chrome gets all the girls? Thats funny. For some reason i thought a) money, b) character or c) your person looks gets you girls. Not cause you riced up a car.

Gunmetal, or white. And please, he asked our opinion, obviously he wants outside input before he does something halfway questionable to his car. Why don't you try to lay off the negative attitude and stop posting useless information. Thanks.

structure240, nice car...im gettin hyperblack rims with a silver lip, but my cars gettin painted black though.

i saw a white car the other night with white rims and the rims had a silver lip around them, it looked really good. i think structure240's rims are 17's if im not mistaken

i bought 18's before but decided not to use them. they weigh more tires cost more and the sidewall isnt as big so damaging the wheel is easier. jsut go with some nice 17's u wont be dissapointed

Ya, those advans are bad ***. Veilside rims are a little on the pricey side. Way too much IMO, but ur right, they are sexy. I like their other ones tho. But if you have a white car you should definately look into gunmetal with a nice silver lip. But if you have a really clean trick paint job then white with silver lip looks nice too. But Im sure they are hell cuz you gotta clean them all the time. My friend has some white Konigs and says he'll never buy white rims again. s14a- How much do you plan on spending?

I dont really like rims with a bunch of spokes like the F series. I think what im thinking of is the Andrew V series. Its a pimp version of the S14 SE wheels. I would love some Advan Siena IIs, Blitz Type 03s, or Volk TE37s.But with a 1500 bucks to work with id get some 17" Tenzo Passion 5s in gunmetal with some nice tires. Ive liked these for a while. I dunno, Im just a fan of the spoke pattern.

Three 6 Mafia in the Hizouse...Where can you get those mustang rims? I think the brand you have is cobra right? I like how those look and they are really wide. You guys are blowing my mind.
