well, as the title says im choosing between rims or tint. im doing this anytime soon, christmas killed me on the money, but im thinking ahead. after my next several paychecks i should have enough for tint, and i wait even longer til maybe march or april i might have enough for a nice set of rims. im just thinking ahead though. what should i get? tint...or skip tint and keep saving for rims? and im just curious, what is a good price on tint for our cars and how dark would you go?

 

do tint.... wheels add weight lol...

 

Tint. Stock rims are fine as is. Unless you've got the funky "wannabe" 5-spoke hubcaps.

 

^^hes an ls... so thats what he has.. but thats fine for the moment....go tint then wheels some lightweight ones...

 

tint is pretty cheap... and is really nice... I'd go for that.

unless you are riding on the base model steelies w/hubcaps.

nothing tackier than a "tuner" car with hubcaps.

 

Go with tint.....Rims dont look good unless you are lowered

 

Has anyone tried taking off the "caps" and painting the metal part? It might look alright painted a gunmetal color.

 

hmm i might have to try that lol

 

Should have added a poll, but I see that it's pretty much unanimous.

 

how do the steelies look without caps? even tackier? lol

 

Buy some SS wheels off of here and then do the tint yourself

 

Tint first. It's not that expensive, you should be able to find a lot of places to do it for under $200.

 

ranger... he cant because its a different bolt pattern...

 

HatedCobalt did

 

Snap

 

my 07 LS is 4 lug with hubcaps... and all the 08's at my dealer are 4 lugs as well

 

^^see lol... hated had them re drilled...

 

Interesting.....

 

Tint your rims.

 

Tint, i did 20% got all of them done (except for windshield of course) for $155 with lifetime warranty. I wish i would have went darker though.

 

Save and buy my rims from me lol! I have a set of 18' Enkei RS5's that I had on my LS before I traded the car in for an 07 SS. If you want picks p.m. me cus they are in like new condition.

 

I think he swapped hubs lol

 

The only non SS I have seen with 5 lugs at the dealer was an LT.. but even some LT's have 4 so.. i dont know, must be some sort of option

 

5% Tint

 

tint first
