Just wondering what you guys thought about these rims for my victory red cobalt. Keep in mind this is for someone on an extreme budget http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...100&vid=008909

Sorry not feeling those, but if you really like them get'em. What we think shouldn't matter so long as you are happy. If you are on the fence and know of some that you would want more than those, save for the others.

Haha, well put my friend!

I'd have to agree with everybody else, not feeling them.

They really aren't bad as far as cheap rims go. But the gunmetal might not go with the red like they said. check out Tirerack.com, they have a place where you can view the rims on your vehicle, your color.

One thing I do have to say is if you are going for aftermarket rims, stay away from cheap rims that are chrome. They tends to flake and rust easily.

I was looking at these two rims. First one for the color. But I would love the second one if it was made in a 4x100.

The first ones are Kosei K3 in Emery Gold. 17x7, 16.8 lbs each, 42mm offset, and $229 a piece. A little on the high side for me, but they just might be my new rims by the time summer rolls around. With some nice 235/40R17 BFG G-Force Sports. That would be perfect for me.
