What wheels??

Well here i am having a dilema I have searched for wheels that i think look pretty good and fit my car and still would like opinions. So here are some pics of wheels that i am looking at.




sorry for the bigger pic




I wish these were made already They do come in the 5X110 lug pattern and 18x8 but i have researched and none have been made as of yet

You should post a picture of your car right now.. Maybe they work for your cars style, but they wouldn't be any I'd use.. That way I can see what'd be best..

Nevermind. You have a black SS t/c. Just keep the stock wheels and use the money for something to make you faster..

I would say the second set as well. All the black and chrome rims look cheap and gaudy to me. Plus it is very played out on almost anything.

Well All those rims dont have any chrome on them they are polished lips and Machined faced with black paint. I am addin some go fast goodies as well and i dont want to do the whole powdercoat ur wheels black that everyone has i like to be a lil different. Plus for the price of powdercoatin in my area and the time im gonna have to wait/ and take off work it kinda feels like it wont be worth it to powder coat. Some of the rims that i have found are about 500 to 600 for 4 of them seems like a better deal

link to the second set the black with the red http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...%20Stripe.html

5-600 bucks for aftermarket wheels = 40 additional pounds versus the stock TC wheels that are VERY light! Powdercoat the stocks or get Ultraleggeras if you have the dough.

Of all those, the Foose look the best. The rest look like cheap knock offs, imo. But, as the others have said, something with performance and style would be more appropriate for that car. CCWs aren't cheap (neither are Fooses though), but you get what you pay for, and they are DEAD SEXY to boot.

I wish they made the Foose wheels but everyone that ive talked too said they havent made any in the 5x110 bolt pattern yet even though on foose's website says thats the lug pattern it comes in. Im kinda liking the second set just wish it didnt have the red stripe. And the Pf101 or whatever they are do look nice but they are too exspensive.

Here is a pic of my car to see if it brings any more opinions.

It just seems a lil too much to spend 250 or more for rims and they arent my fave style the enkei pf01's Im just trying to stay between 130 to 180 a wheel cause thats about the same to powdercoat a wheel plus time off of work. I have a list of what i want to spend of performance parts and more exspensive wheels means less performance parts.

Thats about almost 250 a wheel which im sure u got a real nice set of lighter weight ones. And i doubt u can get 500 or 600 bucks for ur TC stock wheels. we are in a recession lol. i also gotta buy tires too i still have the stock tires and at almost 20k miles ill need a new set in the commin months look to pay right around 1000 for tires and rims not counting mounting and stuff. No didnt post two threads about teh same thing the one u were in was a photoshop request for rims that i showed here.
