Rim Ideas please???
I have my original rims, centercaps and all(one is chipped a bit), and i was wondering, should i clean up(and possibly paint) the original rims? Im having my car painted black, and im having my original aqua color still on the car(brake drums, calipers, RS Logos, and possibly stripes)
Should i get some better looking rims? i need something really agressive looking.

Torque Thrust II's? I think some gray ones would look nice with the Bright Aqua paint.

CTW Motorsports wheels.
lightweight, aggressive, and they're 17x9.5, literally the perfect size for these cars. Most of the time you get stuck with 17x8 or 8.5, or 18x8 etc. Hard to find wide wheels for some real aggressive rubber, and even harder to find them already set up for our hubs and offset.

Very affordable for what they are, too. You'll spend $1000 easily on some blingy, heavy 17x8 american racing wheels.

If you want ideas and be better informed you might want to check out the wheel and tire section. All the information you would ever need is there

They're more of a utilitarian lightweight race wheel design. They look good because they look functional. Some guys dont like that, I love it. I love CCW's and some guys hate em. I hate shiny overly "stylish" wheels (see: Centerline Daggers), so stuff like this really sets off my awesome detector.
