Looking for rim ideas/opinions

Quick post. Here is a pic of my car. I don't mind the stock WS6 rims, but want something different. I've always wanted to see what Gold GTA rims would look like on the car.



Other ideas I've had(I'd like to see Photoshopped )
-Black GTA's
-Black WS6 or deep-dish rims
-Z06(Black maybe?)

I'm open to ideas and opinions
-Dustin

(I'll try to get a different picture, this is actually a picture of 350 TPI's old car, mine looks basically identical with the power Recaro seats)

how about something no one has used before on our cars....preferably billet so you can get it to fit without adapters.

search a few of their webpages to figure out a design you like and go from there.

boyd, budnik, boze, billet specialties, intro, etc.

I'm not much myself for the hyper-chrome look, at least it doesn't appeal that much to me. For your car, though, it just works really well. Myself, I'm more for building something a little on the sleeper side than the car that everyone flocks to, but that's just what I was raised on I guess, old-school muscle type stuff.

How much for the seats BTW? I dig the setup...

"hyper-chrome" what is that?

why not put some $20 cheep black steel wheels on the car then. not only a weight saver but you'll serve the same purpose?

Ever heard of "Pro Street"? If not, do a search sometime. What I mean by "hyper-chrome" is the over-the-top, all flash, full billet cars.



No offense to Eddie B. meant, I have respect for what his car is, but I'm just not a big fan of the look

I like the look of your car because it is done tastefully, but all-in-all, that sort of car just doesn't usually appeal to me.

Dog-dish hubcaps and steel wheels work on the right car. :lala: I'd just wanted to see perhaps a couple pics of the rims I listed to see how I thought they might look.

if you don't know you've never had them....

well with all respect i don't see a classy set of billet wheels as being over the top but i can respect your opinion and persuit for something more "plain jane".

good luck with it.
