Definitely the IROCs. The SS wheel is way too commonplace, and the other one, I just dont like...

Thanks for the compliment...Actually i dont have quad tips..its just one on each side so dual tips...as for the paint job its a black pearl but more of a purple pearl if you ask me...It didnt come out the way i wanted it to but still looks good to me...I'll try to post pics with the eibach sportlines installed....

back on the other topic,i have 255s on my IROCs right now...I'll be going to a 245/40/18 tire pretty soon

Yes, I know that... I was just commenting that I don't like quad tips, I like the slightly larger duals better

Why are you downsizing the tire width? Just curious

oh i thought that i had quad tips...and i was looking at my pic and from the looks of it,it can look like i have quad tips... lol

as for downsizing the tire,its not the right tire dimensions...Its too much of a tire and i do rub a little bit when i turn full lock....

well the irocs look nice but only comes in an 8 inch width . I like boyds because their prices are good for custom wheels . And the kmc looks good but are you going to have to run an adaptor to use them . Id go with something from boyd out of all those choices.

The Hot rods by Boyd are killer. I love them. The Timeless are also nice as hell. I myself have Boyd's so I am somewhat leaning toward them. Mine are the Smoothie 2's abd I do love them. I have a 275/40/17 in the rear and a 245/45/17 in the frt sitting on Yokohama AVS ES100's and I am happy with the choice I have made.
The Iroc's look great too but I am not into Chrome so much so I lean away from them but they are nice looking rims.

Your right on the price. I got my Smoothies for $252 each, which was not too bad at all but you are right the difference is in the price.
I like the KMC's as well, they look nice too.

Honestly I think you should try to be unique. Go with a steel wheel and get the hubcap spinners.

I vote for the IROC's.
