My 18" Centerlines or Ronals?

I am seriously think of changing to Ronal R15's.I like the rims I have now because I have yet to see a car, thirdgen or not with these rims.What are your opinions on this?I like the deep dish on the Centerlines and I think the Roanls have about the same depth.

its hard to say but i think i would stay with the rims you have...maybe lower the car a bit more or something...there are some angles of your car inwhich im not too thrilled with the look of your rims...but other angles do look good...its hard to explain

I went too small on the tires, that's why there's so much gap but I may as well use'em till it's time to replace right? I may stick some sportlines on it though.

Save your thousand dollars, or, at least, spend it on something you really need, which isn't wheels. Yours look very good. Keep 'em!
