Re: help me pick rims!

Re: help me pick rims!
although i may be going with the top one, just found out the shipping on the 2nd ones is like another 600$ ! its free for #1
Re: help me pick rims!
I like the ones in the third picture.
The first pic looks like they'd be at home on a dodge magnum or truck/SUV and the second....just ugly.

Re: help me pick rims!
My pick would be to leave that sharp looking Roc alone and spend the money elsewhere.Maybe some go fast goodies for the engine or some suspension mods,just my opinion though.
Re: help me pick rims!
For a lot less you could have those wheels chromed or polished and then you could paint the lines and inbetween the spokes a gloss black. It would give a similar look to the other two wheels you're looking at and IMHO would look a lot better.

First rim. Second won't look right. And if you are wanting to do something different, don't keep the stocks on there. Hold on to them though.

Re: help me pick rims!
Neither.....
They both have that FWD-style offset (like the 4th gens & C4+ Vettes do). Are you gonna be able to run either, without buying adapters to bolt them up?

Re: help me pick rims!
I'd stay stock, too. But if you don't, don't get rid of the stock ones. If you keep the car for a long time, you'll wish you hadn't parted with them.

Re: help me pick rims!
Well if I must choose between the two, I'd go with the first one, the second one just has too many angle. Later.

Re: help me pick rims!
OK, a number of years ago, I saw these gorgeous rims that had bright red in the center, with cutouts that looked like flames. (They also made them with black centers.) Tried to find them online last night to no avail. Anyone have an idea about them?
