What about these rims.....*****???

My first impression was <FONT SIZE="5">RICE</FONT> but who knows maybe you can photoshop a good color.

>Oh now that you post more then yeah that is <FONT SIZE="15">RICE</FONT>

this one is good. The rest are crap. Red annodized aluminum will become pink in the sun. Remember that. If you do get ROH ZS's You could leave the other lip alone and do the center a gunmetal gray color.

If extreme color coordination is your thing...you could get matching
BF Goodrich "Scorcher" tires which come with a color impregnated tread design.

I love the ROH ZS wheels, but not when they look like that. I prefer the polished finish. A polished inner wheel with the lip anodized might look cool, though.

HA! did you know if you put a big fat metal pipe under the hood and a house hold dryer hose for ram air that a 150HP gain!

This wheel will not fit our Thirdgens. Konig is not as good of a wheel as the ROH brand. The clear coat will come off pretty quick and they are more inclined to bend.

I love the black centers, but I hate the colored rims. I wish ROH made them with black spokes and a polished rim instead of colored. They've got the charcoal wheeels with the polished rim, but not black.

the stock wheels get old and leave the car kind of lifeless.
