Re: New Rims keep em or not?
Im not a huge fan... but I have a feeling a lot of people would like those, and they're unique without being overly flashy. I bet they'll grow on you. I prefer more of a classic look usually, though.

Re: New Rims keep em or not?
It deff. makes the car look 10x better then the stock rims thats for sure.
I think rims make or break a car. the ADR bmw lookalikes would even do well for what I want.
Well see like you say these might grown on me.

Re: New Rims keep em or not?
agree they look better then stock, but something about them doesn't quite look right maybe the gray against the white, might look better polished on a white car to add some bling factor

Re: New Rims keep em or not?
I think they look good. May be if they were painted white it would look better?

Re: New Rims keep em or not?
Im actually thinking black with a polished lip area. The car if I keep it is getting a 2 tone aint job anyways.
Black Hood,A- pilars, tonnau cover and deck lid/spoiler/caps.
might be getting rid of the car for another bike anyways ('02 ZX12r) so the new owner can deal with if he likes em.
They are growing on me. If keep the car eventually I want the ADR bmw rims.

Re: New Rims keep em or not?
I LOVE the SS 10 spokes on Camaros. These.... not so much. Might be better in person tho.

Re: New Rims keep em or not?
They don't look bad, just needs some cleaning and detail. I prefer the 10 spoke ss however.
