Racing Dynamics wheels?
was searching through craigslist for random stuff and came across these wheels.thought they might look pretty good on my car. they Racing dynamics 17x 8.5 and the guy had them on a 4th gen. i was either thinkin of leavin the centers how they are or painting them black. i love the wheels on my car now but once in a while i kinda wanna change it up a little and run some 17's.
what do you guys think?
they kinda look like zr1 knock offs
heres a pic from the ad.
heres some other pics i found off google.
heres my car as it sits right now.

Re: Racing Dynamics wheels?
Honestly, the car looks good now. But if you get the wheels and paint the centers, I don't think it'll be that big of a change, especially from a distance. Now if you leave the centers as is (unpainted), it will make a change...it'll look better IMO - but I'm not into the blackened wheel thing.

Re: Racing Dynamics wheels?
I might plasti-dip them just to see how they look. I'm not a big fan of chrome. It didn't come on the car stock so it shouldn't go on it.

Re: Racing Dynamics wheels?
so i painted one with plasti-dip and i love it. it makes the wheel look like an ever higher end wheel like a CCW or something like that.

Re: Racing Dynamics wheels?
I like those 10x better then the other ones. Id have them machined to fit over the hub vs spacers.
Thats the main reason I want to get rid of my rims / 2inch spacers.
