i couldnt hardly spell it let alone type it haha.

Yeah im really stuck on rims. the only reason im looking at all black vs chrome lip is, there isnt much flashy on the outside. shoot i think i might even go with a flat black exhaust tip too

idk i got time to decide also one im looking at is the rota slipstreams.

What's stopping you from going gunmetal?

As much as I hated the MR7's on my car, the metallic in the gunmetal brought out the metallic in the paint and the finish looked perfect. Bring that paint out!

Another option if you're going for something stealthy, yet cost affective would be these. Those are what I had on my '01 except I had the titatium finish................nice because they come in an 8" wide width and I love the spoke design. However the upkeep of a flat finish gets old, but cramming a nice fat tire on there doesn't. I've also ordered my last 2 wheel/tire packages from them, awesome guys.

It's really hard to pick. But imo I would do the sold black rim with no polished lip.

I do like polished lip on bigger rims and bigger cars though.

Hmmm not a fan, dont like the spokes as much as i thought, nor do i like the center caps. thanks for the pics.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the way the spokes flare out on the end. I think the K5s would look good on your car.

i personally don't like the look of a universal rim. i would go with the all black aswell

1. Enkei ZR2, 2. Kobe K5, 3. Kodama

i'd have to see em on the car though, i think your car would look good with the black on it

i like the k-5's (mainly because they remind me of my old excel "speeds"...)

but have you thought of a black(or gunmetal) wheels with a lip painted to match your car?
that could look pretty freakin hot!!

thats really not a bad idea, i cant find 99$ of the rims i listed here anyway now. they are all off the site. that might actually look pretty good.

pm me a profile pic (from the side) of your car and good pic of a set of wheels at the same angle, and i'll see what i can do... im still messing around with color changing, so you may want to create a thread in the IM and see if others will also give it a shot. plus, i may get swamped in the next day or two since im getting married this saturday, so i cant guarantee that i'll get to it.
