What colour is your ride ??

take a photo of the rim... blow it up to the exact size and paste the picture on your current rim and stand back and see the effect.

Not bad. Your wife is half-right; she may think it looks strange maybe because its uncommon.

Its a nice rim. Is it 2 piece and how much it costs?

Lennon,

Unfortunately Chinaman boss not so generous. He just lent me the wheels to take picture. Any idea how I can reduce a 5MB picture to 2Mb so that I can paste it here?

Emperor, it is a monoblock wheel. It retails at approx. USD100 in USA and should be the same in Malaysia/S'pore. A 2 piece wheel should cost approx. USD500 - USD1000.

bro,

i tell you sumtin. Rims are a very subjective issue. Everyone has very different opinions.

My rims are almost identical in design to yours but in hyperblack(gun metal grey chrome). But becoz of the difference in colour, it looks very different.

When I first changed it, the guys in my office didn't dig it. But the girls lurv it including the office auntie.

end of the day, it's u and yr ride.

Foo77,

Thanks for the advise. Are you from malaysia?

Used MS paint instead with Baron's advice from another thread.
