Need opinion on a set of wheels for my car...
 

Ok... So I was bored at work and I decided to take a look at some potential wheel candidates for my Sky for when I consider a set down the line...

Thoughts?

do you have any side pics of the car?

I can post some tonight... none at work.

I really like your new car. Can I be it's godparent? :lol:
I'd go with multispoke since the sky has classier lines than a solstice or miata

right now im going with 2nd wheel. first rim wheel doesnt look like it should go on your car. also i sent you a pm.

I'm thinking second too... Any others?

i think the stock ones look nice

I kinda like #1.........although you can't go wrong with #1 or #2.

And I really like that red ring around the wheels.

You know- Some BBS rims would look awesome on your car.

I tend to usually like rims like #1 but for some reason I honestly think #2 would look better. I agree with RESTILLER, about the cars lines.

I would prefer the first as well,,,I know your looking for that time attack look(red accent on lip) to match your car, but it also be safe to go with a black rim with a polished lip that would compliment the pounds of chrome accents on the SKY,,,
You could also paint all that chrome black ,,, that would be awesome,,,

The 2nd set of wheels would look sick on that car!

I agree with Rotr8. Find rims with a chrome lip.
But if I had to choose a rim from your options id pick number 2.

definitely the second set.

I give the nod to the second set. Definitely stick to the black w/ red ring theme - that goes perfect w/ the color of your car.

second set will look good on ur car

yuk, yuk! :)

beers :beer:

What is the weight of each wheel?

On aesthetics alone and if it were my car I'd take the 2nd set. The mesh will look much cleaner on a Sky IMHO. More "Opel-ish". I'd also probably take a look at that same set or something comparable with a polished lip instead of the time attack look. That red lip doesn't do anything for me and, even if you like it now, I think it has the potential to get old quick.

You might also like this one. I don't know if Tenzo is a big baller brand or not, but I don't think Kazera is either. In an 18x8 size the wheel weight is 22.6lbs...

Just did some more searching and it looks like Tenzo just released a "version 2" of these "Type M" wheels that come with a polished lip. Same sizes still offered; 17x7, 18x8, 19x10 and 19x8.5...

Hahaha... :lol:

Thanks swoope. I'll drink to that... :beer:

The wheels don't come out until Late August... I'm still trying to find out the weights.

I'm leaning towards the second set too actually...

#2 for sure

these are what I was looking at for my 8... similar color scheme, just another look

^ Those would definitely look good.

I should say that I like how you chose black, that will look great w/ the red.
