I need your help. On deciding on wheels. SO PLEASE help. everyone's oppinion helps...

Hey fourms members I need your help on deciding on wheels. I have drastically changed around my car and it's almost done. So in the near future I will post a new thread of all the changes with pic's and decriptions.

As it go's i have a set of HP RACING Evo's 19x8.5 all around. --- These need work they have curb rash. And needs 4 tires.

I want to get a set of ROTA BOOST 18x9 30mm offset all around.
--- These are $840 shipped and I already have brand knew falkens to wrap them in




Which one do you think would go with my car better?

MY car now ----



The Rotas-----

I'd stick with the ones you got right now, I would maybe paint to the spokes to match the Sunlight Silver color.

I'm felling the Rota's if you would get them in Silver. If not stay with what you have.

I like the painted spoke idea.

Keep what you have, but paint the spokes and have a chrome lip.

Paint them, unless you want to spend money. Then get the black ones, those would look sick on your silver.

Personally, I'm not feeling the black wheels on a SS car. However, you propose to add another 1/2 in in rim width, which I also like the idea of...

So, have you looked at lightweight silver wheels in 9.0"?

keep the current rims, but swap to polished strakes to complement them.

personally, i've always had a thing for deep dished rims but my *** is too cheap to buy a set.
