Getting new wheels - what do you think?
 
Below is a pic of the new wheels I am getting for my 8. You can see the color of my 8 in my avatar photo. What do you think? Like, don't like, suggestions, comments....I'm curious to hear everything.

If you are wondering what rims these are, they are Volante Ace Black w/Yellow Stripe.

Don't like. BTW you didnt post any wheels specs (width, offset)

baseballgenius80 05-14-2010 10:04 AM

Sorry, these are 18x7.5 with 225/40 tires

^Don't get a wheel that is only 7.5" wide... :banghead:

IMO going with that wheel and the paint job you have then the car needs to have an aggressive stance with wide wheels to have any hope of pulling it off. If you want black wheels then I would not do the yellow stripe.

Agreed. The stock 8" wide wheels are too narrow, going even narrower is a huge fail. The wheels look cheap to be perfectly honest, and if 7.5" is the widest it comes then they're aimed at FWD cars.

I agree with pdxhak also, ditch the yellow stripe, go all black.

I'd say the last 3 posts sums it up fairly well ;)

I agree with the above posts, do not like that wheel.
