Getting some new rims
 
So I want to get some new rims and I really like these:

They are the same size as the stock rims but I was wondering if anyone has heard of this rim brand before?

They're called Sparkle (gay I know) by DZ Wheels.

Any thoughts?

18x8 at 35 offset is not very good

How about these?

Not a bad looking wheel, but, the word "SPARKLE" is not going to be on my car. Anywhere. Nope. Not gonna happen.

To be honest, I think those rims look cheap. Then again, it also depends on your budget.

Not bad looking rims, but I don't think I could get past the name. I'd be thinking of this every time I walked up to my car:

I would say save up a bit more and get something that fit's the 8 a little better in terms of style and size.

DOMINION 02-28-2009 03:45 AM

Yea man save up. Get 18x8.5 & 18x9.5 with a 35 off set or 18x8.5 & 18x9.5 32 lol :smoker:

^Man if only you would have left it like that. Looks soo much better.

Rotr8 02-28-2009 10:31 AM

TBH they look like a really bad knock off of the Volk RE30s

They look nothing like the Volks RE30s, the spokes shape are way different and they dont have a lip like the RE30s.....Actually they look like SSR type F knock offs- These are SSR type F

+1 on OFF TOPIC posts :D:

+1 on "Sparkle" getting the thumbs down.

Zero: Aim higher bro. Save up some more and get something a little more 'suitable' for your 8.

CTrx8 03-02-2009 10:44 AM

oh no...Mr. Sparkle.

AntonToo 03-02-2009 10:48 AM

I disagree - the way the lettering is uniformly distributed in circle no one will be trying to figure out wtf it actually says - could be "KLESPAR"

Their 35mm offset is what would worry me most - as it would influence steering wheel effort and suspension geometry.

Atilla 03-02-2009 10:51 AM

omfg - i just noticed it said sparkle on the wheels - :icon_no2:

i agree that the lettering may look like it spells something else - but all it takes is him to stop at the correct angle and anybody who see's it will read it correctly as "SPARKLE" haha.

I like your wheels Zumn!

Anyways I just seen these sparkle rims on ebay in red & black. They look good but the fitting is out of wack. And I dont want to tell people my rims are called Sparkle when they ask lol But overall nice rims for $600
