Talking Hot Rims for my 8: Galaxy Gray

Hey.....I've been saving up my money for awhile now to get some new wheels for my 8. I was just wondering if anybody would have any suggestions of what wheels would look good on mine or if somebody already has some on there's and how they look.

Thanks

renesisSE3P had some 5zigen pro racers gn+'s on his GG, and his car looked FCKEN sexy.

i dont know how much youre willing to spend, but also look in the for sale section of the forum, you might find some good rims at a good deal...i know ATILLA has his rims up for sale for dirt cheap

Go look through the "Calling All Galaxy Gray's" thread. And theres lots of wheels that will look good, but since you didnt give a price range, your not really helping us help you...Do you want looks, performance, staggered, etc... You can get some Volk TE37's that will look nice, but you'll be paying over 2 grand for them...

Get some Volk RE30's. There lightweight, very sexy looking, and within your price range.

I have a color that si very close to yours and I'm also looking for the "perfect" (and affordable) rims.

I spent alot of time on this and here are two finalists:

Rota Torque 18X8.5 Hyper Black, BUT have to special order the 35 offset - this means 2 month wait. - $770 (for 4) Delivered to you.


and

5zigen FN01R-c 18X8.5 Hyper Black 43 offset ~$1000 + shipping.


I'm leaning towards special ordering the Torques - they look more unique and "mature" - they are also $300 cheaper! The two month wait is the downside though.

If you get the FN01R-c's, The wider they get, the sexier they look... fwiw
