If you have aftermarket rims, please start showing them here!

I am looking for some wheels for my 8 that I got this past week which I LOVE! I need to see some rims, so I can decide on a style I would like to go with. I think we should start a thread, 1 or 2 pics max and everyone can show off their "SHOES". here is my factory junk, please show me up and post some hot wheels! Lets be nice to the dial-up people though, maybe rez the images down a bit hehe!

Man, there is a LOT of people with aftermarket rims. If everyone chimed in here and posted a pick this thread would be like 80 pages. Ok, maybe that's an exageration, but you get the point. Best thing you can do to check out people's rims is to browse this forum and the Multimedia one.

I think a thread like this is JUST what is needed. I want to get replacement rims and tires, and there are so many choices , scattered all over everywhere.

If I saw at least what I KNOW will fit AND get to see them on the car that would be one fantastic time saver!

My winter wheels! (Look great, much lighter than stock (by 5 lbs each), but only 17". In an 18" size for summer use... )

elite: Congrats! Good idea, but I'd create a new condition for this thread & this thread only, or you'll get 10 opinionated comments for every 1 photo: You can yammer all you want, as long as you post a pic of your wheels and as much info as possible in your post. Otherwise, withhold any comments (good or bad) and saturate this thread w/pics.

Ro_Ja 19" Formula 2's, Toyo T1-S tires, sizes/widths/offsets posted later.

Excellent idea. I have been shopping for new rims, this gives a good idea to what I am looking for. Has anyone used a set of Enkei ZR2's or Racing Hart C5's?
