choosing the right rim

[VanishingImage]

Im having a REAL hard time trying to decide on what type of rim I want or looks good compaired to my car. I do know I want 18inc rims but want something that not everyone else has in my area let alone within a good mile radius of me. Call my picky but don't wanna blow 500+ on rims that I end up getting sick of or getting ones that someone already has. Some people think gunmetal or black rims look good on a white car and some don't and Im kind of on both sides. I want something dark but not too dark where you can't make out what the rim looks like. Since I have a white car I want something to contrast some with that. Silver on a white car to me is just a little too bland. White rims would be too much white, most people that Ive asked have agreed. I have a couple rims in mind but not sure, one is Excel BK7's in gunmetal or hyperblack(theres already a few people I know that have these) and my second choice is Excel RH-5's in hypersilver(dark silver with some shine to them) I can get picks if anyone wants to see them but want some imput on what other possibilities....Im not a full time worker,college student so I can't blow a lot of money on rims, looking to stay under 160bucks per rim or around 550-580 for all 4

believe me, you won't get sick at looking at rims you pay good money for! what you need to do is get them photochopped and then pick one and stick with it

Ive had a couple photochops done(I did one for myself and I had nice96gt do one for me) and I either see someone else get them here in town or I just stop liking them,I might be too damn picky,lol

yea,they are now really growing on me:D I got a question though...Im wanting 18's so what would be a good tire size to go with? I don't want thin sidewalls but not to thick either,something that has some cusion and that will fit and not rub,Im looking to get Kuhmo tires

[jayhawk]

If you go through Wheelmax, you will get Kumho Ecsta 711's, just like mine.

But a good tire size for 18's is 225 40 18. Or 235 35 18, I dunno. I guess fiddle with different sizes on the tire calculator I have "stickied". :D

[VanishingImage]

Well I won't be getting the wheel and tire package,gettng rims and tires at different times,can't get the lump sum quick enough,otherwise Id be waiting til fall:( But I'll mess with that calculator some,this computer doesn't seem to like that site though

[mthegodfather]

I like 5 the best.

[Hodge]

[Goldfever]

I have to agree with jayhawk but mabye that is because my wheels looks exactly the same. haha
