New loser blue pics

Just got some new rims put on. I wanted to get some rims that weren't 5 or 6 spokes cuz I see a lot of them on here and quite frankly, the thick 5 spoke design just resembles the stock wheels. So I wanted something a little different, but gunmetal wasn't really what I intended. But for these rims, they only came in gunmetal or bronze, so I decided to try something new, so here they are. The pictures doesn't really capture the brightness of the wheels. They are Wedsport SA-70 on stock tires.

Hey thanks for the great comments! I wasn't sure about the gunmetal color cuz I don't like how it makes the rims look dark, but after seeing the posts, I feel better about the choice. I actually didn't think that gunmetal was that dark! Someone said that now the car doesn't look so much like a girl's car! I forgot what offset they are, but they are 18 staggered. The rear tires were stretched to fit. I do however think I need to lower it.

Yeah, darker wheels are usually not my thing, but dang those look nice. That blue ring is just way too slick. Nice choice man.

Looks good. You couldn't have gone wrong with either color. Because there's no lip, the 18" doesn't looks small.

i was looking at these a while back, & if i recall correctly, they are about 19 lbs. not sure though.

i really like your set up. the first thing i thought of that i might try to address would be to try to color match the blue painted ring on the lip, if possible, but it is already pretty close & probably wouldn't be worth it.

Looks great!!
