So as a birthday present I may be getting some new rims for my 8! But I don't know which ones I want. :/ Help me out here! So here's my favorites so far. My car is Sunlight Silver with a black lip, black emblems and black tail lights.


Gunmetal MB Weapon 18x8


Black w/ Red Stripe Konig Zero 18x8



Gunmetal TSW Thruxtons 18x8

 

none of those.

 

Ok, then throw some suggestions, since you should be able to tell the style im going for. 18x8 obviously. And Gunmetal or black.

 

What is your budget

 

Trying to keep it between $400-800 for the whole set. No tires.

 

more towards the 400 or the 800 ? cuz for 400 for all 4 your not going to get much

 

Haha i know. Thats why anywhere between $400-800 is fine with me. The first two out of those were $600 for the set.

 

If your gonna choose out of them 3....I would go with the 3rd set.

 

zach: you should edit your first post to include a poll so people can vote.

If I have to pick between the 3, I go for the 1st one.

 

why are you set on 18x8? seems ridiculus to spend money on what you already have.

 

Also take into account weight. Not a good idea to go heavier than stock rims...

 

If I had to pick from those 3, I would go with the first. Also, I agree with Ross - you have 18x8, so why get another set? I'd go with 19s if I was you.

Do not go with the black/red combo on a silver - it really only looks good on black or red 8s.

If I might add a 19" suggestion in that price range - http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

 

I was thinking 19's but I just put on H&R Race Springs on my car, which provided a really low drop. I'm worried about it rubbing :/ Thanks for all the feedback!

 

thats why there are different profile tires. I dont rub

 

Then I have to buy new tires!! See where I'm going with this?! Hahah.

Does anyone have pictures of an SS with Black Rims with red lip? I'd like to see how it looks

 

^Listen to this man.

 

^ i rub... feels great

i recommend these. my new track wheels!
17x9 16 lbs. $196 each!
cheaper tires too

 

dont do it! save ur money and use it on other mods! those rims will only hurt your performance!

 

Aghhhh! :/

Do you guys like the TSW Trackstars?

 

My vote is for the MB Weapons in gunmetal.

If I were you, I would keep my eyes out for some used wheels in your price range. Better to spring for used quality wheels IMHO.

 

Pat those are tight! whered you find them?

 

i would chose MB or the TSW more torwards the TSW

 

or how about a smarter road. instead of wasting your $400 - $800 on cheap wheels (that won't make your car look better), spend it on something else!! since you have lowering springs, whynot add a lip, or a spoiler, or an in-dash dvd player.

if you're gonna buy wheels, buy the correct size and offset. and go with a brand name wheel...

 

^Listen to what he says too.

 

^ Werd,,,,
$400-800 can get just about any NA mod you want,, COBB AP, Exhaust, Sways and Strut braces,,,
Budget wisely...
