opinions on rims
i was thinking of getteng these wheels for my 04 red 8.
they come in 18x7.5 18x8 and 18x9. will it make a big difference in handling based on size?
also the package comes with falken zx912 tires. has anyone ever used these tires?
Any opinions/input would be very appreciated.

i get the impression that someone cut strips of galvanized metal sheets, spray painted it red, then nailed it onto the black rims when i look at it. and yeah, looks like ribbons... not my type too

If the red straps were removed then they wouldn't be bad. Any other styles your looking at? If its the red spokes your after then I don't think these other enkeis look too bad. The other image is without the straps.
Edit: IMO with Velocity red I would go with an all black wheel of black with polished lip.

You let all these guys change your mind??? It's cool to get feedback, but you've got to go with what you think is right. I like the wheels. I think they would look good on, as long as the red is a match to the VR of your 8. My wheels don't look that great in pictures, but when you see it on the car, they are the right ones. Baller wheels? If they were 20"+ and chrome. Go for what you like.
