I personally think your car looks great as it is.. simple clean look.. other rims i dunno looks sort of ebayish...just my 2cents... have fun shopping for wheels.. ;)

I personally don't like the ebay china wheels, but if I had to choose, I would say RIM 2. Black on black with a polished lip all the way!!!

I think you should remove RIM3 from this list. If you want a clean look keep RIM1. RIM2 will give the car a more aggressive look.

I was once on the same boat trying to choose between silver and black rims. So what I did was installed 2 blacks on the driver's side, and two silvers on the other side :D, drove her to a friend's house and we stared at the car for a good number of minutes going from one side to the other hilarious

^ I had those, I think they are SSRs, I say a car like that deserves a little better. HREs, Champions, would be the way to go.

deckman Apr 7, 2008 01:07 PM

I'd go black for your car.

erubin Apr 7, 2008 01:11 PM

Yeah those are SSR GT3's on the yellow aero, but the one in his 3rd picture up top looks like a knock off version. Although the style is similar I would still go with authentic SSR's than the knock offs. Especially since SSR's are not pricy to begin with. And SSR makes that wheel with dark chrome centers that look pretty cool. I had these exact same wheels in 19's when I bought the car and just recently sold them and swapped them out for Work Brombachers. Personally I like the mesh look a lot better.

Here is mine before with the SSR's and the after with Brombachers. So you can get somewhat of an idea of what it will look like between mesh and split spokes.

Between your oem wheels and the 3 you posted, i would just stick with the oem, they look clean.

@hblocal

which sizes of tire did you use on the ssr rims? Looks very nice...

Do you think the replica will make such a clean look?


@rawmen

thank you for the great pics!

are those 18` or 19` ssr rims?
