What Rims should I get now?

Postby Solorange » Sat Jun 25, 2005 12:55 pm

I found out that the racing hart evolution c2 wheels are discontinued. I had my mind set on those wheels for a long time. Kindof disappointing. But now i have no clue on what wheels I want. I really like the mesh wheels like the c2 and im a big fan of five spoke wheels. I wouldn't mind getting some five spokes in black with a chrome lip. Anyway im kindof interested in the racing hart evolution c5s. But i think they are a bit pricey and i saw some SR Racing wheels called the SR5's. I like them in the black finish. Another consideration is the lexus is300 wheels in chrome or gunmetal. What do you guys think? Or do you have any other suggestions? Im pretty much willing to look at anything now.

Yeah I like those, but aren't they expensive? I am trying to keep everything in the 1500 ball park area including tires.


I was looking at those sr5's again on the net and i realized i dont think they would look so good after all on a solara. But Now i like the SR7 in black with the polish lip. What do you think about those.

Yeah the sr7's would look sweet, but there's nothing special about them in my opinion. You mean these right.

Oh my bad you said SR5's. Actually I've seen a Solara with them. The middle looks to small for the Solara....in my opinion

Yeah i dont think the sr5's will look good either. But I do like the sr7s you posted. I like those asa's in black a lot too! Ill have to find out how much they cost. Ill post a picture of my car shortly. I just have to figure out how to do it.

Nice..finally...but I'm not sure about black wheels with that color. To each is own but some chrome or hyper black might look better. Try photoshopping some rims and see what you like. Personally the chrome BBS's would look sweet... :D 8)

Oh dont worry it will be dropped first. My teins and tokicos will be in this week. And once i get the time it will be dropped. Im just trying to figure out what kind of wheels i need. All i know is that they are going to be 18s.

Chris~ I dont have photoshop but , ive seen a acura cl in red rolling around town with black wheels and polished lip. It looks pretty damn good. But yeah i would consider chrome too. I also think it would look good cause of the tint. I will try to get a new picture up soon!
