Help me pick some rims

by **methyl mike** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 5:13 pm

Ok here are a couple maybes, my car is red, lowered no body kit nor will i be getting one, im looking for a black rim with a polished lip, the deeper the better. ALso weight is a factor, im trying to stick with a light rim. IM really considering the axis reverb, but i like the lip of the tsw. Opinions welcome, btw what the hell is hyper-black? Is that black or not?Some of these images will pop up, some you click its a link etc.

I'd go for the hiro's... its a nice design with a deep lip... I wouldnt know of the weight though... Im assuming youre going for 18's since its lighter?

hyperblack is a darker silver... its NOT black... its almost like gunmetal but I think its a little lighter... most rim companies consider gunmetal and hyper black the same...

mine are hyper black

Ohhh ok. So would hyper-black thruxtons look pretty bomb you think? On a red solara mind you. I havent found the hiros in black for sale yet! Damnit...You guys like the thruxtons at all?

Its all in your taste man.. I actually dont like those tsw's... the lip makes the rim look hella small like their 16s :-?

That jetta is a good example...

what size you going for anyway

18's, Im not putting on a bodykit so I want 18's and low pros. Hey ive seen you on 101 n, exiting on great america in the morning i think. Was that you?

I would say powder coat it the color of your car.
Powder coat the spokes but leave the lip chrome.
That what i would do someday wheneva i can get the ACE Sypder rims.
If i eva get those rims i would get the spokes powder coated DWP or white and leave the lip chrome.

Hey will a 2 or 3 pound per rim difference be noticible? The hiros 18x8.5 are 22 pounds, the reverbs are 19 each.

by **StockSolara** » Fri Aug 19, 2005 6:19 pm

Our stocks are like 19 pounds already

Not all of the fixed up solara's are on the forum... even though there are only a few (more growing as the kids get solara's as pass-me-downs), only some of us post here... they could be lurking around, but when i do see other solara's in sj, they all hate... and we dont have much meets anymore cuz we all getting sikk of each other lol jk biyachhhesss!! but we just randomly meet up nowadays rather than having an official meet... you missed out on a good Toyota Meet with BayAreaMatrix... if u wanna join some of our random meet-ups let me know

SO BACK ON SUBJ... what rims you gettin man?!?!??
