Good Luck!!!

being a fellow gen1 flame red metallic, i have to say i've always though that the rims with the black w/ the polished lip...it looks good on our rides (kwyse, i've liked your exterior setup, and yours MAY have been the lara that inspired me to to feel so certain of this, btw, what's your tint % f/r?)

your car would look kind of like mine.

But for those who love,

Your post was edited to show the pictures instead of a reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyy long URL.

:wink:

My 2 cents: Silver rims (played out for years), painted rims (played out in the 80's), black with polished lip (played out over the past couple of years) , chrome, spinners, short and fat, LEDs, DUBs, Donks, yada yada yada ....

Well Gee, I guess we're running out of possible combinations. Unless you want to be a trend setter and go with a plaid pattern, then I'd suggest you select which one looks best to you.

Personally, I think red and black is awesome. Most importantly, it doesn't look like an OE wheel. Silver ones tend to blend in with everyone's factory rims.

i agree with the red and black, who cares about everyone else... there have already been at least 34905348 people before every person that claims they did it first to do it, so who cares... cant go wrong with black and red, looks mean!

I live silver wheels... Although black is nice... Silver makes the car stand out just a little bit more..

but either one is a good one...
also ASA wheels are pretty decent... but for the same amount the money you may be able to get a better set of wheels.
