Need some opinions on these rims

Need some opinions on these rims

Postby BadAngel » Tue Aug 12, 2008 2:34 pm

Well today I was walking to my car in a parking lot, and I noticed these rims that I liked, so I took a mental note of the manufacturer (as i often do) and looked them up later. I was just wondering if anyone had any input or opinions on the quality and or compatibility of these rims. any input is appreciated!

I never heard of it..... but it's looks good, the only thing the offset is too high..... and I hope is not heavy though, coz it's metal not alloy lol

Those rims looks so bland and generic, I saw a lot of cars black rims with chrom lip before. They would look like steelies from afar.

But the price right is so low.

45mm is not bad, our stock rims is 45mm.......but it's tuck in, I have 19"s with 42 offset and lowered no rubbing what so ever..... :wink: try to get lower mm so it will stick out just a bit.......to have that European look lol
