Rims ?

[FerrariChic4u02]

What do you guys think about certain rims ? Do you like chrome rims...20's, 22's small rims...I personally like Chromes but the size depends on what kind of car we're talking about...

[Ghalos]

Hmmm...I like some "pizazz" that chrome gives, but sometimes it's just too much and looks gawdy...Like on the SUV's out nowadays, I'm so frickin' sick of these, these, styless boxes with more silver than fort frickin' knox...On older American "boatmobiles" the chrome was cool, and stylish...Now it's just, "YO I's GOTS MO' CHRIZOME THAN ALL YA"LLSZ@!"

As far as personal taste, I'd go with anywhere from 17 to 19 inchers on a car, have some darker 5 split spoke sporting rims, maybe a little gloss to them. I generally prefer some of the more understated rims...Though some of the excess gawdy stuff is so outlandish I laugh.

[Fernando]

I like'em massive 20+" and chomed on trucks, SUVs, and box Chevys.
I like'em painted white or black; or brushed aluminum on sport compacts. I dislike it when the number of spokes isn't a mutiple of the number of bolts, unless of course the bolts are covered by a center cap. Cars w/ 4 bolt patterns look good with 4, 8, or 12 spoke rims, IMO. Cars w/ 5 bolt patterns look good w/ 5 or 10 spoke rims, IMO.

[SubaruKid37]

I dont like Chrome rims, I like carbon racing wheels like on the Lotus etc... or simple silver alloys, nothing too fancy...

[FerrariChic4u02]

I think big rims are necessary on Escalades...But like nothing too flashy :lol:

[dark_hunter]

18' or 19' Charcoal rims :)

[Rouin]

chrome is nasty. reminds me of urban "pimped-out" escalades. ghetto.

i personally like the japanese touring styling rims, not too huge 17's or 18's if the car is bigger, gold, bronze, silver, or gunmetal, with a lip.

[FerrariChic4u02]

I really don't like Gold rims...I don't like gold at all...It just looks tacky to me....

[dark_hunter]

I really don't like Gold rims...I don't like gold at all...It just looks tacky to me....I use to like them when I was a kid, but now I find them stupid

[M Technik]

Anything which is inspired by the Japanese Tuning Scene. Rays, Regamaster, Advan, all of these are awesome! Gunmetal grey, brushed silver, gold or even white ones are my faves.

[jimkk29]

A nice set of 17"-18" would do it for me. Preferably OZ or BBS.

[CarRocker]

Nice 18" or 19" inch rims. No chrome, and not too many spokes.

Same here but i especially like deep dish rims
I like widebody cars so thats probly got sumthing to do with it...
Gold 5 spoke Volk racing GT-C 20's for me... 8)

[Ghalos]

Yeah, I gotta agree, some of the deep rims are achingly good looking on some cars...
But generally I'm a fan of the racing type ones, basic, strong...etc...

[iplaygod]

20inch chrome asanti lexani's, kyrstals or alligators are my favourite wheels by far. i also quite like the wolfrace matrix's.

mainly depends on the arches/ car/ kitting etc.

I personally don't like deep-dish rims, they look too 'bling-bling' for me, but there are a selected few that do look half-decent. And some widebody cars don't need deep-dish rims, depends how much you embiggen the guards.

no offence, but bling-blings the way to go for cruisers, but otherwise its a a fair point

[M Technik]

Yeh maybe, but I'd still take a set of Rays TE37 over any deep-dish for crusin.

do you not even like, say lexani asanti alligator/krystal/vegas/zebra or wolfrace matrix's, chrome vaults, spinners etc. there must be one set of chromes youd take over rays te37's for a cruiser...also rays te37's would only suit particular cars, against a huge selection of chrome wheel

[SubaruKid37]

spinners suck, i saw them on a transit van, and that just ruined them for ever for me, and Chromes suck, dont care what they're on, uless its on that H2 i saw at Zolder :wink:

[iplaygod]

i noticed that aswell, spinners are cool but they only seem to appear on terrible cars...i must agree, but chromes look great on a lot cars, like modified civic, chromes look great on those.

[Hydraulic]

I hate it when I see someone with thin 5-spoke rims where u can see the dirty break calipers insider... makes me sick.
I like alloy rims and i like to see white rims on some cars, like suped-up ricers
.

dude cruisers would get abused for ridin' on 3 spokes...

[M Technik]

I personally don't like three-spokes normally, but these really look kickin on JDM cars like the Series VI RX-7. Especially when they have a darker colour rim....beautiful.

[M Technik]

See? Well, I like them...they aren't exaclty the same model, but close enough.

[iplaygod]

they do look quite nice on that car, but i'd be surprised if they suited a lot of cars..

[M Technik]

Yeh I know, but I just looked at one on the RX-7 and I fell in love. I wouldn't mind those wheels on the R32 GT-R or the Integra Type-R.

[iplaygod]

Don't push your luck dude...stick with the rx-7, no way would they go on a skyline or integra type-r

Plenty of three-spoke wheels look kickin in the GT-R! You obviously haven't seen them...they look insane. But yes, I might be pushin it with the Type-R.

[iplaygod]

i prefer simple looks, rather than insane on the rims...whatever tickle's your fancy mate

[RB_26DETT]

Agree totally.

[dark_hunter]

I see nothing wrong with them

hahahahaha yeah seriously. "i prefer simple designs" and that insano rim is one of your favorites. those other two you posted were in no way simple either. those are almost the busiest wheels i've ever seen!

[puggles89]

i like a bunch of rims. but i dont like MOST crome rims. like the bling thing on page 3. omg way to much crome for my liking. i like the gun metal, and brushed rims.

straight urban chrome, do any of you guys like shadow chrome?
also i quite like charcoal rims, like the ones on the evo viii mr 05

[foresterfan]

yeh i agree, i like dem rims on the evo8 FQ340 MR - the gunmetal ones, they lk so gd wiv da car in gunmetal as well

i once saw a guy wiv an impreza who chains the wheels to his car when it was parked...

[M Technik]

What a fool...

Yes, gunmetal grey wheels do look an absolute beast, but often look pretty poor when teamed up with a very dark colour, like a black or a brown. Gunmetal-grey rims have to on a bright coloured car to maximise it's full crowd-pleasing potential!

Mm...they look pretty slick. Love the carbon fibre center cap.

[iplaygod]

nice but you never know what rim looks nice on what car, i like the cf centre cap aswell though :P its something rare

[M Technik]

I think all new-gen O.Z Racing rims have that CF cap. Not 100% sure, but I think its right.

[iplaygod]

i don't think so, i've never heard that before anyway

[M Technik]

i don't think so, i've never heard that before anyway

Whoops, they don't. :oops:

But a few of those rims do have the CF centre.

[iplaygod]

there are a few, and they do look great, but it shouldnt be done on all new-gen o.z. rims, i think they'd be better if they were done as something special

[M Technik]

Uh huh, you're right iplaygod. I just found out that O.Z Racing also make wheels for like SUV's and stuff. I pretty sure that off-roaders dont want their precious CF centres screwed.

[iplaygod]

i certainly wouldn't anyway :roll:

[ViperF556]

I dont like Chrome rims, I like carbon racing wheels like on the Lotus etc... or simple silver alloys, nothing too fancy...

Same for me, some nice CF rims, preferably OZ's.

Sweet ass rims. Love em'! :lol:

[Convertible_Guy]

I personally think white anodized rims look best on white cars
black rims are kinda ugly .. no offense
and the chrome look is getting redundant nowadays...
~gallos posted "YO I's GOTS MO' CHRIZOME THAN ALL YA"LLSZ@!" ~

sorry just had to let it out

[puggles89]

I dont think that all anodized white rims are the best for all white cars.
and the crome look is still cool to many people. and yes a few dont like crome but your statement is not going to change our minds. when you want to let something out make sure you use IMO becuase I dont think you are stating a fact.

[Convertible_Guy]

muhhh bad.
