Time for rims...I don't knwo what to buy!!

Blk95gs · 06-26-2002, 04:08 PM

Well, it's time for me to drop $1500-2000 on some rims and tires. I have a few things decided already. Definately using Toyo rubber, I want 18's, but I'm stuck between either Konig Tantrums or Racing Hart C5's. My car is black, and I don't know if I want gunmetal or not, because I don't know how it looks on a black car. Anyone have their .02 cents on this? Any other rims you think look sick?

well here is a pic of a 97 w/ 18" gunmetal OZ's. I really like the way he did this, but if I had a black car I would go with a silver rim

If you are gonna get konig tantrums, save yourself a few hundred $$ and buy motegi mr7's. They may weigh a little more but in my opinion they look a little better even though its basically the same style rim.

Thanks for that pic, i really like the agressive look with the gunmetal, but silver deos stand out a lot....but if you think about it, no one would be able to see the brake dust on gunmetal..heh

Yea, i was getting the motegis, but i wasnt sure if anyone knew about them, so i used the tantrums just so people would get the picture

did you ever think about the racing hart z5000's? i love em.

Blk95gs · 06-26-2002, 09:24 PM

i love all racing harts, but io dont really have the kind of money to dish out like 3 grand for rims...i wish though!

Blitzed95Eclips · 06-26-2002, 11:58 PM

u said racing harts c5 were an option...those are same price as z5000

Blk95gs · 06-27-2002, 05:29 PM

i know, but theres some different brand that makes the same look...i dunno who, but i just used both names for like general pictures

That's why I got my gunmetal MR-7's

OK, if you are going to buy wheels and tires and don't want to waste your money, go to www.wheelmax.com. They probably have the wheel you want and they have proxes. I bought a pair of 17's with Kuhmo Supra Ecstas for 950 shipped to my house mounted, balanced, and ready to put on my car. 18's aren't that much expensive I don't think.

what rims and tires do u have silver gs?

curtisimo · 07-03-2002, 01:26 AM

get something with open design. those mesh wheels or ones with to many spokes look to crowded

Blk95gs · 07-03-2002, 01:28 AM

I'm 90% sure about 18" Motegi MR-7's in gunmetal. Still can't let go on the Racing Hart C5's though.

Try www.1010tire.com I goy my white Motegi 17'' rims with yokohama tires, balanced and ready to go, for under a grand. And they even throw in those thrifty nifty tire flys that people steal in one day. *smiles retardedly*
