Rim Ideas for Black 2Gb TSi


So here's the lowdown. I got my black TSi a couple months ago and the mod bug is starting to set it. But with 162k sum odd miles on the motor I'm not really wanting to push my luck with performance mods yet because aside from a tstat she's been an angel so far.

Long story short the rims have some not so nice curb rash on them from the previous owner so I figure I'd get some release there. I've looked around the forums a bit but haven't found any I'm too crazy about that won't break the bank so I'd really appreciate it if you guys could offer some suggestions (I think I'm partial to 5 spoke) Pics would be great.

Thanks guys!

try browsing tirerack.com

you can even see what they will look like on your car.

I like the Enkei and Kosei lines myself.

Alot of stock DSM wheels are excellent choices. Try thinking about maybe powdercoating some stockies

I'd try to get the rims fixed. 2gb Talon rims are hard to find and unique.

I think these are pretty sick, maybe the 18" for your ride.

Just start searching around tirerack.com or ebay or google until you find one you like. Rims are personal preference, and everyone will give you a different answer. Only you can pick one you like. And when you find the right rims, you will definitely know.
