New rims, Lkey or No Likey? Please help

[Sb13104]

Ok, i know this has been posted a billion times but i would like your personal opinions please. I need new tires so I decided why not just get new rims and tires. I don't want to spend 5-6 hundred on tires when i can get 17's with tires to my door for $700. I know it's the cheap way, but it's what i want. All i ask from you is if you like these or not. I am VERY low on funds right now so i found these bad boy. I did a half a$$ photoshop and put them on a pic of my car. Tell me what you think.

Thanks
Sam

Looks good to me.

I'm not a big fan of white rims on a red car but they are not bad.

pretty nice..just get the drop done because itll look really weird and half-a$$ with 17's on a 2nd gen with really lo pro tires..you might get away with it on a 1st gen but not so much on a 2nd gen..

Those look nice. I think they would be even nicer in silver but those aren't to bad at all.

Thanks alot everybody for the responses. Damn you guys are quick to respond. I wasn't too sure about the white either, that's why i posted. These only come in white. I found tire the wheel package for $699, so i can't complain. Delivered to my, door mounted and balanced. All for that price. I'm still looking though.

ps... i would really like white rims with the red ring in the middle. Like the konig toxxins. I can't find those anywhere though.

some red cars can pull it off. others look like a candy cane
I dont think that photoshop pulled it off

Ok, my tires i have now are 225/50/R16. I love how wide they are. If i get 17x7 rims, what size tires do you reommend?

 

[FourG63 97GST]

I have 225/45/17 on my 17x7
going wider wouldn't be too good for handling on a 7" rim

Ok.... after alot of searching i found these in silver. any better? these come with a choice of 205/40/17, 215/45/17, or 235/45/17 tires.

They are the Exel BK-7. I attached a pic of just the rim. Tell me what you guys think.

Thanks alot
Sam

ps. I also photoshopped these onto the car if you need to see. Same rims, just silver.

i like really like the white. if you don't mind cleaning them once a week then go with them. if not then the silver ones look good too.

In case anyone was following or cares, this morning i got my 17" Motegi MR7's. I got them in white. I like them. I wasn't too sure untill i saw them on the car. Thanks for all the help. I'll try and post pics in my gallery soon.
