Another "which rims should I get?" thread :D

[fishdonotbounce]

Alright guys so I've been fooling around with getting some new rims since these are getting a bit old. I've got a buddy who wants to buy the rims I got right now so I may be in the market for some new ones. You can see my car in the siggy so post up your suggestions. Oh and I would like to keep this to a max of 150 per rim and the size would be 17x7. Thanks guys and gals!

These are cool. I've always liked wheels where the spokes come all the way out to the lip; makes them look bigger than they are...

 

[fishdonotbounce]

yea that's another reason that I decided to go with a new wheel. Plus it's a hell of a lot easier to clean... getting inbetween the spoke and lip is bad.

It seems like they are +40 offset though, is that gonna pose a problem?

 

[mp3-79bronco]

i have 17x7 konig incidents with 40mm offset on my mp3...

they rubbed on bumps in the rear but i used a bat to roll my fenders a little bit and they haven't made a sound since.. but i hear the sedans rear fender wells are like 2-3 mm bigger...

Hyper Black (gunmetal) PIAA SportMesh 18 x 7.5 48mm offset w/ Pirelli PZero Nero M+S's. These were going on my MSP, but it has been sold. I'm running the same setup in Hyper silver with a polished lip currently on my P5. I'm almost $1700 into the setup, but I'll get them to your door for $1200 shipped - I need these gone ...

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Those are beautiful but 1200 is waaay too high for me rght now. Plus I just realized I wouldn't be able to do it even if you just sold the rims by thmselves since I will be reusing the tires off the ones I have right now. Those are sooooo nice though man. So nice. I wish.....

No prob my man, keep searchin', you'll find the right wheels. I REALLY wanted these PIAA's: http://www.modacar.com/products///PSR2PW/PIAA+Super+Rozza+2-pc+Whe.html

Too much coin for me ...

Good to hear Move was (still is) crazy.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Haha well I hope you get settled in real well man and best of luck with everything.

On another note, I found this just now, What do you think?

Looks cool, but my research steered me away from Wheel Max due to quality and customer service issues ...

[justanothermp5]

no to the last ones, i hate those style rims
everyone has them it looks like

get those bronze ones u posted the 1st time, they look pretty sweet

 

[Bala]

On a side note - Edge Racing is awesome, you can't go wrong ordering from them (I saw a couple pics in this thread from them)

 

[justanothermp5]

wheelsnext isnt so good
i ordered my rims from them and they had like no rims i liked in stock and all of them said in stock on the website
so finally after about 2 months they called me and told me i couldnt get the rims, so i ordered diff ones that they had and get them like 2 weeks later

basically before u order, call just to make sure there in stock and u dont waste your time like i did
