Hey i am looking at buying some rims for my car.. i was thinking 17s just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on any good looking rims out there. I have a 2000 cobalt blue tib. i was thinking along the lines of 5 spoke chrome or something with some black in it



let me know what u think!!

 

Those are pretty cool fing02.gif

Whatever you decide to get, just try to make sure they don't weigh too much otherwise they'll make the car nice to look at but crap to drive.

 

These are the ones i just grabbed:

Fast wheels "Virus" 17"


I believe you can get them in gunmetal as well? Not too sure.

 

those are nice as well im still looking for a while cause i live in canada and there is no way in hell im putting rims on untill summer time comes around and that won't be for like 6 months...

o and about that weight thing.. what do u think would be considered too heavy

 

Lotus: Those rims are pimp! I love em.

Mine are too heavy:



But I think they look 'trip' or whatever you kids say these days, and I didn't care about weight.

Get whatever you think looks cool. If you want to get the best performance out of them, get em as light as you can. Anything lighter than stock is better.
I believe stock is 18lbs, but don't quote me. I'm sure if you search you can find out how much the stock rims weight.

 

Not sure about the weight thing, b/c i don't really think anything you put on them are going to have that drastic of an effect (unless you time yourself, etc)... but then again i have no idea

I'm not putting mine on until spring. I'm going to be buying a winter beater that i can beat the crap out of during winter so there will be no worries about messing them up next winter.

 

Konig Feathers... they have silver black gold

Weight reduction makes a big difference. Ever notice how your car tends to drag when you accelerate, if you have a VERY large person in the car? And after they get out, you just rip away.
Weight reduction straight at the wheels is even more noticeable (so they say).

 

Konig Britelites my man, one of the best lightweight rims you can get.

And cheap.

If I ever get rid of my Traffiks, and I might, it'll be for Brightlites or HotSwaps.

 

The black with chrome lip is far to played out now. I like how they look but everyone has them now. I like the Konigs and there are even a lot of nice ones on ebay that are basically the same with a cheaper name.
