So I got pretty bored around 8pm and decided to kill some time with photoshop.
It's now 12:30...
I already have a set of rims, but after seeing how my car looks I'm seriously considering buying another set.
I REALLY like these ones but they are also REALLY expensive. ----- $1,500 w/o tires 02.gif
I believe they are called Desmond Regamaster EVO's (16x7.5)
These would be the cheap alternative the the EVO's ----- $800 w/ tires laugh.gif
Rota Slipstreams (17x7.5)
I also really like these. They are availble in lots of colors and are moderatly priced. ----- $900-1100 w/ tires
Rota Sub-Zero's (17x7.5)
I'm leaning towards the silver/chrome ones.
Here's what I came up with in photoshop. I'm pretty bad so just try to de-focus your eyes, the pics will look better smile.gif
My car now.
With tinted tails and clear corners.
With Rota Slipstreams.
With chrome Rota Sub-Zeros.
Tell me what you guys think fing02.gif

I def like the Rotas better. It gives it a "I'm better than stock but modest and not too flashy" look.
You read my mind man. Thats exactly what I like about the Rotas.

Man, where can you find some of those EVO's! I can only find Ebay knock-offs or 5-lugs
Evo Regamaster
As I mentioned earlier, they are VERY expensive. $1,500 not including tires. I'd probably just go with Rotas if I were you.

No chrome. I like gunmetal and black with blue cars.
Ya it's weird. I usually HATE anything chrome on cars with a burning passion. But for some reason I really like the Sub-Zeros in chrome.
One reason I've been thinking about new rims so much is that I want to widen the stance of my car.
I did ALOT of searching yesterday. I think I'm leaning towards getting a Eastwood fender roller, rolling my fenders, and then going with something like 10-20mm offset or 45mm offset with 30mm spaces on the back and 15mm spacers on the front.
I'm really worried about rubbing and camber issues though, although if I get camber adjustable coil-overs I won't have to worry about camber as much.
I can't stand how my tibby looks with sunken-in wheels sad.gif
