These are the rims I have been looking at, but I am not sure about them. They cost a total of $503.36 dollars for all 4. They are said that the colors are "Graphite Machine." (thats the description) They are not shiny (I hate shiny for my car).

I found them at my local Discount Tire Co. here in El Paso, TX

Keep in mind, they would go on the car in my signature.


Let me know what you think of them:









I have also looked at these, but I am still looking around. The Konigs above are easier for me to get (because its local), but I also looked at the ones below by internet.

Bronze Rim


or

Hyper Black Rim


or this last one (I am partial to a blacker rim) For a close up of this black one (this little pic doesn't do it justice) visit this link Black Enkei Rim

I love konigs, but the reasons are a bit played out now.

Try the Konig Brite Lites.

They are 100 bucks per rim, and VERY light.

It's the only other rim I'm really looking at right now. Oh, and not the RED ones.

I have the new Konig Kolor Graphites. No one has these.
Just keep searching and you'll find something unique.

Btw, you missed the last TX meet a few weeks ago. There were 30+ Tibs there.

Ok, first, I can't stand the Bling bling, shiny thing on a rim---at least not for my Tib.

I prefer a black, gunmetal, or machinite, graphite rim. If I get bronze I will have to change my whole idea I have for my car, but thats ok. for now I found these others, please tell me what you think--I am going to go check them out at the shop today. Please keep in mind, I am not going to be racing my car, but I still don't want a heavy rim.

Enkei J10


or

Enkei PKR


and last thise one:

Enkei GF1




I have decided to nix getting the reasons, only because after you guys mentioned that they are played out---I decided to look around town and I realized that you are quite correct on that.

I am kind of fanatical about Enkei rims, but I must say---if I could get the Britelites in black---with no polished shiny aluminum, I would probably get them because they do look quite nice.
