my thoughts on wheels...
1. i dont like a lot of junk in the center. takes away from the cooling & coolness of the brakes behind them.
2. weight should be the main factor in choosing wheels.
3. dont make them huge. you dont want rubber bands for tires if you want to keep your rims in good shape, plus a little sidewall flex is a good thing and you wont get that if you dont have a sidewall. not to mention the bigger you go = the more weight.
4. i dont like the look of wheels that have the spokes extend to the outermost part of the rim. looks goofy to me.
5. 5 spoke rims are the best, preferably in a dark color. i would have gone bronze on my car too but the color was not available and the deal on my wheels was to good to pass up. im still considering painting them.
6. if the budget allows it forged>everything else. wink1.gif
7. chrome = no bueno, in all cases. polished MAYBE if you need the bling, but i dont like it.

If I were you, I'd stay well away from the gold rims (Bronze maybe but not gold chrome). Darker rims will look great on your car... black, gunmetal or shadow-chrome.
Is there a negative side to gold chromed rims?

^^^^^ lmao.gif gold chromed rims? so like they look like gold?
like this color?
omfg, there is a HUGE problem with that color.. lemme start, color= FUGLYer than my poo; would weigh a ton, hope you like your acceleration to be nonexistant; FUGLY.. i dont think there is a car on this earth, that a gold chromed rim would look good on.
