My tires are getting pretty worn out. So Im going to need new tires and Im going to get wheels too. Im sticking with 15s because of weight, cost, and look. Im thinking about the rota slipstreams here: http://machiii.net/wheels/Rota_Slipstream.html

I was thinking bronze or black. Here is my car:



It is tinted, lowered and has a carbon fiber hood. Also I now have black windsheild wipers. Those are the things that change the look of the car.

Any opinions on color or better wheel? Thanks

 

I dunno. Probably stay silver.

Since they're stock, if painted black they'll look like wheels that need caps.

 

No Im getting new wheels soon http://machiii.net/wheels/Rota_Slipstream.html. I was thinking getting the black or bronze. What do you guys think?

 

I like bronze. Its different but im not sure if the slips can pull them off. If you getting bronze, get the sports bronze, you can see diff tones when lookin at an angle.

 

for blue body I would get bronze wheels, whould be hot, or maybe some gun metal

moving to exterior

 

I think bronze would be better as well. 16" would look better though and I am sure that you could find some nice looking and not so heavy 16's

 

Yea 16s may look better, but I autox once a month or so. So an extra 2.5 lbs a wheel is 10 real pounds which I work hard to lose in the car. And 10 lbs unsprung is about 30 lbs sprung or something like that. Thanks for the responces.

Edit: Sorry it was in the wrong section. I fell in love with the Suby blue and bronze. Which is why I thought about the bronze. Black always seems so nice and clean when I see it.

 

Black rims always look nice off the car, but not always on. I would go silver or maybe bronze with the blue paint. I'm not a big fan of the suby combo blue/bronze. The black/bronze is hot though!

 

Hey man, yeah don't go with black rims. they would just look ricer.

I'm sorry to say that slipstreams are one of the ugliest rims in my opinion. nothing really attractive about them, and they look worse than stock rims. tucked in spokes make them look so small. they look like cookie cutouts!!

please go with my advice, get some new rims and tire package. go for a more exotic ferrari look. the longer the spokes are the more agressive your car will look. i know you autoX and want the least amount of weight from a rim, but if you're going to buy all new rims and tires you're not going to gain much from stock alloys.

 

hmmm. i really like the gun metallic ones w/ the polished lip
