Here are a few pics of my car. I cant decide on which new wheels I want. I like the green and polished/chrome look lol. I really wanted Centerline Storms, but the only place I could even find them had them with the bolt pattern 4.25 and that wont fit. So can you guys give me so opinions on what would look good or what you'd go with. I want light weight and polished or a brilliant silver. So input would be great! Thanks guys!

My personal favorite, if I had the money to spend on rims, would be: Motegi Rt5

I'd go silver, but if you love the shine:

it depends on how much bling you have on the rest of the vehicle if you go with silver also. gunmetal color I feel is a good medium , while black if you have no chrome parts at all.

Some like mine would look pretty cool on your car, I reckon.

They're really basic 10-spokers but I think they add a bit of class. I'm still yet to tire of them anyway smile.gif

I'm in the exact same situation.
I want some shiny polished lightweight rims that look like chrome, without weighing like chrome.

Can you just buy a silver alloy rim, and use some polish on it?

The centerline wheels were perfect. Too bad they don't make them for our cars anymore.
But, you can get them, if you call them and ask them to special order them, they cost $250 a wheel plus shipping though. Way too expensive for me.

I've been looking into these:


i really like those, but they're an off brand and i bet they weigh a ton... 02.gif



those are some nice enkei's, but they're just not shiney enough for me.

would there be a way to polish them?

you can polish just about anything with enough time, and energy laugh.gif
or a big enough drum vibrator LOL.

Id check with some shops that do ano work, they usualy bead blast then polish pieces that are gonna be gloss anoed, and a real nice bright silver is pretty pimp laugh.gif

zoned you would like my kyowas but they don't make hypersilver anymore. they looked straight chrome, especially when you would wash them.

yeah that makes no sense, for that price you can get O.Z. racing Superturismo, then best rim made of the best material in Italy, in the world.
