Default your thoughts please

Here's a link to a set of rims I was looking at as possible replacements to the stock rims. I'd love your thoughts and comments.

When you buy wheels, make sure you check the weight of the new wheels. It can make a big difference to the suspension. Unsprung weight. Lighter is better. The silver speedsters look good.

Chrome..............nahhhhh. Will make the car look like a pimp ownes it. Try spinners (not)!!!!!!!

Cool Re: your thoughts please

These are both too "ricer" looking;

Watch out for rims and tires so large, that you have to install the tire / wheel from underneath the car because it simply won't fit in the wheel well going in from the side.
