Rims or No Rims?

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 MAG USA Post Number: 9508 Registered: Jul-06 | Well yesterday, I got a flat on the NJ Turnpike and its time to get new tires for my car. Talked to my dad and he said he will buy the tires if I buy the rims.  Thats what my car looks like right now. If I do get rims, I want them to be black/dark grey or the off-white color. Examples of what I'm thinking: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2639330 (the background picture of the TC) I don't have time right now to search for some rims as I'm doing a project. just wanted to get opinions of whether or not you guys think I should get rims or not. Tomorrow I'll get some more ideas of rims I'm looking at. |

I wouldnt spend the money to get different rims. But how are the other 3 tires? Are they new tires or originals or what? If the other 3 needed to be replaced soon also, I might say get a whole new set then. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 MAG USA Post Number: 9509 Registered: Jul-06 | The other 3 are fine. But I'm at the 50k miles mark and my dad thinks we might as well just update all the tires and get all new ones. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 MAG USA Post Number: 9511 Registered: Jul-06 | I think 18" would be good. 19" would be the biggest I would want. They come stock with 17"s so I think 18"s would look nice. |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 4360 Registered: Jun-05 | i would go w/ 18's. 19's are to much rim and you get bounced around to much. I would go with black rims and chrome on the lip of the rim. thats what i have and it looks awesome on a black car http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?wheelbrand=Privat&wheelmodel=Netz+-+Black ^my rims |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 MAG USA Post Number: 9522 Registered: Jul-06 | Well just an update but I will not be getting any rims at this moment. Something came up and now it would make no sense for me to spend money on rims. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20710 Registered: Oct-05 | 18s with bigger tires > 19s with thinner tires. the 18s can still look good as the 19s yanks. the problem with 19s is that if you hit a pot hole, it will bend due to having thinner tires. yes i know the 18s can bend too but not as easy as the 19s. not to mention the ride is much better. next rims i am getting will be 18s. and also fyi, the guy that bought my 19s used it for a few days and didn't like the ride so he took it off. lol. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20712 Registered: Oct-05 | lol wassup gus. your speakers are still sitting at my house doing nothing. lol. anyways yanks i know if you do different sizes front and back you won't be able to rotate your tires. but its a little sacrifice to have a sick looking car. |
