Default IIP with ASA KA3 rims opinions needed

Well i am about 90% sure I want the IIP, but not sure on rims yet. I think for a start its the only major upgrade I would look to add to my car. I checked out tiretrack.com and found a cool combo. the ASA KA3 rims with a slight blue insert in the rim that I felt matched the IIP very well. Just wanted the opinion of others on this.

Thanks, pics below






thanks

very nice. I like the rims. Although if i was going to criticize, i'd say the only complaint would be that the rims look too much like the stock pattern. But I like the factory wheels. and these look good too.

Not here to down grade the rims. But they look like stock. I say just bring the factory wheels to a body shop and have them paint the center part fof the rim. Makes no sense to spend all that money on a wheel that almost looks identical to stock. I'm not knocking them just trying to save u some money.

looking really quick i agree, they look close to the stock wheels. also, i'm not a fan of chrome wheels on cars like this. they work on luxury cars but not on cars like the tc.

ya i do think they look alot like the stock other then the chrome and the center. I just thought the blue/blue combo with the car would be sweet. I will look into the suggestion of having the stock painted. And can anyone recomend some good rims sites for me?

for some reason i honestly dont like those rims, i do like the stocks one though, maybe cause these are chrome and im not a fan of chrome, maybe if they had a lip they would look much better..i own an IIP and the only rims going on my car would have to be the axis mod sevens in the glossy black with the maxxis lip or someting that looks like those, i think the rich dark blue and some 18s glossy black with a nice shiny lip would look killer on the IIP
