Default what wheels would go nice with waveline pearl?

i've found 2 so far i like and the price seems good
kyowa kr206 gold and hyper black...i like the gold because they are the farthest away from stock but the hyper black just looks so sexy lolz..maybe you guys can give suggestions too if you don't like the wheels but if possible around the same price range..just had a baby so don't have much money to blow lolz





my car:

No logo, just grill

As for the wheels, I would say gunmetal out of those two options. But I would shop around for something else. Maybe some better quality, and better looking, used rims if you have a lower budget. Just my 2 cents.

If you want to stand out from the norm, go with gold.
If you want to keep it classic, go with hyper black.

Man, I wish I was in Burbank right now so that I can eat at Bela Vista's restaurant!

i know that's what i was thinking...it would really set it apart..but i think hyperblack would still look good it just might look like the stock wheels when they are dirty though lolz! i think these are the only colors that look okay..black with polished lip kinda looks played out especially here in L.A. (sorry for those who have that..

i also heard that you couldn't tell the difference between 17's and 18's is that true? is it worth spending the money to get 18's?

so i can get them scratched up and whine about it later on? i mean for me personally i think its a waste of money unless your car is gonna be a show car or you rarely use your car..i use my car everyday and i know eventually even if i drive slow as hell watch out for loose gravel stay away from sand etc its gonna get jacked up..so why go really expensive? yeah sure you get all the props from your friends and you can stare at them all day and see envious teenagers looking at your rims..but for how long? eventually your gonna get bored of them change them with something else so what's the point? i'm a pretty pratical person if i can get the look i want for a cheaper price then i'll take it..but its really up to the person too...if you can afford it then go for it but i know sooner or later we will get bored of the look and change it with something else...that is why we modify our scions right? people are never contented sad but true

So it's all about the look and not the safety? You use your car as a DD, and you think looks are better than safety. Wow, go right ahead then. Buy your cheap Kyowa wheels. We'll see how long they last you over a better wheel choice.

I'm not saying break the bank or go out and buy Advans, Work, Rays, etc. I'm just saying get a QUALITY wheel. Enkei is known for their quality and they are also pretty cheap money wise. If you scratch or curb one, ohwell. Who cares. It will be a nice enough feeling knowing that you, your wife, AND your baby are more safe.

Cheap wheels bend easily. Good luck if yours does and it blows out and you wreck over them. You will replace your Kyowas eventually because they are crap. So in the long run, tell me this - Is it really "cheaper" to buy Kyowas over a quality brand?

I would just stick with the stock wheels if I were you in the mean time.

Just think about it.

I ran $99 18" Flik Artics in GM for a couple of years. They worked fine for me. I also received many
compliments from people on them. I would tell them the price and their jaw would drop. You can
find decent, inexpensive rims if you research properly.
