In anticipation of my car coming in, the first things I plan to do is change the wheels. I'm looking around for a cheap set that's not going to bust my wallet, and look good at the same time. I noticed these wheels, it's look nice and clean, and are available in a hyper silver finish or black inside the spokes.


I Photoshopped the rims on the car, but I didn't have a good pic of the RS 2.0 to use, so I used what I can get quick. It was a rush job, but what do you think?

Available in 15x7, 16x7, 17x7, 18x8 - 4x100 and it's got a 40mm offset.

18" would look rad!

I think some black wheels would look sick! IMHO 5 spoke wheels look the best. Im not liking these too much, but to each is own!

Well, My only problem with a lot of the wheels (this one included) is the thin spokes, which will highlight the drum brakes in back. I'd try to get a wheel that will cover most of the drum...It 'aint a pretty sight, IMHO.

I like the looks of those wheels A LOT.

I think tall thin spokes look exceptional on the boxes!

Or you could paint the calipers just for looks. I think there's a DIY for that in the tech articles section.

Looks good. I like the black lips that seem to be gaining popularity. i also like the 8 spoke pattern cuz it's splits well with the four-lug pattern. My eye has a terrible time when looking at a 5-spoked wheel and four-bolt pattern. It just doesn't look right to me.

I'm not talking about the caliper, I'm talking about the look of the drum brake behind a nice wheel. Painted or not, a drum brake is a drum brake...

I was contemplating getting these wheels too....wadya think?

I actually like the first set...I myself was looking at a set of foose rims. But I don't have photoshop to play with anything to see what they would look on the solar yellow

both of those are a--! LOL sorry just my $.02.

Keep in mind, I'm looking for a SIMPLE, inexpensive wheel. I'll be driving the car every day to and from work on pothole ridden roads, I'm hoping to not have to change tires and wheels every month, but if I do, would get a wheel that is inexpensive to replace.

yo them first rims is hot. i drive through the BQE and through williamsburg alot with my 18's and let me tell you you're going to feel how screwed up the roads are

Sorry bro but I would say its a no go on both but if you like i guess go for it... but i like the 2nd one better that the 1st

I like the first rim a lot! It would look nice in chrome too!

If you want it to look like that photoshop, it's gotta be 18's.

Peace
