Default Ok so i would like some opinions...

For those who don't know i've been looking into getting new wheels, now since i'm not going to be racing my car much i'm not really concerned with racing for these they're going to be my show wheels. but i've been stuck on which wheel i should buy so i'm looking for everyones opinion who's seen my car to vote for which wheel they think would look best on my car, both wheels are about the same price so that really isn't a factor either and i've also blocked off the names so unless you've been looking at alot of wheels lately you probably won't know them so here we go!

Wheel one
Wheel two

So just let me know your opinions and please don't move it over to the tc wheel section cause they haven't seen my car in person!

Ok camie I have not see your car, so are you sure you want a black inside?

So after that question I prefer the second option, but the first one is much more different than that of the factories option wheels. the second one looks nice though, and are you considering 18" or 19"? cause number 1 would look better in 19"S

I figured I'd put the pictures up for those who are too lazy, or cannot click the links.

Wheel one:


Wheel two:


I don't really care for black rims, but number 2 gets my vote.

Hey I vote for 1 but do keep in mind that you will have to get out a tiny cleaning brush to clean those rivets. When i got my wheels and was thinking shows I was like no problem but then when I realized that my car wasnt going to be a trailer queen show car I got lazy and got tired cleaning those rivets for shows. Im not saying that you will get lazy like I did and im not exactly how show your going with ur car. But just want you to consider everything and warn you that judges will look at how clean u get ur wheels at shows. get ready to take those puppies off the car and detail them before the show. PS if you dont feel like cleaning just slide Erik a 20. I bet he'd clean em lol. hmmm now that i say that im going to call Erik and see if he will clean my wheels. jk. :-)

but i vote 1

Mo & I are two votes for number 2 (but the first ones would probably be easier to clean).

Considering I have #1, but in silver they get my vote! I really wanted them in black, but I had the wheels before I got my car. I have seen them on a tC your color and they looked awesome, however I've seen the Axis Mod's on quite a few Scions. I don't believe I've ever seen the second ones so you might be a little more original with them. And as for cleaning the rivets, they're not as hard to clean as they look.

Heather, I think in YOUR car the #2 wheel would look better... cleaner lines and not too much going on in the wheel will match your exterior better since it's pretty much stock. Now if you had a crazy bodykit or some such I'd say #1.

And yes, her car looks awesome with black rims =P

BTW, am I the only one that thinks those "rivets" look retarded? I really do hate rims with those rivets on the outside...
