well i saw a FM wit gold G-Games 77w. It belongs to semajames i believe. Search for him. Its absolutely sick looking. Very good contrast and plus its rare to see those colors mixed. Its a gold 5 spoke. The thing is it has the polished lip. The Aheads dont have the polished lip so I dunno how it would look on my BSP. Ive seen WRX in black with all gold rims and it looked good but thats a WRX so Im still not sure. BTW where did you get them from and for how much. I wanna see if this local dealer is charging to much. He quotes me 130 for the 18's.

I got it from a friend of mine... it's pre-owned but almost brand spanking new... she had it in a week in her corolla... i can't tell you how much i got them... you might get shocked... retail of these are $750-$800... let just say i got a good deal... just do alot of search you might get lucky... BTW it's actually a lot shinier than the pic above...

I found that guy semajames... his ride is sick... but that gold is kinda dark... Aheads have a brighter gold... his looks kinda painted or powder coated... Aheads looks more of gold plated...

here's another pic... this one shows the actual color(the top looks like it's been photochopped)...

i was looking at those Reverbs... It's been around... i just couldn't find any bronze available... it would be sick if i got those bronze ones on my BCP... Reverbs are a good choice, their pretty lite! too much on the though...

the bronze reverbs are around, you just need to make some phone calls, or ask around.

i would get the half knock offs before i bought the full knock offs.....im sorry the maaxxims look ok, but they are obviously a fake and they even tried to duplicate the holes in the spoke with paint, that is cheesy

oh for sh*t sake. were talkin rims not designer jeans here. are u guys really gonna be like o wow tha car looks good wit those axis reverbs...oh wait lemme take a closer look....nope theyre maxxims now its hideous. Please there are some many rims out there that are 'copies' of some other rim its normal. There are only so many designs u can make with a wheel. If a simple five star design that you happen to like looks good should it matter that it's a 'knock off' of a similar design. The aheads have been found for 120. Show me new 18x7.5 reverbs for that price. If they looks good who cares if theyre not brand name.
