Exclamation Need some opinions please... (56k beware)

First off, mods: if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it to where it belongs, and if so, my apologies in advance.

Now, what I need some opinions on is this new set of rims/tires I have the opportunity to buy from a friend.

The first picture below is of my interior in its current state, which may help you to make your opinion.

The second one is my wheel/tire setup that I have now, they're 18" Motegi's in chrome, wrapped in 30 series Toyo Proxes 4's. (OPTION 1)

The third pic is the wheel tire setup one of my friends is suggesting, and they're 16" kind of no-name rims with some brand new no name tires. (OPTION 2)

Also, I included a fourth pic showing the side shot of my xB with the red wheels, this way you can see how far they stick out.

Now! Keep in mind that no matter what setup I end up going with, I AM lowering the box ASAP. So, we can skip the whole "it looks like a 4x4" comments section, haha.... I already know.

Any who, I appreciate everyone's comments and opinions, so lemme know what you guys/gals think! Thanks!!!

yeah go with the sportmax 513's, that red on black looks sick and they are actually very decent quality rims. there are a lot of people in our community and others like honda, vw, bmw and nissan that run the sportmax/xxr rims also.

as long as you are not autocrossing youll be fine. the interior is nice, very cleanly done.

the rims you have on there now dont look bad at all but the other rims really make your box that much more sexy.

the box generally doesn't look good with big chrome wheels. big chrome wheels are for bling factor. the box is not a blingy ride so blingy wheels just look out of place.

you know like when you see like a honda civic or other small sedan with nothing but huge chrome rims... lame.

lower that baby at least with S-Tech/DF210 springs and rock the red/black. it gives the car a more personal look like you know what you are doing with it and it's like that for a reason. not because you don't know anything about your car but want to have big chrome rims and bumping music.

If you like a little chrome, you should get these. they look great on black cars. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_AMwsXXYjIg0/Sq...7o0/muahah.JPG these!

I like the 513s. Tire profile looks like a 45, but there's no stretch... you MIGHT rub a bit with em, but you can always fix that.

Interior: See those silver things on the center console and the window/locks... get those red as well.

Exterior... I like the 513s better but the chromies look pretty hawt. Don't drop too much (like DF210s) you will rub. Instead you should drop on something like HTechs for 1.2" instead of 2.2" drop.

Red wheels ftw. I just hate that style. XXR/sportmax 501's are much better IMO.

If you don't take your friends tires, I might want them.
