Default New Rims???

I have been kicking around the idea of getting new rims. A lot of people here on CL have been lobbying for me to change my rims for awhile. Personally I like the rims I currently have but it may be time for a change as they are a few years old and have some nicks and one is even a little bent from a run in with a deep pot hole. Anyway I was thinking about getting the Giovanna Genoa. Does anyone have these or have they seen them on a GS? How do you think they will look on my car?

Ok at this time I am also accepting nominations for the rim of choice. Please include a pic if you can provide one. This should be interesting. Man the Vault Wave is getting no love on CL!! On the streets people are always telling me that they love my rims.

auto, you have a pretty wild car (paint, aero, etc etc), in my opinion you need a wild wheel setup to complement it, and off-the-shelf Giovannas will not cut it. Whats your budget wheels and tires, and we can help you with a nice deep dish look to keep up with the rest of the package.

I would like to keep it under $5000. I prefer a deep dish look and chrome.

Hey while I have your attention D2 can you give me some tips on competing at Hot Import Nights?

I don't know if these are too wild or not. They might actually be overdoing the blue, but you have to have them on a blue car to pull them off. Any way, it is certaintly a unique option.

Man, I can get you multipiece forged wheels for much less than that with tires. Or you can go for some Maya / Maidos and still stay pretty far away from that number. Take a look at the site and let me know what you like, we can go from there.

As far as HIN goes, I think you have to cater to yourself, and let the wins fall where they fall. These shows are all.....ahem......"externally influenced" in many cases, so you should just do it for the love. When our customer's car took best VIP it was true surprise! I wasnt even over where the annoucements were being made! LOL
