Default Need your opinion!

Hey guys, the time has finally come for me to buy a decent pair of rims. My tires are at about 30% right now so i really have to start looking around for some. I just wanted to get your guys opinion on what you think would look good on my car. I'd like to have as many choices as possible then just narrow down from there. My price range is anything under $2,000. So i can't really afford Work's or anything that's that nice. But any input would be appreciated!

thats kind of like asking someone to dress you... its all subjective for this stuff... do what you like... personally I would try to get something that not everyone else has... As far as I know LowKut is the only other person in NY with the same wheels as me so whenever i see his car.. i drive away and hide.

There are plenty of nice wheels out there with a nice offset for that price, you just need to look around, and trust me take your time you'll be happier in the end.

In this price range I would either go with Vossen wheels or Forgestar wheels. I would look into 18" or 19" options and go from there. They are both very nice quality wheels.

Vossen (a little on the heavy side but have some classy and elegant designs) if you want to floss.

Forgestar (Forged strong, lightweight and sporty designs) if you want to go the sporty route.

Your welcome.

Anyways... I think the first rim style is a bit easier on the eyes and will probably look better on the GS.

I do agree with Rock though.

These look damn good, and since your car is black, it has a black piano finish.

Forgestar F05 - Can't go wrong with a 5 spoke design.
