rims...yay or nay?

like it says, what do you guys think about these rims on black sapphire? Nice or rice? Might also go chrome. Photoshop masters would be greatly appreciated.

personally, I'm not a fan of fake rivets. Either the wheel is multi piece or it isn't..

What's the weight on the multi piece one? it is going to allow the right offset to get good concavity and a flush look?

It doesn't say how much it weighs. I haven't called them about it yet. Says that they are custom so I would guess that you can get the right offset.

Don't do chrome. Chrome is a crime.

They are called wheels. A rim is the outer most edge of a wheel.

Unfortunately, its probably a little late to get that back into it's cage... hell, I even saw it used on an actual BMW site a week or so ago.

May as well tell everyone calling it a car that it is in fact an automobile...

the majority of WHEELS I see on our AUTOMOBILES are the mesh style. I do like how they look but I'm sure they are a pain in the ass to clean and I do prefer spokes. I seen one member on here with the Vossen 5 spoke wheels and I think it looks pretty clean. I been looking at wheels for over a year now, its hard to decide because the wheels may look good by themselves and look like ass when you put them on the car. It also sucks when you have champagne taste with kool aid money. Wheels are expensive!

True.
Similarly the mis-use of Motor for Engine, but Enginesport is not going to catch on.
Correct: My motor is powered with lithium-ion batteries.
In-correct: My motor is normally aspirated (or force induction-turbocharged, or supercharged).

Its never too late to learn. I'll start using wheels but automoblie is a bit much, car is a lot easier

The second one looks cool
Are they staggered ?

Very interested on how the new wheels turn out as I've busted my balls trying to get the right ones in 20" at the right price

Keep it coming

Cheers

I Like the multi spoke over the 5 spoke, personally.

I agree with the mesh, they look great but a real pain to keep clean. I had bbs lm reps before...

Contact Partick @ SonicTuning.
They are good brand.

They are custom, so you can get them staggered. They are hella expensive tho. Same company but they are double the price of the mesh ones. Its been really hard trying to find wheels at the right price.
