Cheap Rims

[ma77mm]

They actually look pretty good. . .

im not a big fan off most chrome rims, especially them done up shit boxes with massive chrome. Doesnt look good

Im not sure what chrome wheels would look like on a black car? ? ?

Uh-oh, don't let people on this forum hear you ask that. Most of them are anti-chrome when it comes to wheels. LOL!

But I was once a lover of chrome (still am and don't care what others think ), and had it on my MY05 GT.

This will give you an idea with a set of 19's.

And before someone has a chance to make a derogatory comment, "Screw you chrome haters!"

Hey Jim if you love chrome so much why do you have black rims?

New car, new direction. Thought I would try out non-chrome to see how they looked. Actually I was going to carry over those rims to the MY07 but the wife made me sell them. But I actually like the design/style of the Advans so I kept them.

I did enquire with Phat about bringing out a set of chrome Advans as well, but it was too pricey at the time.

Hey jim, do you have any photos of you 05? Considering your sti. I would imagine the gt would have looked pretty dam good to.

That's it in my previous post with the 19's. But nothing fancy at all. I didn't know Phat back then so I was limited to what was available at the time domestically: rims, lowering springs, and tint. Those were happy times when my wallet was nice and fat. After meeting Phat, my wallet's paper thin now.

nothing wrong with the chromies (depending wether you get decent looking ones or not ?) if they suit the car i reckon it adds a touch of class !! but alot of people get small cheap looking chromies and make the car look worse then what it was standard.

I agree! Surely no one can hate the Connoisseur's in chrome?

Jim I reckon you should just get them and sell me your ones

Unfortunately there's a rather large queue and you'd have to fight people to the death for it.

Looks great! That red trim really sets off and matches well with the red Blitzen!
