Rims feeler thread...

So it's time for me to look into rims for the car...

how'd this look on my car?



it's a "Sportmax 003 17*7 +40 4x100/114.3" does this mean that this will fit both 4x100 and 4x114.3? how's the quality of sportmax wheels?

thanks.

The car:

It would probably look good, even though black and chrome is way played out now.

eh, i always thought of it like this

cheap wheels belong on cheap cars. wheels is the most noticeable exterior mod you can get, so going with a no-name brand with poor quality is reflective of what the rest of your car will appear to look like, regardless of your actual mods.

if you think highly of your CL and want to make sure it's looked at in awe, stick with some higher quality top-of-the-line setups.

plus it makes you look baller

there's a problem with that, actually two:

1) Other top-of-the-line wheels are too heavy, this wheel is forged and is lightweight. Considering how heavy my car is, i'd opt to shave weight anywhere i can.

2) Sad to admit, but i'm not a ballah ... college student and car modding don't mix... I'd rather get a nice looking, mid-range wheel and save the rest for other important stuff... like F*cking expensive books....

Besides, the wheel is nice. I'm going for performance, just looking into wheels to accent my car a lil bit... or else i'd have the whole body kit and every visual mod put on already....

I'm not dissing your view, just that it's not mine.
