I really liked the ACE wheels, but it says it only comes in 18x8.5 with only a 43+ offset, so that wouldnt work would it.
The other rims look REALLY cheap to me. Any others off hand?

Like Neil said, definitely go with the Giovanna Kobes. I have Giovanna rims and they are strong as hell. I hit a huge pothole once and the rim held up just fine (thank god!).

BTW, stop being cheap.:p

Hey binhy, do you have 18s? I cant tell from the little pic. Yea i think the kobes are my best best so far. But someone told me the center cap looks like cheap plastic. Maybe i need to see it in person first.

I believe you can replace the Giovanna center cap with your Acura center cap. That would look nice. Almost stock. Probably get a lot more questions than if you left the G caps on.

Tim doesn't sell the Kobe, does he? If they cost about the same as the Corsica, then it's a good price. Know the offsets? Do you think the silver or blue/grey would look best on a WDP?

Axis rims are good for the price. My cousin has been rollin' on his set for about two years now and he has had no problems.

Trust me, i saw the Rio wheels first. But they dont make a size that will fit. Only comes in 18x8.5 and 17x7.5, but i dont want 17s

My rims are 17s but everybody thinks they're 18s because of my 3" drop.:p Yea the center cap is plastic. I wondered if all Giovanna rims have the same plastic center cap.
BTW, when you come to NJ next year, you can check my rims out. That's if you haven't already bought your rims.

How bad are the roads in Chicago? Will riding around in 18s be a good idea?

Not so bad. I live in the burbs of chicago so i really dont have to worry about my rims too much. Unless i went clubbing, if i did drive to the city, i dont drive fast around there anyways. No room. So i should be fine.

Also I dont plan on buying rims till summer or so. Im just getting ideas, and prices. YA HEARD! So when i come to NJ I will make sure i check out your lil 17s.
