Hey guys.
So I'm planning on getting rims soon I just can't picture them on my car. Here are a couple pics of rims and my car, so let me know which ones you guys like and don't like! Thanks

Oh and they're all 19x8.5 and drop won't come in until later

TL


1 GUNMETAL


2 BRONZE


3 STAGGERED BLACK W/ POLISHED LIP


4 SILVER W/POLISHED LIP


5 SILVER W/ POLISHED LIP


I might post a couple more pictures later if I look into more rims

Thanks!

I think we need 5 more choices.... didn't like any of them....

If i had a NBP though i would LOVE black rims with a Chrome Lip..

Just make sure it is not some eloborate crazy design so that you can actually see what is going on with the rims.. I have seen a lot black rims where all you see is a huge mess of black and you can't make out the rims since they are so dark...

I think a light bronze would be pretty hot too, i wouldn't do gold...

True..like I was looking into the 4 and 5 but idk

But it seemed like black with chrome would just look right on my car because those are the only colors I really have so i looked into #3 and they have a staggered fitment too. idk I'm looking into more

Thumbs up #5 Looks like a Work Varianza

I love the Work Varianza, and #5 looks like them, except cheaper looking.

I don't like the center cap. If you like that style and don't mind spending

$2k for just wheels, check out the Work Varianza from RavSpec....

No 3 would look nice if the center caps were black, ALL BLACK......

No 4 would look MUCH better if they DIDN'T have those FAKE Rivits.....

IMO.....IMO......IMO......

haha yeah that's the only reason I liked the #5's were because they looked like woks...except with a smaller lip haha I think that one's the most expensive out of the 5..and the works? umm 2k is alot for me atleast haha..sucks bein a student

#1-I was thinking about the gunmetal ones, and then paint the grill and the rear garnish gunmetal and give it kind of that stealth look, but we'll see I guess

#2-They look nice but I don't knw about my car. I have a feeling I'm going to get tired of them real quick


Oh and there's this finish in #1 too:

I'm not partial to any of the selections. I actually like the stock wheels more than the choices you are considering. I would keep searching and exercise patience with my wheel selection. If I had to choose though, I would likely go with #4 - but without the revits.

i wish i knew about eh GT-F 19x8.5 before i ordered mine =(

I would have totally gotten those for the TL... do they even come in gold GT-F's?

Those are all clean wheels bro, i would go with the black staggard ones

Black car w/ black on chrome lip rims look clean imo.. goodluck w/ w/e u choose

^^^the GT-Fs do come in gold!!!...i saw them in super street! What rims did you order??? If i didn't have my GT-S yet, i think i would get the GT-F over the GT-S that i currently have...but either way...gold wheels + WDP or NBP (WDP is better though ) = SEXY!

haha I see you like the whole JDM kind of look. I want to go either 19 or 20 but most likely 19's. I kinda want a racey but flashy look? Idk how to explain it. Nothing bling blingin but it cant be something for just racing...if u know what im saying haha

I love the jdm look and I had no idea Rota made 19" rims (19"??? thats not jdm)

and look at that just searched they make 1 rim in 19" the "quake" (which is nothing like jdm style and they are fugly)

how about you go 18" and get the sportmax 006 they're under 1k and look damn nice


PS. Alt wheels makes some nice wheels too

i don't have to worry about bbk cuz i have brembos already....but i think these wheels will look better if you saw them in gold and on a TL. i myself aren't very fond of a lot of spokes...i forgot who it was but they had a red pearl tl with bronze CE28s...GROSS! GT-F, gold, polished lip, on a slammed TL....i think it'll look good....possibly it will be my set of shoes for next summer

I saw these Axis Pentas on sale online, but it seems like two are different colors? Is it me or is it the angle? Idk, would it be that noticable if I did put them on different sides?

DON'T get the SF Challange, OLD school. Get these in gold, OR the GT-S in gold.

Save longer, you get what you pay for. Cut grass, wash/wax Aunts/Uncles

car, etc. When I was young I always bought excellent quality audio and auto

parts etc. I always found a way to get the jack $$$ I needed. Or whatever,

its YOUR car and $$$. NO HURRY
