I am in the market for some rims and want an opinion on these. These are 17's but I want 18's and can't find them in black...only gray. Also any suggestions would be appreciated. Check out my garage to see what my 6 looks like. Thanks.

Really...I just always pictured black with chrome lips for my ride. I know there are some ppls that don't like this type rim set up. I'll have to give it some thought :smashfreakB:. Thanks for your opinion!

BTW, I like your sig!:lol::lol:

18" I think they run $130-150 a pop. I've been suprised with them the finish holds up pretty well compared to the OEM rims. The OEM rims are scratched to hell and curb checked. However they went through winter, the Boosts have not (and hopefully wont)

Heres a better pic

Yeah, I just looked them up on Discount Tire and 153 a pop. Do you have any springs on your ride? Any rub? I went through your album. Nice pics bro!

thanks. im all stock right now. she needs a drop bad. I want to do CO's though, and those are $1000 soooo saving pennies.
Edit: oh no rub at all yet. When I get it dropped i will probably get the rears rolled as a precausting if i can find someone i trust to do it

I wasn't going to say anything about that gap....lol....cause my baby has them too. It makes her look like a whore ha ha. At least your not on stock though. CO's are too much for me $$$$$. But you probably need them in Newark.

I am thinking of some MS springs for mine.

Yeah...that's what I was going to ask you is if you know of anyone in Columbus that rolls? Are there even any shops that have the tool? I'll have to start asking at work, and I'll let you know!

Newark curbs suck. You curb a rim bad enough and you become paranoid. I hate going anywhere in downtown columbus cause im afraid to park on the street cause of curb check.

I'm a little OCD like that though.

With your age on your factor shocks you might want to consider replacing them. Look at some Konis, Fez can probably point you in the best direction for those. I'm not too knowledgeable in that department.
