rims look ok, don't flow w/your car theme IMO....i'd expect something more "sporty/aggressive." also that rear rim is to thin/weak offset. car still looks hot though

Simota you hav great taste....this llooks AWESOME

kenchan · 05-20-2010, 04:06 PM

i guess the other thing is that the width of the tires vs the wheels... tyically want to have more stretch on the sidewall at least so it has some angle on the sidewall, not a flat right angle kinda look. it makes the wheel set look kinda heavy and sloshy unless you give it some stretch....watever that means.

but again, it's all taste. i dont like super stretched sidewall but a little stretch looks great.

since my triplets around here have matte black wheels with red time attack i wanted to shy away from that....

so i went with a different route
