Thinking about going cheap...Need input.
 

So, I am really considering just buying cheap rims for the look. I was browsing and found these XXR 522 rims. They are heavier than the stock Rays wheels by 7lbs, but I'm not really going for performance; just for looks. I can get a set of staggered fitment of 19x8.5 in the front and 19x10.0 in the rear for under $600 shipped.

Here's something crazy that I want to do. I want to make one side of the car gold and the other black, so I am going to be purchasing 1 black 19x8.5 and 19x10.0 for the right side and 1 gold 19x8.5 and 19x10.0 for the left side. I think it will look awesome for a cheap cost.

Give me some input. Here are the wheels if you don't know what they look like.

haha trying to copy me now? lol

Mismatching rims? Err, it if makes you happy. :)

Jamaica, cool I didn't notice that you thought of the one sided rims idea.

Thor, its not really mismatching, but just different colors and same rims. Other drivers really only see one side of the car anyways.

I like it. Gotta be a trendsetter. As long as you like thats what matters. Your car your money. Go for it. Be unique. I have four different sets of wheels sometimes your gotta switch it up to find something you like.

exactly. I've always like the idea of mismatching rims, when done properly.

let us know how it goes

:iagree: IF YOU NEED ANY HELP PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO ASK!:tup:

So it's settled. It will be my Christmas gift for myself.

Really? You are just going for looks and you are going to mix the wheel colors?

Also, I know you said you didn't care about performance, but adding wheel weight is the absolute worst place to add weight.

There aren't many options to buy a set of new 19" rims that weighs less than the stock Rays wheels. Unless I have 5 grand to spend.

What do you guys think about 19x10 in the rears and 18x9.5 in the fronts?

my buddy has the same set of rims on his s2000.. rims are good especially wiht low offset the concave is really nice.. one donwside tho, its really easy to get a scratch mark on the black ones. but i think the scratch is just on the clearcoat(not sure if there is clear coat on it but it looks like it) but its not noticeable.

I beg dont do it lol, but to each his own.

theres nothing wrong with what he is doing.:tiphat:
