  • Which wheels would you put on my car??

    I'm ordering wheels in 2 weeks once I get my next paycheck and want some opinions. My only question is should I go with straight black or black with the red lip?? It will probably take a few weeks after ordering the wheels but I'm planning on running 275/35/18 Riken Raptors on one of these two rims.

      I would go with the red accent rim but shoot it the color of your car.

        Not a fan of black rims, but between the 2 would do the ones with the red trim. If you must go black get polished lips that would look good on your car. 10 spoke chrome would look the best. IMO

          I live on a dirt road so chrome is not an option. Been there done that, lol

            Plus this winter I'm getting the car painted two-tone black and red so I think black rims will tie in nicely. Last part of the two tone will be black exhaust tips similar to the Corsas.

              That thought crossed my mind several times for my red car when I was considering black wheels. I'm glad someone's going to do it! Post pics when you get it done.

                Black with the red. Don't want it to look like your hub caps fell off when it's in motion.

                  but if you're re spraying the car try and get the reds to match, we can't have your car look like its an autozone special.
                  Im excited to see how it all turns out!

                    I'd personally put neither on your car... If you go black get a polished lip. Not hard to keep clean and breaks up the all black look...

                        Well, come to find out the red pinstriping ones aren't available and no ETA on when they will be again. So for now I'm going straight black, I knew a lot of people didn't like straight black, but is what it is.

                        Now, I've got one more question, for the rim/tire package it's going to run about $250 difference for 17" vs. 18". I'm really leaning towards going with 17" rims because of this. Opinions??

                        Here's 17" with the red lip for an idea.

                            None of the above. If you have to have black I would go with on of these.
