Can I get your opinions?

I stumbled across this Hyper Metal rim in another buddy's thread over in the 99-04 thread. It occurred to me that this one particular rim he was asking about may look good on my car.

Here's the rim, It's a Hyper Metal Razor.

Now here's my car. I wound up using this picture of it on the flatbed, because it was the only pic I had that matched the funky angle of the rim in the picture, and I couldn't find a straight on shot pic of the rim, so this is the best I could do with what I had. The first shot is with my factory 18" aluminum rims, the second is the Hyper Metals.

Bad photoshop job aside, whatcha think of those rims?

I dont like um... to bling bling 4 me... just get the razor rims... those are soo sexy!

onederful100 · October 9th, 2007, 04:04 PM

those rims look sharp. better than the bullets no doubt. are they what 18" or 20"? pretty unique too, never seen those on a S197, in fact never seen those before period. i like 'em.

Thanks Mrd , appreciate the input

onderful, you can get em' in 18, 19, & 20, whatever you like. Thanks for the input as well

Mrdestboi · October 9th, 2007, 04:09 PM

what combo would u choose? imma run into a similar issue soon so i was thinking 200 in back 18 in front but didnt know about the offset so i was thinking shooting for 20 all around but idunno...

TheUNZippee! · October 9th, 2007, 04:12 PM

Personally I'm a fan of the 18" look. The 20's just don't trip my trigger. The only 20's I saw that I liked were made by Chip Foose, and I won't be able to afford his stuff anytime soon. lol

Also the smaller rim performs better, as it's easier to turn and is lighter than a 20, unless you drop large dollars on a lightweight 20.

That certainly is yummy HMUSN. I haven't forgotten about those blacked out lenses, and I'm going to get them come spring. Going to try and save some bucks over the winter and put a few more toys on the car, hopefully starting with cams.

TheUNZippee! · October 9th, 2007, 04:38 PM

thx Matt

They have a couple of really nice sets with really deep lips. I may get rid of my Steeda's and get a set of those.

TheUNZippee! · October 9th, 2007, 04:57 PM

Yeah I hear ya. I find it tough to pick just the right rim though.

and i hear ya on that 2. i'm deciding between razors and rogue which look similar to the ones your asking about on this thread. tough choice, bc in a few months theres always a new rim coming out.

Luis_GT · October 9th, 2007, 05:09 PM

If you don't get them, I will.

TheUNZippee! · October 9th, 2007, 05:10 PM

I know right. It's so tough to choose just from looking at the rim. And it's amazing just how much it changes the entire look of your car, so you don't wanna drop all that money and find out what you liked in a picture doesn't look right on your car.

I've used those websites that have an animation where you can put the wheel on your car, but of course I never seem to find a wheel I like on those sites. lol

TheUNZippee! · October 9th, 2007, 05:10 PM

Thx for the input Luis

I know what ya mean... The sexy wheels are never on those sites...

homebrewed · October 9th, 2007, 06:04 PM

Very sexy!! Do they make 'em in a bolt pattern that fits the S197?

SN95 and S197 are different... Or so I've been told...

TheUNZippee! · October 9th, 2007, 06:05 PM

Yeah it sux Luis.

Thanks for the input HB

Yep they make em for this car. According to the website I see them on anyway. lol

I like the spokes Zip but they need more meat in the center to hide more of the hubs and brakes.
