sonic blue + black fr500 = great idea

17's = horrible idea

stang300a · July 28th, 2007, 05:21 PM

why do u say 17's are a horrible idea?? if i get anything bigger wont it slow me down and kill my gas mileage?

Racerchik02 · July 28th, 2007, 05:37 PM

I think they look hot...why dont you see if someone will do a photoshop for you...

stang300a · July 28th, 2007, 05:44 PM

i already photoshopped it and i think they look awesome but i just wanted to see what u guys think b/c all my friends say it will look ugly as hell. i was also thinking about smoking out the rear taillights to match better with the wheels. oh yea by the way. i have the factory stripe on the bottom of the driver door and i wanted to take it off b/c its silver and it will look tacky with the rims. do u think there will be discoloration???

Avaric3 · July 28th, 2007, 09:04 PM

17s are gonna slow you down and hurt gas mileage too. stock i believe are 15" rims so anything bigger and your hurting

ESG-642T · July 28th, 2007, 09:11 PM

This is coming from a guy who really doesn't like the color blue...

Sonic Blue + BlackFr500 18s, with DD in the rear = teh sex

stang300a · July 28th, 2007, 10:02 PM

are u saying he should get 15s or something?

burin_rubber · July 29th, 2007, 01:15 AM

it depends if u want look or proformance
17's -proformance
18's -look
i would personally go with 18's

Why is everyone saying a larger rim is going to slow you down, that is not necessarily true. Generally as you go up in rim size the tire you then put on it is going to be smaller so the actual distance to go completely around the rim and tire isnt going to change all that much.

Their not from the same garage as we are!

Steamboat 16 · July 29th, 2007, 02:49 AM

those rims are nice, but instead of just taking off the white strip, why not replace it with a similar black stripe that will accent your car better, if you don't like this and just want it gone then their might be some discoloration depending on how well you or any previos owners have taken care of the paint, if it was washed and waxed regularly then you shouldn't have any problem, also a good dark tint and tinting the tail lights like you were thinking are great ideas, and as for the m in the rims if you really hate it you can get it painted over.

Onemanzu · July 29th, 2007, 03:01 AM

what is with all these people coming out of the woods??

BR TM and Steam boat??

how are yall??

Blue and Black?? that is a great combo ... kid on here has a blue car with a lot of black trim pieces and such... drawing a blank on his name but yea its something like ... oh yea

popularbydemand i belive check his garage

Murderjetz · July 29th, 2007, 01:28 PM

I think 17's or 18's would be fine. just get tires with a lower sidewall and it really wont change your driveability or gas mileage that much at all. bigger rim, smaller tire, same total size...

GatoStang · July 29th, 2007, 03:08 PM

chris torres is right the m on the rims look shitty but those rims would look real nice with your car

TheUNZippee! · July 29th, 2007, 03:08 PM

Ditto. I like the rims, but hate the M.

ByPopularDemand · July 29th, 2007, 03:12 PM

Im thinkin bout some too...its a good combo

nba1341 · July 29th, 2007, 03:29 PM
