Default New rims

Finally got my rims on.
It took a while because they would have rubbed the inside frame but luckily the ONE TON GARAGE spacers fixed that problem. God bless VAN. Super easy to install. Highly recommend these babies. Plus the wheel is a little more flush with the body.
I purchased the Exel RH-5s from wheelmax.com, great service and prices. They are Racing Hart knock-offs, but, whatever.
Hope you like, let me know what you guys think.

OMG U R SUCK. UR CAR IZ TEH UGLY!!1one!


No, I'm just kidding. I like it! It's clean... and I mean that in both ways. It's really shiny too. I also see that you have chrome projectors.... I prefer chrome over black, I think it is more subtle since the stock headlights are all chrome.

How big are your wheels? I don't like big wheels, but that's mostly because DC roads aren't that good. Your wheels have a classic simple design and I think it works well for the box.

I think the chrome projectors look good on a BSP box...

I think those look extremely good!

What size is the wheel?

I just ordered these.

What language is that?

Well it seems he/she prefers chrome, and big wheels. Deal with it.

Looking good.

NYCXBOX > The rims you chose are pretty damn tight. Clean, slightly aggressive. Just make sure the ones your getting are 4x100. The ones in the pic look like they might be 5 lugs.

Eveyone else > Thanks for all the props you guys.
Having less tire and a low profile definitely doesn't improve the ride but corning and looks more than make up for it. I might have made do with 17" and more sidewall but I like the way they look. I don't like chrome, the rims are silver. I just washed them so they might look a little shiny.
Thanks again,
Rich

I think you might have interpreted my post differently than I intended because I really like his chrome headlights and his big silver wheels.

Potholes in Washington, DC can seriously be 4-6 inches deep, especially around construction zones. I've broken my bumper on one and I scrape on a daily basis, so I'd cry if I bent an 18" wheel.

I think your wheels look beautiful, but that's probably because I'm partial to silver 5-spoke wheels. In my opinion, a simple, clean looking design says, "Look at me. I grab your attention, but I'm tasteful. I'm flashy, but elegant." Your wheels don't look chrome at all. I think your car is looking great, so I hope you didn't interpret any of my comments as criticism.

F'kin' A.
I love all you guys.
Don't worry UNCOMPILED, I didn't take your post as a diss.
I respect peoples' opinion. Especially when they are as honest as you are. Plus, the whole reason I got the rims was exactly as you explained. Thanks, again.

Looks Awesome, those wheels look great!

Is that a Golf R32 in the background of the 1st pic?

I have RS*R springs on mine, gives it about a 1.75" drop in the front and 1.5" in the back. Perfect.

You have a very good eye. That's my brother's R32. It's the faster car of the two, although I like to think mine has more style.
