black or blue will work since i got no idea how this works i want something that looks real fancy and wont hurt my mpg can u guys tell me specifications on the stock rims? any suggestions? 15" rims btw
This is a loaded question. Finding the perfect rims have taken me over a year but I'll tell you what I know. Most people who buy aftermarket rims usually upsize to 16" 17" or 18". Not saying 15 isn't good bit it'll still look a little funky. they probably won't look "really fancy" Less tire more rim is the look ppl go for. If you still wanna get 15s let me know and we'll continue from there.
ight blackmamba thanks for the advice i really want to upgrade to 16's u know but i'm poor unless i can get 16" rims to fit the stock tires -________- but ima consider 16" rims and tires now help a PC member out!!! and another thing will it affect my turning radius and will my tires rub against anything when i turn??
The best thing to do is wait until your tires go bald and you need to get new tires, then buy new tires and rims at the same time. That's what I'm doing. Not only will you save on the installation cost and bundle packages, but it'll also give you plenty of time to save up money and choose the exact rim you want. 16" rims can't fit on 15" tires. The way the tire specs work is width/sidewall ratio/rim size. So your current tires are specifically made for 15" rims. Upsizing to 16s won't affect your turning radius and you don't have to worry about rubbing the fender. I can't say the same thing about rubbing with 17"+. Although you can get around that by changing the offset [how flush your tire is to the fender] Nice choice going with 16". You definitely have more options when you go with 16"+. Now, you can answer the following questions to yourself: What is your budget? What color rims do you want/what will match your car? What design do you want? (5 spoke, 6 spoke, etc?) How heavy are you willing to go? (~14lbs/rim matches the stock rims; any heavier and you will lose 2-5 mpg) My suggestion is look at a lot of cars with rims. A LOT of cars. Over time you'll develop a taste and strong sense of what you like. It'll make it easier to answer the above questions. Personally, right now I really like the look of 5 spoke rims in bronze. Very simple and clean, yet it screams aftermarket racing. For me, choosing a rim to buy is a long, drawn out process. It's a lot like dating and getting married. It'll take some time to figure out what you like.
ight macmaster05 that actually sounds like a great idea thanks im just gonna wait till theres no tread on the stock tires then get rims and tires ur right it will give me much more time to look and decide and thanks for the weight advice i know for sure im getting black or something w/ a hint of blue to match my color post pics once u get some bronze rims in i wanna see em!
