Thinking about these rims.....

Postby rush24 » Wed Jan 06, 2010 9:14

So I know Winter is here....but I'm looking at new wheels for Spring....
I was originally looking for 20" wheels to fill the wheel gap better...but it sounds like BC coil-over kit might be coming out soon.....Soooo I'm thinking stay with 18's or go with 19's....

Here are the ones I'm looking at right now.....It's the XXR 518....I know that they look good on the Mazda 3.....Just gotta decide....Black or Bronze...

Any suggestions? Comments?

That's kinda what I was leaning towards....I want to keep the blacked out theme....but the gold looks nice on black cars too...:)

Gold looks cool on black cars IMO, but not sure it would be good on a SUV. I like the black ones. I think 20s would look good as long as your tire doesn't have too little sidewall.

My buddy has the ones very similar to the black ones on his STI and they look good. Watch those curbs though.

I absolutely hate the way the bronze looks on cars. If you're going with a blacked out theme, stick to it. But it's your decision either way.
