Help Me Decide On Rims!!

[Juiced-03]

Well I have two choices:

1) Upgrade to the stock 17" chrome rims and use Nitto Drag Radials.

2) Get the silver 18" Y2K Cobra R's and Nittos NT-555's. (I dont think chrome would look good with this rim on my car.)

What do you think? I have a yellow coupe by the way.

 

[03DOHC]

Stock rims.

 

[lRageATMl]

stock rims, just get the 10.5 afs replicas for it.

 

[Juiced-03]

wow thanks for the votes guys! I thought everyone would be for the Y2k's but I guess maybe I'll have to consider the stock chromies

 

[SNCBOOM]

Too many Y2K R's....go for the chrome stock look....its great ;-)

 

[missile man]

I can't wait to order the 18" AFS Chromies.

 

[mustang03]

I know I am gonna get flack for this, but the Y2K 18's definetly, not in silver in chrome. The chrome stock wheels look good but they are showing up on more and more cars. Plus the 18's look better in chrome.

 

[Orange Poison]

Stockers all the way.....chrome especially

17" chromies look great with the yellow. Get the AFS 17X10.5 for the rear. It will look awsome. The AFS wheel is super close in apearance. I have them on mine and no one can tell the difference unless I point it out.

I am ordering the chrome AFS 17x9 for the front and 17x10.5 for the rear and putting on Eagle F1 GS-D3 275/40/17 on the front and 315/35/17 on the rear.

When you get the 315's mounted and installed be sure and let us know how the fit turned out. I already have my AFS chrome 17X9 & 17X10.5 wheels, just have to decide on tires. I had been thinking about the new Pirelli P-Zero Corsa but haven't been able to find any to look at. Sure would like to see them on a car before I make up my mind.

I have Kinesis K-28's,IMHO there better built than Fikses or HRE's.I would guess you can find there web site.They made a special pair for me and they are BMW like.On there chrome wheels they even plate the center barrel(3 piece) that you cant see and on Hi Polish the wheel is polished 100%.
There more known for Ferrari,LamboPorsche and Bimmer but they will build you a set takes about 12 weeks and about 800-1100 per wheel.My cars hot but the 1 part I get more questions and Kudos on are the Kinesis wheels.
All of a sudden when people enter my Vette boutique we displayed 2 wheels we sell 2-3 sets a week and for Hi end wheels thats MUCHO.Dave Smilovic

noticed you were from AZ? same here.

you ever go out to the Pavillions show??


just kinda curious what your wheels look like since they cost so much..

 

[davidmax]

Hey Rio yes the beast has been to the Pavillions twice.We probably missed each other because I get there after sundown on my Sabbath for religious reasons.I would meet up with AZ. Snake,and a few other guys from Sierra Vista and then they would crash in my guest house.
Even took some Forum guys out inthe milder 725 rrwhp trim and poor Kevin he wont PM me anymore.You would think he has a life or something beyond me ,Shoot.
I will have the car back in 25-30 days TOPS but it should be back from Canada within 15-20 realisticly,and then I would love to show you my wheels,Dave Smilovic
PS:K evin I didnt mean to scare you,I know you wont drive with me anymore,Dave

Fang's zinc yellow car looks great with chrome wheels.
