Which rims? pic A or pic B?


Pic A. Q45 rims with Pirelli 235/45/17 tires. Still has the visor too.

Pic B. MB Motoring "Rev" rims with Falken Ziex 225/50/16 tires. Visor gone. They seem to handle about the same. I think I will keep both sets. I like the look of the Pic B rims the best, but the tires on the Q45 rims are much better and the right size. What do you guys think?

Definitely the Q45 rims (pic A) makes the car look very tasteful and classy.

Pic A.

Pic B, looks too small, the lip does that to it. 1st one looks much better, with a kit and drop . . . Clean.

for Q45s - they look very clean.

Also, I don't really like the rivet look on rims unless they really are 2-piece rims. Plus the lip does make the 16s look even smaller.

Yeah, that was BlueC's car. The rims are polished, but not chrome. The car is happy-it is much warmer here.

Bryan, I got the Q45 wheels for a reason. They look amazing.

Atleast I dont have to worry about never seeing the max again, good thing I sold it to an org member.
