Pick my rims!

Tax return almost here and I'm buying rims. I'm choosing between these. Which one do you like better? and do you think 17's look small?

I like wheel #3. I dont think that 17s are too small as long as you've got some springs, otherwise they would look a bit small.

#4 too...but 17 are small...u may not think that way when you buy your rims, but eventually you'll think they're too small..especially with rims that has a lip or spokes that don't go all the way down to the lip. get 18s.

#1 v #2 or #4

First you need to decide if you want a 5 spoke rim. If you so, I like #1.

The 5th gen is a big car. You MAY feel that the 17's are too small, but it depends on the design of the wheel. #1 will LOOK bigger than #2 or #4.

Good taste! You can't go wrong with any of those choices.
But to make it sound like there's an echo in here, go for 18's.

I "second" that...

Although, looks tough to clean, but worth it.

If you're gonna get new wheels, mine as well upgrade to 18 IMO.

What do you guys think of a darker tint rims like black opal or gunmetal? I have AE-like headlights and I think it'll look good, sorta like Irvings old gunmetal black rims in color.

mine were actually WORK Wheels. those are Nakayamas. they're similar but not exactly the same. plus mine were 19s.

#3 looks kinda too busy. i don't like it.

Definitely #3, why? Because #1 is too bland and #2 & #4 everyone is starting to show up with them, not that they're ugly, they're not, it's just that everyone will have them and you'll be a copycat, not an original.

Lower that beotch and Oh, BTW, make sure you get 18's to help make up some of the difference in the wheelgap.

I like #1 and #3, but #1 is a lot like the stock rim...just 1 less spoke...tough call. Might as well go 18"'s as well.

I dont really like any of them, except the "WORK" knockoffs. But your biggest mistake will be getting 17's. That doesnt make sense. 18's are a minimum with the size of the car, and the amount of wheel well we have. To each his own though....
