Just like to say sorry for all the rims posts by myself I'm just a poor student paying his way through school while trying to hold onto the max at the same time. I've finaly scrounged up enough tip money to get some rims... and I want to make sure I'm happy with what I buy.
ANyway I was looking at some 18" Chrome momo arrows, now I know they obviously wont look stock due to the chrome, but do these rims actually look hot spinning? Like some rims people buy aftermarket you dont even notice, and other peoples rims snap your neck cuz they're so sweet looking... anyone purchase these or see these rims that can give me an honest opinion?? I just love these rims and want them to stand out as much as possible, Thanks alot -Nine

i think they look unbelievable....

spinning or not those rims are bada** and btw any 18s are gonna look MUCH diffrent spinning than factory. On the downside they are really expensive and have been know to be concrete rims

i dunno about 8.5s.....

i know 18x8 is what everyone usually runs.... those will fit 235/45/17 tires wider than that might rub..

18x8.5 is fine. EuroMaxima has them and they look great. The only downside to them would be that they are very heavy. My 18x8's weigh in at 20lbs a piece whereas the Arrows weigh in at 35lbs a piece. That's an extra 60lbs. on an 18" wheel, which is quite a bit. I believe that the Momos are hard to get now too, so that's another thing to consider in case one gets damaged. Sets aren't usually too bad, but retail price on one wheel sucks.

I agree I have 17" chrome Momo Sports on my 3rd gen, and scraped on on the curb and went to the rim shop to see how much another would cost and he said $450 Luckily the guy I bought them from had 5 rims, so now I just have a spare Momo with a scratch

Get the Momos

You've brought them up enough times to convince me that you want them. But it sounds like you want everyone to say "Get the Momos." I had the same problem when I was buying my wheels. No one wanted to agree with what i wanted. They look bad a$$ while spinning and even when they are not (spinning), they still look bad a$$. Get the Momos. Who cares what they weigh. You wont regret it. If you don't, later you will be saying " I should have gotten..."

exactly

cwally you're right, being totally honest, My main concern is that I like them and all but having people say "they're bad a$$" and "Get the momo's" builds my confidence, I Just want to be happy after spending a small fortune.

Momo question

Since you guys are talking about momo rims I have a question for you guys. What's the name (ie. Momo Arrows) for the rim on the following picture? And what's the approximate resale value of it now? Thank you guys.

Retail the MOMO's are $721 each, and Pirelli's are $180 each (?) I bought them off a friend so I got a nice deal
