Costed me $200 for four rims. It's holding really good. The rims do have some scratches and dents, but that is my fault. Trying to go into a corner too fast will do that.

Cumalot, how much did it cost to powder coat your rims? How is it holding up? Thanks
good luck on choosing new rims

Are you talking about the RH Evolution C3 and S15? If you are, I don't like them.

sold sc?

So, I got get something to make up for the loss. I want 19s since I'm basically show now, so heavy rims won't matter. I plan to get a kit later on too. Btw, I also ordered a 97-99 front bumper and SE grill. Going to be a good project.

Initially I sold the SC because I was going to sell the car. I had buyer, he paid 3/4 of the payment to me, so in another word, the SC was his already. Then, I look at my financial situation and concluded that I couldn't afford the car that I wanted, a '90+ TTZ 5spd which costed around $10k. Another reason was I wanted to drive down my credit card debt. Thirdly, I wasn't satisfy with the power, it could due to my transmission more than anything. Maybe the power would be more than enough for most people, but I'm power hungry, I needed more. So, I just decided to keep the car and finish school first. After I finish school, I could buy whatever car I want to. Maybe a car that is super fast to begin with.
Well, I decided NOT to get the rims afterall. It's just not worth it. Too much money. And it's not like I have bad looking rims now, they just need to be repowercoated because of the scratches and dents caused by myself. I'm trying to get my credit card debt lower, so by getting new rims, it would defeat that purpose. Little things like maybe a bodykit and front bumper/grill swap is ok.

I have the real Racing Hart M5's 1-piecers in 18, and if you want to get the 3-piece, get 18's or you wont be happy.. because of the lip of the 3-piece they look an inch smaller.. i am thinking of getting some 19's and selling my 18's for around 1800 with tires (toyo proxies)..

I changed my mind...again.
I will get new rims. Just not sure which ones. I like the Volk TE37s, but they look a bit too plain.
The 3 piece M5s are really nice. I found a site that sell them a bit cheaper than the site I looked at initially.
