Silver... I almost always say gunmetal but I don't know how it would look on the blue.

No offense, but those would look pretty cheap on your 2k2. There are much better looking wheels out there with similar weights out there.

hmmm...

For a dark blue car...
Go with Gun-metal for the aggressive look, and go with white for the touring style look.

if those are the rota subzero / konig subzero then I can tell you that the finish quality on the silver is very poor (i've seen it in person) you will want to pick anything but silver. Also don't forget that you need hubcentric rings and tuner lugs for them to fit.

It's a centering ring to keep the wheel centered on the hub. Stock rims are already hubcentric and don't need them.

. I say buy Racing Harts, especially if its for a 2002 Max. They've got a name, they're forged (strong), and extremely light. Althoug mine weighed .6 lbs more than Racing Hart advertised...

some of us want to look the best possible, while others are willing to go all out for performance which means putting looks aside. These wheels are very light, almost as light as volks and they cost $1500 less than the volks. That 1500 could be used to buy a lot of performace parts

This is the rims that Steve is getting. It is the same as mines, exactly the same and mines is also made by Rotas. The exception is that Steve's will be 18x8.5 or was it 18x8? My rims is 18x7.5.





Congrats on the Rim Steveee boy, but I got it first, na na na naaaa naaaaaaa!!!!

these look different then yours

now that i think of it, Steve, since you seem to be all about performance, the gun metal would suit you well they would look really cool on a dark blue car..

A few people have them...

A few people have the Rotas (2 I think), and myself as well as 1 other person have the Racing Harts. Both are good wheels, one half the price of the other, and neither have had strengh issues (though the RHs are SSF). I think they look good on a 4th gen Max, but look in my sig and decide for youself.
