    help with rims

    i finally have enough money for some decent rims. i want black konig heliums. when i get them, i will paint my tails and corner lights and such so it goes with the black andlooks all stealthy. but i need to find a site that i can get a package with tires for about 700 bucks, there was a good one i was t a while ago that lets you pick tires and colors and all but i cant remember it. help me please, i wanna order these puppies!!! thanks

    1200 is way too much, ive seen with my own eyes wheel and tire pckages with konig heliums and falken tires (decen ones) for i think it ws 750, and im finding them for around 800 - 900 right now. so i know theyre out there, i tried wheelmax and didnt like it much. andi didnt post in the suspension section because i figured people get sick of questions like these sort of like where can i get anntake for my car in the perforance section

    yeah i kinda have to. insurance totalled it so now it has asalvaged title which means no one will pay 5500 to buy it. but the good news is that there was no frame damage, just the lower core support which was pulled out. the rest will be pretty cheap as well, so i will have roughly 800 to spend on rims and tires. i think my final decision is black rota slipstreams. i wanted black heliums, but they only come in bronze and silver=(

    I tried to hint at it, now I'll just say it.

    This thread should not have been posted in offtopic, next time please post in the correct forum section.

    oh, ill get plenty of pics. i dont want the black to look funny so im gonna tint the tails and the front light covers, and anything else i can make darker without bieng ugly. i wouldn mnd making my interior black, but its too much work. i want to get some seat covers from wetokole.com. im thinking about taking my bckseats out as well. wouldnt mind getting my windows tinted a little bit, but i cant really justify spending money on tinting my windows, soi don think i evr will. if it don make it go faster or handle better then im usually not gonna buy it. any other hints on things i can paint black? im going for the dark stealthy look . . . god i wish my car was black

    ok i changed my mind again, im gonna get rota circuit 8s. flat black ones. th only difference in the rim compared to the slipstream is that the circuit 8s have a 38mm offset and the slips have a 40mm offset. can i get the cicuits with the 38mm offset? cuz i want those ones more. thanks

    38mm offset + 205/50-15 = Must roll rear fenders to clear during max cornering or max load.

    If you don't want to bother with rolling the rear fenders pick another combo that gives you 40mm to 45mm offset.
