Help Choosing New Rims for the Coupe

[eyeball96]

The 18" Konig Unknowns are gone! Sold to a Dude in SWVA! So the Coupe is back on 15X7 Borbets....I love the ride of the OEM size wheels but I don't like the looks so much.

So I'm thinking 16's or 17" this time. I want more sidewall for the comfort (old farts need smooth)! Also a rim thats ez to maintain,(the unknowns were a bitch to wash) that I can run year round, something durable. Heres a few that I think would look good. Please help me decide with ur opinions, or post others that ya'll think would be better!

Tire Rack suggest 215/50 tires for the 17's and 205/60 for the 16's....will be getting Yoko Avids for sure!

Borbet Type XL 17x7.5 #1



Borbet Type fs 16x7 #2


Kazera KZS 17"x7.5 #3



MB's Drifters 16"x7 #4





WedssportsSA90 16"x7.5 #5


.....and if anyone wants to chop the wheels on the coupe, here's a recent pic...thanks in advance!

This Old Fart likes this one: Borbet Type fs 16x7(second one) and this one: Kazera KZS 17"x7.5 (third one).

The second one is my favorite. I do not like the GOLD...yuck! Talk about RICEY!

MB's

i like black on red, even the dark reds

[eyeball96]

Wow! Dood where you been? Thats pretty wild, I like those same two the best also!...old minds think alike!!

I would concider the bronze bc it would look good with my deep red exterior....and I'd be like Damon most of my mods use to be his anyways!!

[Venom_5]

what are u gonna do with ur current rims/tires? sell em?

[eyeball96]

^^^Probably......Going to run them awhile longer, I'll get new rims in the next 6 to 8 weeks!..or aleast thats the plan now!!.....why u interested in them?

[eyeball96]

I can get the wedssports in Gray too!

[Venom_5]

i was just wondering ... i would buy them if i had money, but alas - i never will! lol

[Red Camry]

Those MB's are kinda like mine. I have kazera 18"s in Aluminum

[bigbird]

i say either Borbet Type fs 16x7 #2, or WedssportsSA90 16"x7.5 #5 but in grey, looks alittle more classy, less racey.

[eyeball96]

I agree with the grey Wedssports being the better choice....but their 219 in bronze, and for the grey it'll cost me 50 more bucks each.......expensive ass grey paint....The MB's I can get from Discount Tire for 720 with Hankook Ventus 215/55's and free shipping! Here by next week!

I can get the Borbet FS's with the Yoko's Avids 205/60's for 961.75 from Tire Rack. I wouldn't get them until after 7/12...not avaible yet!!

The Kazera's are cheap..109 for 17x7...but the 205/50 Yoko's AVS are expensive,(more than the rim) as is shipping...1029.20....

I guess the Borbets are looking like the better deal as of now.....I'm still shopping tho!! "adding to my cart"

Anybody know of anywhere else I could shop for Rims, other than Discount and the Rack??

[Svanzy Ya]

go with the MB's - phat chrome lip 5 spoke design looks similar to what im rolling on - thats if you like that style, but it seems bold spokes and a big lip work out very well
ecxept i suggest you go with 17" size and a 45 series rubber, cause it would suit better and not look to blinged out - still a sporty, defined look

[Rdizzle]

i like the kazeras

[eyeball96]

^^^I do like your wheels...but I'm wanting more sidewall for ride comfort....I like the MB weapons too, in dark grey!



I can get this package for 722 with the hankook Ventus Tires 215/55/16....anybody know about the quality of these tires?
They must have been discontinued, Tire Rack doesn't list them!

[DAMON]

Im loving the wedsports in either color, those are kinda pricey... not too bad, but dont tell the wife! But seriously, go 17s joe- you wont regret it. The ride with 50 series is very close to stock IMO, thats what Im running on the solara...
