Rim decision

OK guys today i found out one of my rims is bent like i figured it was. AND im going to lower the car and putting a bodykit on it so the only way to raise a lowered car is bigger rims. Im getting 17" rims but i need you guys to help me out. Going with a black and beige(gold/brown [w.e you wanna call the color of my car] ) for those who dont know my car its in the first page of the picture thread so i want to get black with a chrome lip rims. I'm haveing a hard time picking between these three rims





i like all of the but the first ones look like the ones on my car right now which i like... but ive been looking at the 5 and 6 spoke rims adn they look nice. HELP ME CHOOSE!

i say go 18" because these black 17" will look like 16" since they have a lip and they're black. Also- make sure you know ur proper offsets so you don't grab a set that'll be sunken in cuz that'd be all bad. Or - get 17" but no lip- that way they can appear to be bigger than what they really are. Good Luck.

I was going to buy rim #2 for my gen 4 in gun metal but the factory was sold out when I bought rims. But I hear people saying that the rims are not that strong and the paint is horrible. I seen a honda civic with those brand rims and all were bent really bad.

Enkei makes a 6 spoke rim that's somewhat similar to that 7 spoke Motegi. Enkei is known for high quality and good paint finishes. It's the Es6. You can see it at TireRack.com

I say 2 because the 1st looks too busy to me, and I hate the look of universal wheels with the extra lug holes so the 3rd is out of the question for me.

Yo son u live where wheels bend easily and didn't you have 15's and it bend imagine with cheap 17's with less sidewall than 15's!!! Just be careful driving around the minute you lower it with 17's.

Anyways I say the #2

I like the Drags on the 94. (that Bird bought)...They seem to be holding up well, run true, and shine up well! EZ to wash too. There better than the ADR's I run on the 96.

I say #3

I suggest 215/50's with the pot holes! I believe thats the most sidewall u can go with, with 17" rims and a drop!
