looking for rims, need opinions/suggestions.

alright, when i bought my car, it came with the rims that Mains has on his car now. They were very nice looking rims but a little to flashy and big for the look i want.

so i bought some stock rims which i have always liked. but i didn't realize until i got them (being an srt n00b) that they were only 17x6 and after i dropped the car, the car just screams for some aftermarket rims.

i am looking for something CLEAN, with NO polished lip crap, just a single color. i am looking for either gunmetal, dark bronze, or black to give people an idea of what im lookin for :grin: also 17x6 or 17x8.

heres a before pic (18" konigs, stock suspension)


heres a current pic (stock rims, eibach sportlines) and bad rear camber



heres a couple rims i have been looking at.

konig Zero


konig runaway

 

i say if you can get the konig zero in a white powdercoat with a red or polished lip, they would set off the look of the car.

 

i still like the stocker best!!!! do some paint or powder coating to them!!!!

 

the zero's are hot, i've always loved those.

 

Get the runaways... /thread. They have a dish for the spokes.

 

I like my rims, 5Zigen FN01RC's, 17x8, bronze, 17.5lbs each. They're some of the lightest rims in 17x8 that you can get, they also come in gunmetal with polished lip, white, and flat black. I believe the set was $895.

 

OR get a set of Velox wheels in 17x7 and they only weigh 12.5lbs each. $1200 for a set though.

 

see, i love the 5zigens, but im not made of money .:future:

the zeros or runaways would be ~900$ with hub rings, lug nuts, tires mounted/balanced and installed.

5 zigens would be about 1300$

right now im in a debate between the runaways and the zeros.. not sure if i wanna lip or not..

 

I like how the runaways have a deeper dish and the spokes go farther in. Tahts one of the reasons why I got rid of the stock SRT-4 rims for summer time. Didn't like the flat outside look, and of course the 6'' wagon width at 21lbs each.

 

Have you looked at Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's? They're 17x7, but they're also extremely light, and they're a good deal cheaper than the 5Zigen's. I believe they weigh less than 16lbs each. I think they go for about $600 a set. Pair it up with some General Exclaim UHPs and you have a decent combo and unsprung less weight.

I used to have a set on my ACR.

 

those rims are pretty nice actually, might have to look into em..

heres a couple quick shatty chops i did of the zeros and runaways...

im kinda leaning towards the look of the runaways in 17x8

 

I love the last one Nate... get that shit son

 

yeah, im having some trouble choosing.. i like the style of both rims, its coming down to having a nice dish, or the 'bigger rim look' with the flat face.
