The people spoke. My rims(edit:wheels) are history?

Alright, so which rims (edit:wheels) would look good on my car? I got tons of negative feedback on my rims(edit:wheels), but I like them and they are staying on unless...
If someone can point out a set of rims(edit:wheels) that's hot enough. I will make that my next mod after the engine swap guarenteed. Please no "Zell, don't change your rims(edit:wheels) because of others opinions" post. I have money to throw around and want to have some fun.

editkay wisea$$e$. I'm going to bed now, thanks for the input.

Well the rims looked ok, but the wheel wasnt very nice to look at


But for a nice wheel (or rims as you reffer to them) go for the chrome Z06's they are jsut sexy.

If you have money to throw around, and you like your rims, then the only logical thing to do is to keep your rims, and give me your money.

Check out some Z06 rims, they look really nice on Fbods, especially the 18's... I would probably go with 17s for myself because I don't want to deal with all the other sh*t you gotta do with 18's...17s are good enough for me with no comprimises.

If you can't find any, just ask people on here, a lot of people have them...

I've got a set of tail lights from an '01 for sale, that with new wheels, and that car would be bad ass.

Thumbs up

I like them.

You got a lot of edges here and there with the hood, bodykit, and spoiler and the rims....errr wheels match the style pretty well. Some people just half ass their car and throw anything on there but yours went for a certain look and it worked. I also like the altezza tail lamps with that look.
