Arrow opinions on these wheels...

ok, i have been looking for wheels for some time now.. i have ruled out Z06, ZR1's and TT2's... i just see them too much..

i also only have about a grand to spend on wheels and tires, so my choices have been minimal..

these wheels kinda feel like they should be on an import, but i think i may be able to pull them off.. the only drawback i see is that they are only 8" wide.. and i know about the bmw bolt pattern, and i'm comfortable with it.. i am thinking about these wheels purely on a cosmetic level.. i just wanna look hella cool

18x8 wheels

lemme know what you guys think, good or bad..

thanks,
josh

EDIT: oh yea, if you guys think i shouldnt get these, help me find some enkei v1's!!

Yeah they are very nice wheels man. I think you could pull it off. I got ADR's too but mine are 19" and also 8" wide. Some people are gonna give you grief for getting 8" wide wheel but if your after the looks then go for'em, i did.

245 is plenty wide, especially with the lower sidewall. I say go for it. I'd prefer lips, too, but sometimes you just have to be different!

i really like the look of those, but i think they would look alot better with a bigger lip on them and a little bit wider wheel as well. but overall i think they look really good i think.

whoa, Stang_Killa i know where you got those!! i was looking at a set of those too, but 19 is just too big for me (and they were a little out of my price range)they look suweeet on your car!! they are bmw bolt pattern, right?

thanks for the input guys... i wanted to make sure i wasnt having one of those "thats a kid only a mother could love" moments

oh yea, there is another set i was looking at, about the same price range and size.. but not chrome..

clickaroo

these have a lip, but i have always leaned more towards a 5 star design.. and i have seen these on two other f-bod's...

if it came down to it, which would you guys choose?

thanks again,

josh

Thanks


I would go with the ADR's if it was your last option. There are a tons of wheels out there with that lip. Try and look for more options. But if you're set on one of those two then go with the ADR's
