Default Upgraded rims on a CE TA?
I have a CE TA and was thinking about getting some new rims. I want to keep with the black and polished lip. Any suggestions about new styles? I'm tempted to keep them, but I have some money burning a hole in my pocket and debating this or cam.

fyi, I'd keep the stockers, mine are tucked away in the garage, but if you must part with them put them up on collectorfbody.com they will go quick there.

Oya, those look very sweet. Where'd you get them? What springs do you have?

No way I'd part with the original rims

+ 1,000,000 for the cam. ~Joshua


The rims are black, nobody can even see the design anyway, I'd spend the money on a cam/supplies.
