Default Getting rims and tires...want some feedback

Rims:

Tires:

I have a black Imp SS, so I thought the two tone would compliment it well.

Be as brutal as you need to be!

To be brutally honest, I think it will look really good

I also approve. your going to stay with the 235s though? you have an extra half inch of rim with those you dont think you could run 245s and not bulge?

They're OK. I'm not a fan of the skinny spokes on the sides of the large spokes besides that they're nice. A bit "tunerish."

I agree with what he said, minus the tuner'ish comment...but that's pretty much where Konig's belong.

I also agree about the tire size. Find the right 245 and go with it. No sense sticking with 235 if you can avoid it...and they're likely no different, price-wise.

Thanks for the input, yeah I think I will go with the 245, they're $10 more so not a huge gap.

I see what you're saying about the tunerish look, but I just wanted to find that black/silver or black/chrome color combo and didn't really see anything I liked in the fatter spoked rims. Most were black spokes with a chrome lip...not a huge fan.

You're car man... Make it how you want it. If you're not 100% happy with those keep your eyes open. I found mine on ebay for about $200 less than you can find any where. They're brand new too.

Good luck!
