Default Which hpr5 wheels?

I want to get the hpr5 wheels. Im leaning towards hyperdark in a set of staggered 18s, but i guess hyperdark has been discontinued. I can get them in 19s but would this be too big? should i go with a different color in 18s?

Im pretty sure you can still get hyper dark wheels. Im positive that they dont come in chrome though. I would be getting 19s but you cant get a sticky tire in 19" sizes, so Ill probably end up going with 18s.

I think that the hyperdarks would look killer on your car. Especiall since its pewter, and you already have the GFX. If you were to add a nice grill, corner lights, and the whistler mod to your headlights you would have an awesome setup for not that much money!

i agree, hyperdark on your car would be the best set up. See if you can get 18s so you can still run a sticky and trust me, lowered on 18's will look big and sick enough! Good luck and keep us updated. Def the hyperdarks. If they are discontinued, try eBay maybe. Someones got to have them... somewhere....someplace

They are discontinued. I talked to HP when I wanted them for my silver TA. I looked man, non to be found. I liked the wheel enough I just got the hyper lights, but dark was what I wanted too. F**king HP.......Lost alot of possible money
