The majority of those "bling bling" wheels also serve a purpose to lighten up your vehicle. Compare Fikse FM5s to those chrome SS rims and you'll see probably at least 40lbs total of weight savings. That might not sound like much, but 10lbs per wheel of unsprung weight = big deal. So its not all just about "looking good", they serve a REAL performance purpose.

The rims 99blancoSS recommended are really nice. Yeah, they're pricey as **** but they look good and come in a variety of color combinations.

Here's W2W's GTO with them in black of course

You want that stance - talk with Sam Strano of Stranoparts.com in the suspension section. He'll be able to recommend you some springs/shocks to get that look.

Default Interested in some nice forged rims?

I've got some 17' forgeline that would look great on your car and I am selling them in your price range it is a steal since each rim is worth 600 a piece new and I am letting them go with Nitto DR on the rear and Firestones on the front. Give me a PM and I will send you some pics if intst'd
