what do you think of these wheels?
 

Well, I can buy these Riken wheels, brand new, for $500.

What do you guys think? I think they look great, but i'm not too sure about the color. I've never seen gold wheels on a white 7, and I don't want to have to repaint them if I don't like them (probably won't) Can anyone post some pics? I just want to get an idea on how gold looks.
Thanks.

Those my friend are sweet as rims!!!

I dont think they will look good on a white FB, You can have someone photochop them on there for you, people in the lounge will do it no prob.

Pic those rims up though fo sho, they are in AWESOME condition, and for 500 you cnat beat it!

Grab em, and proudly use them. Even if gold doesn't look the best on a white car. They will look sweet as hell though.

I've seen gold mesh rims on a white fb before.....IT ACTUALLY LOOKED REALLY GOOD! I say do it! 500 bucks is not a bad deal!!!

those are freakin sweet! if i were in your position i wouldnt hesitate

definately buy those. my buddie has a white protege and he used to have gold/bronze wheels on it and he got complimented all the time.

Would it be hard to paint the gold part black? I have some old ones and condidered it but i dont want it to look funky? anyone done it b4?

its not a big deal. take your time. youll need masking tape and a razor blade. do a few coats

It is SERIOUSLY easy to paint wheels, or to strip them.

I def. like them how they are. Anyhow, pic them up. Very nice for the price.

A big thumbs up for gold rims

Buy them, and add a gold pinstripe to the car, that will set both of them off.

+1

YES! GET them.....you wont be sorry. They will look fantastic on a white. Black mesh rims come a dime a dozen now.....dont jump on that band wagon. Go for the GOLD baby! Very nice rims!


( I like the black mesh rims too guys so dont kill me posting this) :)

yeah, I like the black mesh w/ polished lip too, but this is so different and cool. :cool:

What am I supposed to do for wheel lugs? Will the orginal SA ones fit, or do I need something special?

thanks for the input people!

Get the wheels then worry about that (lugs). I think B.V sells the lugs you will need for those wheels. Oh my bad they changed the name to Black Dragon.

You can probably find the lugs you need at your local parts store.

They would look great on your white 7, definately do the gold pin striping and maybe a couple of other gold touches to bring it all together.

Or you could forget about buying them,and give me the sellers name so I can buy them.I am not sure how they would look on a Spark Yellow GS,but I would be willing to give it a try.

I know they'd rock on my red 85 GSL.......:)

I have some Kosie K1's if you want to trade. I think those would look nice on my car. lol

I think gold on white would look good. I love my Rikens, black on silver

if you got a dead on shot of one of the rims ill do the photoshopin' for ya

i think they would look great.

Reasons to buy those wheels.

1. Rare and hard to find
2. Killer price, could be resold for more.
3. Rim is wider than the LE or SE wheels, wider tires, more cornering fun.
4. You won't find another deal like this, unless you are Camocarl,lol.
5. They will look good on a white car.

If you want a different color, or powdercoated centers, PM me.
