Unhappy wheel dilemma continues.....

Well I tried ordering the wheels last night and it didnt work out because the Slipstreams dont come in gunmetal in the 4x114.3 pattern. sucks. The reason I was gonna go with wheels was cause the stock phone dial wheels with 185/70/14 tires werent really cutting it anymore. I tried calling Alta in Rosemead and they dont have any watanabes in stock over 14'. I was set on either getting the slipstreams, attack style wheels or watanabes. I dont have too much cash right now (about 750). Any suggestions on other cool wheels similar to the ones ive mentioned? Thanks

rota makes some gram light knock offs (attacks), but I don't know of any 17 inch rota wheel that comes in an offset less than +45. here are the ones I'm talking about. You can get a better offset with the fifteen inch wheels. click on wheel info

Get some wheel covers from Target/Kmart. They are light, and look flashy!

http://www.machiii.net/machiii/html/...lipstream.html

16" on that site, 4x114.x3 gunmetal. Besides, don't let color be your only deciding factor... and savannah grey looks good... black... white... gold... what color is your car?

That's a great wheel for the $$. Very light, and looks good.

Yea I called them and another place carrying the wheel and they said Rota doesnt even make them in gunmetal for the 4x114.3 bolt pattern. My cars white and I was considering going with the steel grey wheels possibly. What do you think? Thanks for the reply.

Just another option. They're black opal, light weight, and a five star rim. Oh and come with tires

Check 'em out

On a WHITE car, I would put either white or gold. Preferably white.
