Black rims with a crome lip NEED OPINION

Wanted to know what you guys thought of these rims. How do you think they would look on the FD. I would get them in black with a chrome lipon my white FD. Also what do you guys think of DPE. I Don't know to much about them. Thanks

1. It's spelled "chrome."

2. True chrome is very heavy. It's likely those are just polished metal, probably aluminum alloy.

3. It's your car, don't be afraid to make it look the way you want to.

DPE is da ****! A bit pricy for me, but prolly well worth the price. Iforged would be cheaper, but I don't know if they have any design you like.

That wheel will look great with nice looking body kit. I'm not sure if 'futuristic' look of the wheel will compliment the stock car tho. Good luck!

Ha ha, aren't we all?

Why don't you look into SSR Prof. SP1 from Tirerack as they have those in stock? Look very similar, but I like SSR better cuz of rivets. But, the spokes would be shorter. Get 'em in 19 if you'd want a longer spokes. The best part is....they are not that pricy! ~ 450 for 18*9.5. Works will be much more than that, I think.???

DPE are nice. Personally, I like the new black textured finish from Kinesis

Sweet wheels, Gene. How much do they weigh, and if you don't mind divulging the price, how much?

Thanks.

The fronts are 18x10 and weigh 21 lbs. Rears are 18x11 and are 24 lbs. Price is $1100 for 18x10 and $1200 for 18x11. Each!
