Rims the right way

Alright I think we can all remember my ulgy *** rims I still own.

Where are these pics of these 'ugly ***' rims

The gramlight 57c's are popular, but, imo, they are getting so overplayed, they are becoming the next TE37...

I like the GT7s a lot, or the GTPs

16" Konigs. And in a 7" or 7.5" width, IIRC.

bronze ce28n with +35 (i think) will look sick,IMO, with your color blue. or you can play out silver wheels like everyone else. gunmetal may look aiite, but its blah. i got the volk challenge in gunmetal, has a polished lip...looks alright. then again, my opinion.

Lets see here, I would personally put some 2pc BBS LM's on it, anodized gold with a polished lip, 18x10 R, 18x9 F, but thats just me. I'm sure the 2pc BBS LM's don't come in anodized gold, but whos to say they can't be powdercoated!

hey Mahjik...looking through this and saw your 3rd gen pic...them rims are very nice and I am a fan of Volks...yeah Im on the bandwagon and myself like the TE-37's, but I was just wondering what bodykit you have on your car...I like the dark color look makes it seem so smooth...I really like how the front looks from the angled view...and I think some Work Meister rims are very nice...I like the "basic 5,6 spoke rims" but those SE37A's are nice also...
