Which Wheels...185 or 077s?

The title says it all....any suggestions or pics either way? I like both so much...I will be going with polished either way. So, opinions are welcome!

Thanks,
Brett

DO NOT GET 17's
You might as well forget it.

Get 18's and buy SilverGT1 or DumpsterDamon's. If you cannot afford theirs, then you should not be buying wheels.

If I ever become a tire dealer, I will definitely do business with you.

I can't agree more. I have 17's and I still like the look of my car. But the Eagle's 077's in 18's look awesome. When I get my car boosted, I'll be going to 18's, I find that a 4 cylinder has more trouble turning them versus the 3400. SilverGT, your car looks awesome with the 18's!

i want 16 inch black rims so take my advice with a grain of sulfur.

the 077s are sheep rims, everyone got em cause they were cheap, and now like sharkskin suits they are played out *adjusts sharkskin lapels*.

get rims YOU LIKE... unless you like the 077s or 185s, but honestly, im sure if you look up some more rims you can find something nicer that is more appealing to you... but thats just me

good luck with your rims purchase

everyone got the rims because they LOOK GOOD...the price is an added bonus.

there are only 2 or 3 other wheels I have seen that I would even think of putting on the GA (not taking into consideration high end wheels).

Yup... I agree. I was going to get 077s when I bought my rims, but I could only get chrome 18s which I could not afford, nor the $255 per tire.

I went with my second choice. 17" 192s.

Not as played out as mine

And who says the 077's are played out?? How many cars do you see everyday rolling on 077's? Unless every car on your block has those wheels, then they are not played out. The many people on this site who do have them you may not ever meet anyway. On that note, I'm not getting an SC/T hood because it's "played out".

i know a 35 year old woman with a sc/t hood, its definitly played out...

AND EVERYONE on my block does have 077s.

its just like, been there done that, everyones seen em, do something different... i have faith in people to go with their instinct rather then what someone else was so bold to do first, but im just a ****y fellow who likes people to do something different and impress people with their originality... and silvergt whatever's car looks beautiful with them on... but biting other peoples style is bleh...
