I wish I had 17 inch rims to yell at.....I have those terrible stock SE *cough* wheel covers *cough*

RaGePsYch0 · 06-29-2005, 02:18 PM

, well, i just spend too much money on my car, and i dont know why i didnt go with bigger than 17s. :-P

GT*STUNNA* · 06-29-2005, 04:08 PM

Def go w the 18s. Ur gonna keep telling urself. DAMMMMMMMMMMMMM I wish they were bigger. I probably would have purchased some 19s thank god I put my friends on my car. They looked good but the tires rubbed. So I would have had to get lower profile tires and the roads are horrible where I live so they would have got ruined fast. I am very content w my 18s

Way to bring one back from the dead. I'll plug Eagle 192's again... they looked hot on my ride.

Graxall · 02-03-2006, 09:18 PM

17's will look alot better in my pocket after i would have to spend 400dollars a rim every month cuz the roads here suck and the rim cracks/dents..

AaronGTR · 02-04-2006, 12:48 AM

17's look nice on a stock car lowered or not. 18's look good too though. Biggest diff is the 17's are lighter and a LOT cheaper (since everybody wants 18's). With a bodykit though 18's are definitely the way to go. I was happy with my 17's when I had a stock body. Now with a kit they look too small. They also don't line up with the outside edge anymore either, so I need a larger wider wheel with a small offset to move it out. Basically... 17's=ok, 18's=great, 19's= pretty good too, 20+ just plain ghey and don't look right.

i went through the same thing when i got my 185s last year. it took them 4 sets of rims to find a decent pair, and even those had some flaws, i just got tired of waiting and took the best looking ones. my last pic was back when i had my carbon fiber hood.

02-25-2006, 05:23 AM

damn blackgt2k really nice looking car. wish mine looked like that.

H.O. Driver · 02-25-2006, 07:13 AM

If they made the 185s in a 18" I would get them again, I loved the look of those rims on the GA, but just wish I had them in 18s

I am happy with my 077s, just for the fact they are 18s

blackgt2k · 02-25-2006, 08:08 AM

my rims against the truck rims look almost the same size the the lightning rims are 18's

12-21-2006, 12:17 AM

Let me ask this, how does a GAGT look with 18's, the 077 for example, without the car being lowered? Does it look alright?

Looks like ass to be honest.

I dont know, 16' rims look weak, and 17 is alright.... 18' rims I dont know if I like, or is too big for my taste...that just me thou

ryanbgb22 · 12-21-2006, 11:50 AM

in my opinion if your not planning on lowering go with 17's. theres a ga around me with fat-spoked 17's at stock ride height and the car doesnt really beg to be lowered; it would look better, but doenst need it.
