Default In 2 minds about new wheels...what you all think???

got these fitted today, theyre BK 102 bronze rims in 17", i loved them when i saw them on the shelf, and even after i got them on the car, but after going outside about 300 times to look at them, i'm not so sure anymore, i have the option of changing them, so everyones opinion would be much appreciated..

I personally don't like them but that's just my .02 cents. As long as YOU like them man... it doesn't matter what we think!

With a name like mugenracer I would think you would like mugen rims.
I do like mugen rims but i havent got the funds for them, I've priced them and theyre way out of my range.

I dont know what to do about the new wheels, i have till monday to decide, all of my friends love them, and to be honest those pics dont really do them any justice, but i'll sleep on it for a few nites and maybe they might grow on me some more. they look really well at nite, but its during the day that i do most of my driving, so we'll have to wait and see...they have the same design in black chrome, but i'd need to see them on the car before i would change for them.

I think they would look better if they they had a better finish and had a deep polished liped IMO.

Let's have a Coors

i like them, atleast they're not rotas.

they look like they weigh some though, the color matches nicely, but if your options are still in tact, you might want to consider them...

but even if you keep them, i wont flame

like i said the pics dont do them much justice...they have a very good finish (paint wise) and the lip is highly polished, it just doesnt show in the pics.

They might look heavy but they're only 16lbs each...which i think is lighter than stock 15s. Anywho...i've decided to keep them, here in ireland everyone has silver wheels, some of the supra guys have mat black rims, so these rims are totally different to everything else...i have never ever seen bronze rims on a car over here..so maybe i might start a trend, but hopefully not!

Anyways thanks for all your opinions

i think your car looks pretty crazy w/ those rims..they almost look like 18's..... get some one to drive next to you and video tape the wheels moving, i bet thatd loook even crazier. Its clean, different and unique.........
