Default Need Help on deciding which rims for EF9

I got an EF, teal color, lowered, I have been looking at rims for about a couple of days. I searched in the EF forums. I have decided to go with the Drag DR20 cause I dont want to spend alot of cash, if you have another selection of rims that have a lip of about 2 inches, let me know, I might be able to adjust my budget. I was thinking what color would you guys go with, I was deciding between the black and the gunmetal, I believe there is also white with machined face.

*****If you going to say something NEGATIVE dont say NOTHING AT ALL*****

I have a teal hatch too...took me a year to decide on wheels.

If the Drag's are the only wheels that are in your price range, the stick with them. Nicer wheels are sick (took me a while to save for mine), but buy what you are comfortable with. If you are open to other replicas, the Rota Track R (Sprint Harts) in white look pretty sick on teal as well.

If you spend just a little more money, you can get a set of some old school wheels from a few places that are around the net. They might need a little tlc, but you have them non the less. Good luck man.

Not too sure, but there really isn't a lip on the dr20's either. The ones that will fit are the +40 offset. They might have a .5" lip.

The DR20's are sick,and the si's, blades and fat 5s are always cool...but I've always been a fan of the Kosei K1's(but blacked out):

To OP in all reality do what you like it is your car and your taste not ours. Don't listen to some people you have never met and likely never will tell YOU how to build YOUR car that they will never see.
