personally i think you should have gone at least 19 inch in that style rim, I am really liking the black with polished lip look lately!
Nice choice.

I would have gone 19's but (A) budget didn't allow me to, and (B) they only had 18's, otherwise I would have to wait another 2 months, and i didn't wanna do that. Lol

Lovely. Nice rim indeed. Could be an inspiration for Bucky's car - they would look great on a Black XR!

I'm a bit partial to black rims. Nothing better I think.

No rim change for me just yet.

I am pretty sure they are Koya Race Tek rims. I think they are roughly $2k (with tyres) for 19" but that was about a year ago.



Nice rims by the way and they look very good on the white!

Koya has the best line up of rims on the market. Some tough choices. The race tek are nice. I'll have mine in 19's. What are they worth I wonder. Although, no new rims for Buckie, I just knocked back a set of 19's most recently.

They are Koya Race Tek, they won't be available for about 2 months as there is a wait on the next shipment.

Check them out at: Koya Wheels

18's are fine...just dump the car on its guts. The lower the car IMHO the bigger the 'smaller' wheels look....

Sweet contrast to the white and dark as tint, love it
