Looks sharp, man! Good going

What other wheels were in the running?

;)Looks great on there,like the wheels with the upgraded grille,gives it a nice bold appeal.

Thanks guys. I looked at several wheels - Niche M150's, Foose Outcast, Niche M114 Surge, even looked at black chrome stockers.....some many wheels. I am not a huge fan of black wheels, so they had to be graphite or machined / silver.....I figured when I get bored of the silver / machined look, I can always have them powder coated a darker color....
I loved my stock wheels, but they were beat up pretty bad. Lots of scratches and clear was starting to peel. Going to have them fixed and refinished...

Love the wheels! shows off the brakes well...

But i really love the Tommy Z grille and the red surround!... Super Look! Great job RCS.

With the splash of red showing on the calipers, I think a machined wheel with polished "lip" would be tits on your car. You have a dark theme, dark red, tinted windows, black fender emblem, tad bit of chrome on various trim pieces and black tires. So a dark wheel in my opinion looks more gooderer on a dark car. Especially when the accents are right.

I want to highlight my calipers and the only color that would fit would be red. But Just a splash such as yours. Your car looks great either way.

Looks great, I had a set of Motegi that looked pretty similar on my 96 accord, again nice choice.

Looks FANTASTIC!

Still debating if I want a polished type rim or black. This makes the decision much harder as I was leaning black.

You wouldn't happen to be from MI?

very sharp. it's amazing the difference in the look of a car when you open up the wheels. only down side is more maintanence keeping the inside of the wheel clean, but it's worth it& you're right when you start looking at wheels the amount of choices are mind boggling. love your grill to death. wish i had ability to do it.

An important factor to take into consideration besides looks and appearance is the type of material the rims consist of,aluminuim alloy rim will be your best bet,for its lighter and sturdy material to give you the best of both worlds. http://tires.about.com/od/understanding_wheels/a/Wheel-Composition-And-Construction.htm

Your car looks good as hell. Do you have any shots from the rear by chance? I've currently got stock wheels that are 20"x8" and I'm giving some consideration to going to 20"x8.5" but I'm wanting to see the difference in how the wheels look from behind in terms of filling out the wheel well before I make a final decision.

The flower wheels are 20 x 8.5 here's some views of my car... Suspension and tires are stock. I plan a 1+ to 255 aspect and the Megan coilovers. Wanna drop the body 1/2 to 1 inch in front and 1 to 1.5 inches in back. Don't want o get tires of larger diameter and sacrifice the low end pull. Hrere's a recent thread with that kind of drop and Stuntz car: http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,4275.msg66365.html#msg66365
Hopes this helps.
