I am feeling left out cuz I dont have rims. Most people make rims their first mod but not me :? I need some help on choosing which size would be best for me. John was explaining to me yesterday what the sizes mean but I am still a little confused :roll:  I want bigger for sure but not sure how big.  I have 16s on right now.

Can I go to 19 or should I go to 18 only? Do I have to drop it for the car to to look good? I dont want my car so low in the winter. Help me people...
Here are the ones I am looking at.  Tell me what you think...gunmetal or hyperblack...

I'm not sure where exactly you live..but with the way the roads are in NJ and NY..i wouldn't go bigger then 18's.

I personally like the DL-46 in hyperblack.  And from what I've seen..sometimes a drop isn't needed when you get rims..but sometimes u will need it.  look at Chris' pics with the rims on without the drop.  thats what ur car would look like..if u don't like that, then u would need a drop..but this is just my .02.

I like the Gun Metal rims on your first or second post Nancy... I love that look, plus they will complement the black on your ride...

Awww man, I was liking the holes the best! I am looking at 3 or 4 right now.

I wish I could find a nice hyperblack rim with a red lip.

I really like these cuz you can get a red center cap for them...
