new rims and tires opinion

robkouvelis · 08-20-2019, 02:22 PM

So I need new rims as my oems are slightly out of round and I've decided on the Drag dr-73 18x8. Currently I have style 284s in black, the dr-73s come in black and bronze and leaning on the bronze but not sure if it will look good. I have shadow line trim, black kidney grills and black exhaust tips. Will probably go with general gmax as-05 235 40 r18, I have pilot sport as3+ and not very happy with them... handling and steering is great but winter performance sucks and they made the car ride like an f350. Any tire recommendations?

On a white car, I like lighter color wheels. Not a fan of chrome though. Just my $.02

Now if you go with some black accents on it, you could definitely pull off some darker rims. I do dig the stormtrooper'd out cars.

Problem with black wheels is that it's hard to make out the design under low light.
But black wheels hide brake dust well!

Can't argue against classic 5-spoke wheels. It's clean, timeless and safe.
