What do you think?

Hey guys.... I've been looking for some new rims for my tarmac Ralliart. I'm not a big fan of black rims, black car, but do like some that have a mix of black and silver. I came across these Rota Group A rims, color is steel gray and cost $749 shipped. What do you think?

Check out tire rack. They have a huge assortment, and you can get some idea of what they will look like on your car.

Yea I've looked at the site before. They have some really neat rims. I think they just added some new ones. I kinda like the OZ Racing wheels. There's a couple of rims that I really like but there around $390 for each rim! OUCH! lol The other ones are $750 for 4 shipped! SOLD haha jk

Nice,

Hey Taranis, do those rims you have come in a lighter color? Like silver or steel grey? And what brand are the rims and how much, if you don't mind me asking? I might get those but with a lighter color.

They are OZ Ultraleggeras, 18x8, $348 each from Tire Rack. And they do come in gold and silver as well. =)

Sweeeeeeeet. I think these are the ones. I love the way they look! Did you buy the monitoring system sensors with the wheels? They make it sound like its essential. Good lookin out....

I did, however the ones I got from Tire Rack were not able to be programmed for the car by any of my local shops, so I had to take it to the dealer, which cost an arm and a leg. If I had to do it again I'd probably just move my stock TPMS to the new wheels/tires and not have them for the winter setup, as it's not worth the trouble (or money) re-calibrating them twice a year since our cars can only store the info for 1 set of sensors. =/

For your consideration:



BBS CH Black

That, I think, looks very similar to the selection that you already have going there. Plus, they used to come as part of the sport package on many Saab's. I wonder if you could find a set that fit.

Those are nice NFSLancerRA.... but me personally, I like the silver or gunmetal color rather than black. Here's the silver version of the BBS- CH. Nice.... but $470 per wheel.
