Rims, Rims and more rims

[Mr.Badguy]

when i got my VX two and a half years ago, the chrome was coming off my stock wheels, and one was bent, so i went to a local tire shop and made a "deal" on new rims and tires. I went with the AR Fuel rims, 18 inch. I was going to go to 16 inch, to open up more of a selection of what tires i could put on, but the owner of the shop said that if the car was made with 18 inch rims i had to stay with it. something to do with vehicle weight and speed.

Seems like the only thing that fits my rims are bridgestone deulers. Anyway..i don't know if this helps, but there is a picture of my VX with the AR Fuel Rims in my photo gallery. I am happy with the way they look. I think that's all i can say.

Hope this reply has been helpful

So what does any one know about powder coated rims? I am looking at these for a budget replacement of my stockers. I really want Teflon but just plain cant afford it.

So, even though the beast has 18" rims and tires, I can "downsize" to a 16" or 17" and associated tires?

yea 16 and 17" wheels (with the right offset, bolt pattern and hub bore of course) will fit with no problems.. some have even gone to 15" but that may require some minor modifications

How does anyone feel about painting rims. I dont know how well you can paint over chrome but I have found some wheel paint.
