Rims

[kingjok3r]

So I'm rim shopping for my car. Thing is, I can't decide which would look best on it.

This is my car:

It's a 2008 Kia Rio5, and currently has 14". I'm planning on going 16-17" at the most, but I can't seem to make up my mind..

Here is what I have in mind so far:

Konig
Foil (the blue ones)
Swurve
Lace
Lightning
Backbone
Z-IN
Retrack
Feather
Illusion
Deception

Momo
Revenge
Next

American Racing
Santa Cruz

DAI
Emotion

Fast Wheels
Essen
Spectrum 5
Inferno
Radius
Venom

XXR
001
530
941
518
006
521
502

What do you guys think?

I do hope you're not planning on puttin that on some 22's

No I'm sticking to 16", possibly 17". Don't want to go too low profile cause the streets here are terribad, so i still need a bit of a cushion
And Max size is 18" for this car

i'd say go 16 with some meaty tires and a sexy stretch on 'em ;D gotta go wide in that case tho
how about some Volk te37's?

I like small stretches. nothing too big. Got a friend who owns a Performance ship with his friend, and both their cars have stretches.. One of em i like though

It might not be your cup of tea, but if you dig the oldschool look, you can check out some Work equip's

 

[kingjok3r]

Some old schools are nice, but i still like the new stuff as well

I fail to see any value or benefit of adding rims to a car. If someone could explain it to me, I'd appreciate it.

also it'd be hard to drive without any

What Rem said, and gotta be honest, steelies aren't the nicest especially in 14".. let alone with a hubcap >_>

Ah, I see you want rims, you have come to the right place. I see you live in a large hood, so you will need a special pair of rims for your car, not like the kind you are used to having. I introduce to you TIS Rims, some nice rims for a car like that. http://www.tiswheels.com/home/

You will also need some good hood speakers, I prefer kicker subs, but you can use whatever brand you like. First, make a box to put the subwoofers in place, as they will ride around the car, and you don't want that. Make the box look something like this:

You will also need some scissor doors, to make your car look even better. You are going to need to replace the hinges so they will be able to do something like this:

And here is the link to where you can buy a scissor door kit: http://www.verticaldoors.com/

And there you have it, your kia is now a hood car
