Default Rims.

I am looking for rims for my car. I have looked at tire rack but I am wondering where else I should look. I am looking for something nice looking but quality. Also, what are the weight of stock rims? Is there any material or brand I should stay away from?

Stay away from heavy chrome gay ****, and Rota.

Also, what is your budget?

I guess my budget would be 1g max. But it all depends on how much a good set runs for. I had cheap *** steel rims on an old suv i owned years ago. Other than that, I don't know the cost of a good set of rims.

What about these?

Or what about these?

Thx

i have seen directional rims work on eclipse before, but that's only on the side where the rims are being directed forward, they always look weird on the other side that's directing backward

Yea, I was wondering about if the directionals would come setup for left and right side. I'm glad you guys pointed that out. And I didn't realize the lip was chrome.

And that, ladies and gents, is why I love this forum.

I'll post again if I see anything else. You guys see these? I'm not buying them, but damn, 6lbs!!!

These are my fav...



They are Work Emotion CR KAi in Bronze. They also come in White, Gunmetal, and polished.

Also, the blue lettering is optional.

What color did you say your car was?

They are extremely strong. There was a Touring Car Championship some place in Europe, and there was a M3 GTR that had those rims.... and it won
