Default Rims

Hi whats up guys. Im new here, well not exacly. I had an account, but i forgot my password for it, so i desided to make a new one. So here i am. I got a 3g Eclipse 2001 Gt, 240hp.

I just got my tax return money and want to buy my self some rims. Im thinking Deep dish rims, but not sure where to find Deep Dish rims for my car, like around 2-3 in front lip and 4+ in the back.

Here is a link of what i found so far on line, tell me if that would look good on my car or if u got better, to show me. (im looking for 18in)

I think they'll look pretty clean on your car, man, but when it comes down to it, it's all in the attitude you want your car to have (type of body kit, spoiler style, etc.). Just remember that YOU must like your car before anyone else will.

start with the easy part first...the body kit. The kind of kit that you get should give you a hint of what kind of rims you want and what kind of spoiler you want. If you want a car that says "Get out the way" when you see it behind you, then you want rims that say "hello & good bye" when you see them pass you. Am I makin' sense?

if there is a tire store you can go there they can show you what rims work on the car and they also have a large catalog. I know up here we have town fair tire, not sure what you guys have down there.

do you have a dyno sheet to prove that 240hp or is it just a guess going by the manufacturers rated HP for each product?
