I just got my tax return $$ and i wanna get some new shoes for the neon except i never look for them cuz i never had the money. So if anybody knows good websites or some sweet wheels that might look good let me know. I was thinking white would look sweet...

+1 for the Volks, might look into some of thier Magnesium TE37's. They're the dark blue ones.

White rims are just...ewww IMO. Go with black or bronze. What refect said basically.

SSR's if you got the dough for Volk. On the cheap = Kosei or Team Dynamics or Rota. All good, race bred wheels. :)

I hear SSR's are hard to find now...since they went bankrupt or whatever?

Yeah, J's got collector's item wheels. Buttmunch has everything...j/k
There are alot of cheap/lightweight/strong wheels out there. Just gotta' search.

SCC did a whole issue on wheel weights and such. He could hit their website and research.

Wedsports are frickin' badass. Almost got those but too much $$$

I just picked up some 16X7 black rota slipstreams for my red r/t with the tax money. Should be here friday. But I have to get them bored out 1mm to fit.

Volks are worth the money, but $2200 for rims is out of most people reach. And for a Neon? What is the point of that?

Axis Reverbs are staggard fitment RWD drift styleez wheels. Not gonna fit on a FWD car.

If you want good quality, light weight rims that are not too flashy but still durable and look good on a Neon, Kosei K1s. Tire Rack has them for like $135 a piece. Order them WITHOUT tires and get tires from www.edgeracing.com for cheap and you will have a great set of street/track-able rims. I loved my Koseis. I had them on my 1st gen and 2nd gen.

I would not mind a set of 17" K1's myself. Powdercoated black. That would be just fine!

17" K1s in a bronze color would look sweet, you would have to powder coat them though. I'm normally a small wheel guy, but I think 2nd gens look best with 17"s or 18"s. A 17x7.5" will fit on a 2nd gen won't it, even maybe with spacers?

Rota D2 in 17x7.5 would be sweet and very different:

Get something that leaves you enough left over for lowering springs. ;)
