New rims -What do you think? Edit - Added New pics(56K ouch)

DP6 Hyper Black

42mm offset so I am going to get 5mm spacers all around to give it a 37mm off set. I am hoping with that I will be able to fit 215/40/17 on with no rubbing issues. I want the wider tire to protect that lip.

Bad part is I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for them to show up. Good part is I can pay off the Credit Card in time to throw the rubber on it.

I am a little nervous if they will look good on my Blaze Red R/T as I have not seen many of this style around.

Well 6 to 8 weeks turned out to be 5 days... My Credit Card is on life support now but here are the results

They look good with a red car that's for sure. Couldn't picture them on a different color looking good.

I bet a handicapped person would hate you stealing their spot though, he might let you have it just cause of your nice rims though.

Those are the same wheels I was looking at! Great choice dood! They look great on your car!

Don't mean to point out bad things but...Why do the B pillar covers always do that fading/fogging thing, I have seen it on quite a few Newer Neons...

Thx

The B pillers piss me off...Just not enough to spend $150 on the carbon fiber ones....YET

They were fine until I used one of those drive thru car washes with the super wax in three colors.

Yeah no Spacers. I think I may get some for the rear tho as I want to move the wheels out a bit.

I am getting pooped on the other .org for parking in the handicap spot. :D

It was an empty park or I would have parked on the grass instead: :lol:

Do you have you car lowered? Just curious, cause it 'looks' like it is.

Yeah lowered on H&R Sport springs. Drop is 1.5 Front 1.4 Rear. It has settled a bit tho.

Still on Stock Struts but as sooon as my Credit Card is off life support I think I am going to brave the Koni insert install. If I cannot make it go fast (damn NGC) I want it to ride and handle nice.

My GF thinks I am nuts to spend all the money I do on my car. But that is why she is still my GF and not the wife :lol: Please Note I will deny saying that at all costs...

Thx again for all the nice comments.
