I need everyone's opinions PUHHLLEASSSSEEEE
hey everyone i need some NAM opinions .....i have a liquid yellow black roof top black stripes and black boot protector strip and joey modded heads and smoked tails ....smoked markers and reflectors ...and soon a nice tint .....anywho im in the market for replica rims or cheaper rims whatever you wanna call it and the black on polished lips ive found all look kinda weak ...the lip rounds out rahter than having a nice sharp finish of the lip and making the offset look nicer ....but ive found some polised and anthracite rims with the nice sharp lip im looking for ...the offset is not as deep but it looks good regardless....what im asking though is opinions on all my scheme of black and yellow ...would smoked rims look right ?...or should i go with polished so accent the existing chrome trim all around ...here are pics of both rims ....please negative or positive comments i want all i would like to see what everyone thinks ...

My only comment has to do with the dealer. Wheelmax is not a great quality product. The finish of the wheels tends to be a bit lacking. I've got a set of the gun metal wheels and the finish is wearing bad. If you frequent motoring/underground.com ask them how they feel about Wheelmax. Have you tried any of the other dealers, like www.1010tires.com or www.tirerack.com?

for your car, I'd go black w/ chrome as choice 1

hey everyone thanks for the opinions and long story short i think scottinbend hit the nail on the head ive been researching lots and found the general concensus is that wheelmax has poor quality but i found tire rack has these asa's in 17 inch .... do u think 17s will be too small ? lol and also what tire size would u recommend ....
i think im def leaning on buying these asa rims

Call up Absolute Motoring and tell them Francisco referred you. They sell just about any brand you can think of. Tell them a design you're looking for and a budget and they'll help you out. Generally competitively priced
I like the ASA AR1 but I'd do 18s if you're gonna go with black centers as they'll look smaller than normal. A buddy of mine has the black 17s and they look kinda small...
EDIT: Numbers are 1.800.680.6685 or 305.403.5063
