Which Rims?

[whitedragon551 5,000+ posts]

I just bought my first new car. I choose to skimp on options like power windows and no rims because it dropped the price 3 grand for things I dont need. I have a lifetime warranty on my AC and heating systems so virtually the windows never need to go down and the steelies can be winter rims which I intended to do with any car.

The car is a silver 08 Dodge Caliber SE. In these pics it wont have all the mods, but it will have limo on the back, 25% tint on the driver and passenger side, and 35% on the entire windshield. Also in these pictures that 4.5' antenna is no longer there. Its been replaced with a 3.5" billet shorty antenna in silver to match the car.

I can comfortably fit up to a 22" without rolling fenders and without rubbing on the tire wheel and without lifting the car. In Michigan though probably a bad idea. Im think 19's or 20's tops.

I dont want something huge and chrome. Im a big fan of a colored lip or doing something crazy like a solid blue rim or something like that. Just something that sets me apart from the standard massive ugly chrome or the black with a chrome lip shit that gets way overplayed.

Yup. Its the only place I know of where you can actually view a rim on your style car. Id rather see it before buying you know?

I hear ya...I use them all the time.

I like the KV5's as they have some curvature to them...the JH9's look too straight and boxy. IMO.

The JH9's are straight on the sides, but they have some depth to them. The top bends in a little and has the black that sort of acts like a shadowing effect. I really like the Motegi's because Ive never seen someone with a black rim and red lip here. Its always massive ugly *** chrome or black with a chrome lip.

They dont offer the offset that I need. Id rather shell out the cash for BBS rather than some BBS look alikes.

 

[dumple 5,000+ posts]

what offset are you looking for?

 

[whitedragon551 5,000+ posts]

Its got to be 18x8, 35mm offset, 19x8.5 or 19x8 with a 38mm and 40mm offset respectively.

 

[dumple 5,000+ posts]

and Size: 19x8

Offset: 40mm

Backspacing: 6.06"

Bolt Pattern: 5-114

Rec. Tire Size: 225/45-19

that does not fit your requirements?

The bolt pattern is right, but Im not sure on backspacing.
