P5 rims on my MSP...Black or Bronze

[Boosted Orange]

Easy enough, wacha think?

[sickspeed94]

black 16's are the way to go... if they're bronze they look smaller.. i have a theory that with black wheels, since the tire is black your subconscious confuses where the wheel ends and tire begins, allowing you to get away with a smaller lighter wheel but it still loks hott...

pm YellowspeedinNY (sp?) he's got black P5's on his yellow MSP, that's wher ei got the idea.

also search ebay for motegi RT5's, they're light and they're wider than P5 stockies to fit more tire, see my sig for pic. (PM me for tire sizing details and what not to do)

EDIT* i personally think your wheels are deh sex. (lick)

[vxfilmer1000]

i knida think the bronze would look good. Like dark dark bronze.

[eljefe305]

...why would you do that though?

i vote black

[sickspeed94]

bronze on orange is kind of a thumbs down, except the one on the wedsports that is on this forum, that's nice, but i mean hey, they're wedsports, i'd put my car on some pink le37t's

[MSP #167]

black wheels suck they just look like steelies.

ding ding.

well, depending on the wheel, and if it has a polished lip or whatnot...but for the most part, looks like steelies.

when i say bronze i mean DARK bronze like they look black till in sunlight. If that makes any sense.

i resent that! it's ok i love my wheels and they definately don't look like steelies

I've always thought that... You can't see the detail of the wheel. They make a car look cheap IMO.


Easy answer.... Bronze.

yeah make sure you specify that you want the 5 lug wheels, and remember you will NOT be running a 215 tire unless you plan on rolling fenders, i'm on 16's in the same wheel with 205's (slammed though) and i could definATELY see rubbing on 215's

[Brian MP5T]

Black with the orange IMO.

[speedhawaii]

black for me

I have 215/40s on my 17x7 5zigens. No rubbing unless I have 2 people in the back under hard cornering.

Ah, yes. Well none the less, good choice I say. Looks very nice, esp w/out the 03.5 lip.
