hey, i've never owned a car where i've cared enough to spend any money on it, other than the occasional oil change and gas every other day lol. however, i bought some rims and wanted some peoples' input on my impulse buy.

i don't know much about them, so all i have are the specs that i've gotten from the outside of 'em. i got them used, too. i had them on Thumper for a while before the treads became dangerously low, and i had to take them off. they're 205/45R/17's.

i didn't think about this before i bought them, but turns out i lose some of my turning radius (biggest disappointment!), gas mileage, and speedometer accuracy. shame.

they're "volution" rims, i guess? i've never heard of that brand, but i foolishly bought them for aesthetics, not the name or the treads, obviously!

so all this being said, whatdya'll think? :tongue:

They look good. Any pics from further away?

They're going well with the white and black theme you have going.

i wish i had taken some better photos before taking them off... i was in NY for the summer and didn't think to bring most of my things up with me, such as my camera. had i brought that, i would have taken many MANY more photos...

i guess the feeling of passing another car on the highway, looking at my own reflection in their door panels, and thinking, "damn. that looks tyte," is worth it!
