I want to get some new rims right now im running on stock ones in my hatchback.

And.. Do you guys think white wheels are worth buying? since my car is black i was going to just put white rims on but I've heard they would get really dirty and chip ;/

Thanks

of course they can get drity, not because they;re white, but because it right on the ground and next to the brakes.

Do you have a picture of your stock wheels? some oem wheels looks nice which if you like enough you'll never have to go aftermarket.

Worth buying? that's really all up to you, i would put white wheels on my car, i see why not.

any wheel can get chipped, that really all depends on what type of paint/clear coat is on them.

if your looking for just any wheels i would start off by doing google searches. If you know the make and model of a wheel that your interested in, look for resellers, or contact the manufacture directly.

not a complete bad idea, i mean, they're functional, they'll do the job. Wheels is a world of it's own. i personally would just drive around with what you got, i would do further research. think of it as the shoes you wear on your feet. your car looks nice btw.

tires.com best prices, free shipping and if you buy wheels and tires together, they mount and balance them for free.

just dont buy the free replacement, or the road force balancing and youll save 100 bucks.

Here is a nice set of wheels...

I say if your on a tight budget drop your car, ditch the hub caps, clean your steelies and rock with it...

Yea, wheels used to be the BIG THING! Now it is IMO a drop de-badge, de-rice, tint, lip kit, engine swap or upgrade THEN rims lol...

I rock steelies right now but have a set of 17s, rota c10s sitting in the garage right now. Cant ride on 17s when pot holes exist at every corner. I'm also looking for a good place to buy some new wheels. Been researching but havent really found anything i really like. Might just end up picking up some SI's or gsr blades. I'd recommend you do the same if youre on a budget too or check craigslist, sometimes you can find some good stuff there locally.
