Which rims? My car is below in my sig

The Opal Rims

or The Silver Rims

By the way Im getting 18" x 8.5" Rims and tires with an offset around 35mm. Lugs at 5 x 100. Will these fit fine. Also what kind of drop should I get? Any suggestions on any other kinds of rims as well would be great. Thanks

i think the opal might look a little better. as far as the drop goes, it really depends on how low you wanna go. i have TRD's which don't drop you too much (about 1.3 inches) but with a kit and driving on bad roads a lot, thats about the most i wanted to go. it still makes the car look and handle much better, and you dont have to go around scraping on everything either. but if you want more, i've heard good stuff about hotchkis and H&R, or if you want total control of the height (and have lots of money) get some tein coilovers.

Hey i was looking at your pics of your gauges and I was wondering if you can adjust the brightness of that center ring glo to make it look like the picture below?

Mmm...I'm not feeling those rims but if I would have to choose, it would be the opal.

Between those two rims, go with opal. The darker shade goes with your Carbon Blue Celi. :)
