I bought my MCS used a few months ago and love it. I'm thinking of getting new rims and tires, right now it's got the 17" R85 S-spokes and the OEM run flats.

I saw these on TireRack.com:


They're a really great price for black rims with a white face. I was hoping to get opinions on if this looks good. Tirerack's vehicle image doesn't have the white accents like mine but gives me the general idea:

These are only 17's though and I was thinking of getting 18's for the look. As long as the rims are less than 25lbs I can't imagine a negative impact in handling especially because I'll be getting non-run-flats. Anyone have recommendations for other black & white rims?

 

Just found these. Come in 17x7.5 and 18x8:

 

This is what I got on my LBM:

 

LBM? Have you also changed your scoop, side markers and grill trim? Is it tough keeping white rims clean from brake dust and stuff?

 

Here are my winter wheels which should be a similar style to your wheel choice. I like the look.

 

25 pounds are you kidding, that's heavy for an 18" inch wheel. Stock wheels average 22 pounds, go lighter and you shall be rewarded! Don't go higher than 18 pounds or you'll be sorry!

 

Yep I changed out all three of those. You have to spend a little more time on them but, it is not hard to clean them. They get dirty in about a week between brake dust and road grime but, I wash my car once a week so it is whatever to me.

 

I'm going with a similar wheel. Drag DR-9 17X7 at 18 pounds. But, I'm going with gloss black with a polished rim.
