help!!! which rims to get!!!

pretty much got my mind set on these:

Drag DR17's in black. 18x7.5

Anella AN 540's in black. 18x7.5

what you guys think? are the Anella's good quality?




tires? 215/35/18, or 40 series? im at stock height as of now. (04 jcw)

On a MINI you put wheels, on an Escalade you put rims.

i'd do 205/40/18 or 215/40/18's. 215/35/18's are too thin for street imho.

I prefer the look of the anellas over the drags. Something going on in the center of the drags seems too big. It's hard to explain

Have you gone to wheelsnext.com to look around? They have a ton of wheels & you can filter by car, size, & color

p.s... here is a thread I started when I was getting new wheels. There are quite a few pics of black ones.

I still like the anellas. They would look really good with the centercap decals from Aesthetic Creations.

I still dunno about the drags. I might like them on but I really can't see them well enough in the photochop to decide

The 3rd one, meh, not for me but it could be the big drilled rotors throwing me off in that pic

i took those 3rd set off of "Mini Poopers" MINI, he has aftermarket brakes.

the Drags, i like them, but at an angle, i dont like the lip. i dont know why, but on MINIs, i like rims with no lip better. thats why i love the anella's.

i think im going to do the anella's, and a 215/35/18 tire. are these good tires?

http://superbuytires.com/tires/model/Toyo/ProxesFZ4

also, im going to order them this week, theyre 18x7.5. should i get a +40 offset or what? one day i will lower it, so i want to get something that wont rub when i lower it, yet wont look dumb until i do lower it.


oh, and those center caps are a must! i would deffinently order them, or ive seen some on ebay that have the "S" on them. i kinda like the MINI ones better though. get rid of the white anella center cap.

but ya, offset is whats keeping me from ordering, i just want to make sure i get the right ones. and, 4x100 right?

Whoa Nellie, all I am good for is looking & saying that's pretty for the technical stuff you gotta get some advice from the people who actually know bout that stuff

p.s... I think A/C has some decals with the S on them. I dunno about the EBay ones but the A/C ones are good quality.
