the guy is gonna be getting my stock rims soon, and i dont have anywhere to put them without them getting messed up (my 18s are in my house, only becuase they're clean) so i cant bring the 17s inside.

but i just was itching to see what it looked like, so i put one on, lol (just for pics, dont think im rolling around with 1 18 !!)

hot!!

I've been thinking about hotswaps, but since I'm getting a chili red clubman, I'd want the red inserts - any idea how much the inserts go for? And what size tires are you using? Where did you get the wheels? I'm leaning towards going for the 17"s...
Thanks

Those are glossy black! In fact, they almost make the tires look grey

im running 215/35/18, no rubbing on the front with it turned completely, i tested that today, but im not lowered either.

these would look hott on your car, i love chili red mini's with gloss black rims!

as far as the inserts go, they come only with chrome, which look great, but i dont want chrome on my car :( to get black ones, they were 30 bux a wheel (for all 5 inserts) 120$ for all 4 rims. i wasent going to pay that, so i said ill just paint the chrome ones.

well, notice in my pics, i dont even have the inserts in, and IMHO, i dont think they look half bad with no inserts! i might leave them out for now, rather then paying for black ones, or getting my chrome ones painted (which might chip anyways, they're plastic)

i know, the new ones make the old tires look brown, the stock ones just need a good cleaning though

and ya, i prefer gloss black rims over flat
