Ok I am having a hard time deciting on what rims to get for my Silver SI. I want to go with a rim that is not to light or open because I do not know if I am going to increase the rotor and brakes latter so I do not want there to be this huge opne gap like I see on a thin 5 spoke rim. I have to say phatsi does have some nice rims at http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9975&perpage=15&pagenumber=6 but he has not pm me back with what kind of rims they are. I do have to say though the H in the middle I like though. I just want a rim that looks good but will not put me in the poor house. The OE rims right now are a little heavy in looks for me and when I look at sites it is hard to tell what they will look on the car from a side veiw were they are more 3d then 2d when just looking at a side of a car on a website like tirerack.com.

I was just wondering does anyone have some good shots of their silver SI?

Thanks for any help

those rims are either racing hart CP10's http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/racinghart.htm
or a cheaper version of them called RS limited http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/RSLimited/rslimited.htm

Sounds like you want something to keep the gap noticeable of the rotors from having 17's. Try something with about 7-8 spokes with 17's. Racing Hart CP8 look good also in 17"

Probably not the best picture, but here's my ride with 17" OZ Superleggera's.

Ok first were can I find the site for the OZ Superleggeras? I looked in the web and all I get are car adds but not a place to buy for the price.

With the konig rims are those crome? I have to say crome is nice but for some reason I like a silver rim with a silver car.

Most of all were is the best place to get prices and buy these rims?

Thanks again

The cheapest place I found for them was 1010 Tires (http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?wheelbrand=OZ&wheelmodel=Superleggera) . I got mine from a friend that was selling them, so I don't have any personal experience with that company. Tire Rack should have them, but the 17s aren't listed on their site, only the 15s. Go figure.
