Default Help me choose some new INTRO wheels...

I like the 4 wheels below in 18x9 and 18x11, what do you think for my car from INTRO Wheels??? Any other wheels you think may look better that I am overlooking? Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Oh, and pretty soon the car will have a front air dam, that will change the look a little also.

I think the bottom one will look better for your car. I got the Ids 307 with custom center from Jon Driverzinc, great guy to deal with.

I like the top one personally, are you going with all shiny or are you thinking about some of the wheel brushed?

It is funny seeing your present wheels, I am basically going to do a wheel swap on my Nova and my present wheels are Centerline Scorpions which are close to your style, are yours 17's or 16's?

How do you do that??? What program?


I guess that is pretty much how they would look, except for I would have a much larger offset of the web.

Here is a car with the same wheels.

Some foose wheels like the nitrous look cool, but they look slow.

All of those wheel choices are beautiful. It might help to define your car before you choose:

Your car has a very classic look with a vinyl top and lots of chrome. So I would choose a classic, but shiny wheel. Second from the top seems to fit that profile best. It is essentially a classic five spoke look even though it technically has ten spokes (which makes it more modern looking than typical five spokes). I like the polished look as well since you have a lot of factory chrome. Talk to Frank at Prodigy about Forgelines as well.

Nice choices.

Used photoshop cs2.

Now that you added the other two choices, I kind of like the third one best..

Most likely I am going to ditch the vinyl top this winter.
