Im looking to purchase some rims within the next month and have considered two rims the sport edition kv5 and the dale jr killers (black w/polished lip) and was wanting some pics so I could really see how these would look and if its what I really want. Pics dont matter 18's or 20's.

_________________

How about 17's?

I apologize in advance for the shitty pics, there old and were rushed.


Naked KV5's incase anyone is interested

_________________

Not sure what body style you have but here are some pics of the killers. Everyone does KV5's. I would look into the killers and be a little different.

The one's on the black one are 20's.




These are 18's.

I was really set on the KV5's but you guys are switching my mind around. Would 20" Dale Jr Killers look good or keep 18's? Since im thinking those wheels im thinking of going with an all around theme like that
1. Dale Jr Killers
2. Black housing headlights n corners
3. Tinted Tails
4. Black chrome street scene grills
5. Tinted windows all around with a windshield strip
6. Debadge it and a good ol detail
What do you guys think?

x565556 for the Dale jr. Go w/ 18's the price you'll be putting into tires and on the rims are gonna cost plus the fact that 20's will put on wear on your tranny more than 18's would and the fact that your gp has low miles for a 02 that's the last thing you want to do.
I say add to list
Dale jr. 18's + lowering springs = sex

I just called a local rim place near me and I can get 18's of the dale jr killers for 225 a pc. This is 10 cheaper then tirerack. Didnt price out tires though.

^ i agree, those 20's look damn good! it's a shame they put such a strain on the tranny though. and the wallet. X4 on getting the Dale Jr. Killers, maybe 18's?

Erics - I don't know what year car you have, but if you have 04+ I would look into the 20"s, and if you have 03 or later, I'd look into the 18's. Price out the two different sizes, and if they 20's are obnoxiously more, I would stray towards the 18's

_________________

That's a nice list. That will all look good. 20's would look good but you will need to lower it for sure with all of the wheel gap it will be noticeable. 18's are always a great choice.

Ok well ive been looking lately again between the 2 and have done research. The Sport Edition KV5 require Hub Centric Rings which im a little uneasy about and the Dale Jr Killer do not at least according to tirerack.

_________________

I have a set of Tsw Jarama 114.3x5 and supposedly needed centric rings which I do have but they weren't needed so don't let that sway your opinion and ask Andy he probably doesn't have any either.

Yeah, remember all the love Andy was feeling dealing with that guy last fall?

Oh geeze, I forgot all about that. That was hell, that whole issue still makes no sense. Glad that's all over.
