Need your help fellas, wheels...

the cf guy hasnt gotten back to me and seems a little shady so back to the drawing board. im getting one of these 3. the 20 looks a little meshy a la bbs. 21's someone here just got from evo sport. so im kinda lenaing toward the 22's, the 6 spoke. size is 18x10.5r @ 19.6lbs and front is 18x9.5 for 18.2. comes with bfg dr's rear and a full set of bfg krd's i think. i know not better stock tire wise than the mich but they dont make dr's. my 19's are nice but going back to the 18s. what do you all think?

Mexican rims? WTF?

Back on topic: I like one on the right on the top. But you really can't go wrong with any of them.

Those aren't really what I mean, but I'm trying to get the point across. Image something much curvier, and in chrome. And 17" is too big, try 15 or so. If I go downtown or something today, I'll take a picture if I see someone with the rims.

I think I know which ones you're talking about. However, associating rims with a specific ethnic group is rather ignorant and inflammatory. I live on the border and I work on both sides. I don't really see too many of the chrome 3-spoke rims around anymore, at least not since the mid-90s. But even then, I would see them everywhere I travelled all over the US and not just on "Mexican" cars. I know I never had any of those and I have Mexican (and some Chinese) ancestry.

Oh no, I didn't mean it in in inflammatory way! I'm in Texas, and most of my friends have those rims, I crack on them all the time because they are Mexican as well. I think I just took an inside joke, outside I'm really sorry if I offended anyone, I really didn't mean to.

What are you gonna do with your current HRE's? Personally, I would do 19s, but there is the dilemma we face regarding DR's. I am gonna get some 19s for daily cruisinng and use DRs with the stock wheels when I hit the track.
