Optical illusion? or would these wheels look good?

[Former Member]

I found these on tire rack, they just poped up. MSW type 14. I like them 1 because they are 16", im not trying to lug around 20's or pay for tires to go on anything bigger then an 18" rims. Also 16's wiegh less then bigger wheels, also a good thing to me. I already have 16" wheels and good tires on them.

The only thing that im worried about is if this is just an optical illusion or what. wheels look bigger then a 16" but it could be how they are designed. im diggin the look tho!

Honestly... look into 17's... they look so much better; 16's really do look like early 90's

BUT, those don't look bad for 16's

Send Me your car...and the rims....and I will Ps Them. Pho Sho! oh....and about them being lighter....eh......If u spen the money on some GOOD rims....Like a light weight 3 piece alloy.....compared to a "watevers" Rim.....Then the Bigger ones will be lighter! On my oold Car....2000 Zx2.....the stocks I think were 14" or 15"....about 17lbs, and Then I went to Cheap 17"z about 20 lbs.....watevas 18"z after that, about 23lbs....then I got hooked up with some racing alloy rims, 17"z and they only weigh 16-1/2 lbs. So its like watevas.....My 20"z now are HEAVY....But If I could afford my hommies 19"z Maya's I would so rock those, probably only like 20lbs! If that. Could be wrong....But eh...Juss depends on the $$$$$$$$!!!!! LoL Comparing apples and oranges...wait like apples and Mangos! lol. But yea, send me those pix, and I will see wat I can do! Juss PM me Or better yet....post them in my Photoshop thread!

Huh?

Could someone who speaks English and 'hood, please translate that?

"If you send me a picture of your LS, and another picture of the wheels, I will photoshop the wheels onto the car for you.

A bigger wheel does not necessarily mean a heavier wheel. In fact, some of the racing 3 piece alloys can be as light - or lighter - than your stock wheels.

Anyways, just PM me with the pictures. Or better yet, put them in my thread dedicated to photoshopping!"

paraphrased, of course

Get those if you like them!

I like just the right looking small wheels sometimes:shifty: .

I usually prefer them to be wider but when you slam the car they can still look good, sometimes they do have more of that little wheel big tire tuner look but ehh who cares?!

They look nice for 16 inchers. I would definitely go to either a 17 or 18 incher. They look sooooooo much nicer.

 

[SPSully]

my 20's weigh less than my stock 17's.... the lip around the bottom 16" is what is throwing you off. They make the 16 look like a 15. They do that on most any wheel. big lips mak the wheel look an inch or so smaller
