They resemble the wheels on one of the prototype cars that was on here some time back.
They will look very good on the car too.

I thought you said you weren't going to install new wheels and tires until it's been painted. I don't know why - How bad could the paint be. Having those wheels and just getting some tires is the only thing between you and actually putting them on the car.? Go for it.!!!!!!!

Ya might be right Rick.im not sure i can resist putting them on. I just dont want to look the fool.some of the body is in primer ,and other parts have the side molding removed while it waits to be filled in.
Anybody have any input on the Hankook ventus v12s? the customer reviews on tire rack were somewhat divided,but on performance forums and a Car & Driver report, they came out second in the test.. does anybody here run Hankooks and what do ya think of them?

Those are gonna look sick dude

you know it my man!

Those do look good. Is this the car you guys were referring to?

These do look better, but still remind me of some late 80's or early 90's Ford truck rims. It will be interesting to see how they look on the car though.

Sorry it seemed the pic didn't go through the first time. This is this the prototype Riv with the similar rims I think you guys were referring to.

they are definitely similar. the holes in my rim extend closer to the lip. and the rounded center of the speedy rim is more pronounced. does anybody know who made the prototype rim in the above pic?

That I don't know. I got a bunch of pics of this car when it was on ebay earlier in the year.

they remind me the rim's what some lamborghini diablo's used to have.

my thoughts exactly Snowdog

Here's a pic of the rims I'm seriously thinking about getting.

@ flyineagle96 lol! yeah..ive held them close on many occasion im not ashamed to say. they are powder coated clear. but i am going to paint the inner wheel flat black ,leaving the inner and outer lip silver. its gonna look tits. and im saving up to buy the paint ,its going to be either house of color brandywine kandy 3 stage,or Custom shop, black cherry.and im going to steal bigdave's idea and paint the roof gloss black.

I like em

Also fond of the cat picture and you have the same "dome" litter box my car uses. lol

thank ya buddy! they fit perfectly on the car with no issues,but they are 5mm off. they threw in a 5mm spacer no charge. after looking at them on the car i don't think ill need them. the price was incredible and i couldn't pass em up for 5mm. $80 each with free chrome lug nuts and free locks and free 5 mm spacers. i call that a deal.

That's a great deal

Not sure I understand where the 5mm off comes from? Are you referring to the bolt pattern?

no the offset.

Sounds like, you have a good plan for her,looking forward to the pictures!!!
