17's that I picked up for $400 Brand New off a guy who bought them for his Dodge Magnum and wouldn't fit over the caliper! Fit on mine!

They fit good to.

Your rims look great, Samuel.

Chris: Those rims you are looking at will look fantastic on your Riv.

Be sure and check Craigslist before you buy. You might be able to save a considerable amount of $$$ if that is an issue. I bought the 18" rims and tires with 90% tread for my Reatta on Craig's for $250. That's quite a deal I think.

I've been looking on craigslist and ebay, but can't find these used. Found them for about $130 each. Which is the cheapest I've found so far.

Dave,
A quicky visual as per your idea.

Red line Tires... Sweet look on the Reatta!

Thanks for the chop, Sean. I think they look good. What do you think?

Well, I like the look with the new wheels, but when I flip between the real thing and the sketch, I stay on the sketch joker

I'm about to buy wheels. I was set on one set and came accross another. I'd like some opinions as to which you guys think look better. I'm not great at photoshop so I haven't been able to see what they may look like on the car. Here are the two different rims I'm looking at.

Are you going for a sport look or more of a luxury look?

I would have to say a sport look. Mainly just wanting to find a set of rims that look good and not funny on the car.

I really like that rim in the bottom pic. Of course, it's more of a luxury look IMO thumbsup

I was thinking the top rim looked more like a luxury style imo. smile

They both look good. The top one is slightly sportier, imo.

One style: a quick and obviously fake sketch. No calipers or other gear visible. My Riv.

Those do look good on there.

I prefer option 1. I don't like the fake bolts on 2. I think #1 looks clean and classy, as well as sporty.

Top one, all day.

Defiantly Opt.1 #2 Looks RICER IMO.

I dont know..Rims that have softer lines imo look better on the Riv.The Riv has such round oval lines that sharp and angular rim looks kinda out of place..jus me..

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'm going to stick with the ones I was going to get before. Which are the ones in the top picture. Probably get them ordered today.

Subject: would these rims look good on the riv ? Tue Feb 14, 2012 3:51 am

There's a set of 16" OZ racing F1 available locally for $200.

Would they look good on a riv or would they look out of place ? They're a bit similar to the GSX wheels.
