What does everyone think of this rim

Post by Dragoneyed »

What does everyone think of this rim on the Abyss? I hope this pic isn't too big. Is it too chromey for a two tone abyss, It might not be the same effect as a monotone? Anyone care to photoshop it.

Dragoneyed, do you by chance know the brand and model number of that rim? I am looking for a nice crome wheel for my Montone Abyss Vibe, and that one looks pretty good. Also, do by chance know the price? Thanks

I found these on Exotic Wood Dash's webpage link: http://www.exoticwooddash.com/wheels.asp?pn=V311 They are made by a company called Vault, model Vortex, The prices for the 16X7 are for chrome finish 229.90 each or you can get them in silver finish for 119.90. They also have a very nice looking wood dash finish for the Vibe, another thing you might want to check out.

Thanks. I am going to check those wheels out. also, thanks for the info on the wood dash, but i have already found some carbon fiber dash work that I think I am going to get. Thankshere is the carbon fiber dash link:http://www.wooddash.com/category/PONTIA ... s_VIBEThey look pretty nice. Does anyone know how long they would take to install, or how you get the other pieces off????

Nice wheels, you can check some others on TIRERACK.COM and match with your VIBE (even with your color) and it gives the result instantly. Just great to see $$$ many models for our VIBE... but your choice above is great looking

How's it goin,The way I see it, chromes chrome. Besides I think they just sell covers at walmart. But thanks for the input, it helps. Although I think the rims on the GTR would be pretty cool.
