The Rims

Post by walkerlyle2003 »

I have seen a few nice sets of rims for the vibe. I want to get people's opinion on what the nicest looking rims are for the vibe.

One wheel that looks good on our cars regardless of color are the Millie Miglia Evo5's. Inder

Wheels are personal opinon.Just because WE like something doesn't mean you will, and vice versa.Try going to http://www.discounttiredirect.com/.Click on the interactive wheel viewer. It will show you different wheels on the Vibe.

Hi walkerlyle,I think something relatively simple looks best. The Mille Miglia's shown in a previous post is really quite nice. I have a TSW Sting, which also has 5 spokes but it's spokes are a bit thinner than those. Here is a picture, though the quality of the pic kinda sucks (Video capture) I think a think the TSW and Mille Miglia's are both very nice on this car.Dave

The Evo and the Holes are two really nice rims, but if I was going to get some for my car it would be the Enkei CDR9. I think somebody has them on this board, but I haven't seen a good picture of them on the car yet. So if you are out there...post a good pic of them.

the colour of your Vibe is also important when picking out rims, some styles just don't match with some colours. Myself I'm partial to gunmetal... just see the pics in my sig for mine. But if my car was a different colour, I'd probably have to go with something else. Here is one pic anyway.

Agree. Look at Ballrub's Vibe. His wheels match his paint almost perfectly. Looks awesome.

Yea. Not my first pick. I bought it used and they were there when I got the car. They are better than stock so I'm not complaining too much. Just a bit too bling for me. 17" foose Type-S. You can't get much higher up than Foose so I won't ***** too much. They were like $2500 when they were put on.
