GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Found a really cool online interactive tool...Lets you see how different rims would look on the vibe!http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/ ... l&x=9&y=17

Now, that's something very useful. Being new to this whole "modding" thing, I would look at pics of wheels and have no idea what they would look like on my Vibe (like looking at a skirt on the clothing rack ). How convenient that the "model" is Abyss as well!

Nope. Found it back in may!

Funny thing is, I was just there checking out some rims! The color they have for Neptune is a little off, but it's still a great site!

Got mine at TIRETRENDS.COM in Vancouver BC (via UPS)great deal, how about the look?

They have one of these at the "accessory" dealer near my house! That's great its available on-line!

May be due to CDN vs US money!!!Mine were $264cdn in Quebec city and $180cdn with TIRETRENDS...I usually buy in local stores but for that first time I prefered on internet with that store far away from Quebec... but still on canadian money.

ok, I found a site that would convert cdn to dollar, 322cdn converts to $241, still too much for a rim I can get here for $186 at discount tires.

LOL!Those are the exact wheels I am looking at (the Evo5 and the EV-S) but I am going to test out my brother's 17" MM Action wheels on my car when he lowers his suspension this week.Here's what they look like: I think I like those agressive EV-S wheels the best though, we'll see

quote:EVS are the best way to go. I was also looking at the EVS before I bought the EVO series. Both are solid in looks.

I can't find Enkei RS6 on the website I am thinking of getting a set of 6 spoke wheels and RS6 seems like the one.Except I don't know how that will look on my Frosty Vibe.Anyone has a set a Enkei RS6?

Hey guys, those rims are nice. They would look nice on our Vibes. Check out these rims I found, I think they're pretty sweet also.The first few are Ronal rims and you can buy them already painted in any color or color combo you want.

Here's another cool rim but it's not from Ronal. It would look really cool to replace the black paint with Frosty or Neptune or whatever color to match your Vibe. If you happen to have an Abyss Vibe then you are all set right out of the box.This one is my favorite so far, it's from ADR, and I think I will be replacing my O.E.M. rims with these in the future. Let me know what ya think, or

No, I'm not ready to replace my rims just yet. Maybe next year, I'll have to wait and see if I can save enough money for them. I also have another little hobby that tends to eat up my savings pretty fast. It's tough to decide how much money to spend on customizing when you have two rides in your life.

quote: Not my style, I like a more smoother look though, I am not a narrow spoke fan. That's cool, everybody has different tastes as far as what they like or dislike. What do you think of some of the Ronal rims I posted instead. Some of them have pretty wide spokes, they're kind of twisted though so the edge of the spoke is facing straight out.

thanks, silverawd26 Looks great IMO, gotta save up for that...I agree that mesh style or curvy pattern don't fit Vibe too well. The same for thin-spoke wheels too.

hey does anyone notice that you're saying "rims" and not "wheels"
