Well Arc (Sam) you wanted someone to Photo shop this for ya and though my PS skills are not what they used to be, I did manage to do up a quick sample using your number 3 choice in the other thread. Looks like crap lol but I am my toughest critic.

Yeah that's real scientific LOL I will ask my consultant ( Tammy my wife ) to help me out of course and see. The only problem is she has good (i.e expensive) taste

I have NOO use for a truck... She did not like the Vibe and probably would not like what I am doing to it now. But then again if I was still dating her, I would not have the money to spend on the Vibe... Go with number 3, I was interested in those rims myself before I bought my Ikons.

Ugh...I know you like those TRD rims, Hope, but I would suggest looking elsewhere. Try http://www.miamitireoutlet.com. Ask for either Erin or Julie and tell them Christian sent you. They don't carry very many brands, but they do have awesome deals. I got my 18' rim/tire package mounted, balanced, and shipped to my door w/ tuner lug nuts for $1,050.EDIT: Hmm, after quickly browsing their site, it seems as though their variety is narrowing down. The only non-falken wheels I was able to find (18"x7) were by NS Racing:My recollection of TRD's wheels is foggy, but I seem to remember similar styling to these...and $151.50 each is CHEAP.Add some 225/40-18 Nankang NS2's (which handle and ride wonderfully, so far!) for only $89.90 each and you have a total of $965.60 + ~$160 for shipping, handling, mounting, balancing, and lugs. Not bad at all.

Well you can always get the house right? and park the Vibe inside... profit all the way around.

If you haven't already decided on some rims, www.TireRack.com has a nice site for seeing what the rims look like on your car. You select the make, model, and year of your car and then select different rims for it. Pretty nice. Give it a shot if you have not already decided.

Actually, you might search around for Team Dynamics wheels named mirage. These are the exact same wheel as the TRD. They actually make them for TRD. And you can get them in gunmetal...probably cheaper as well. definitely worth checking out.
