Hey guys,

Was just trying to get some ideas for rims, so if you could post pics of what you're currently sporting, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks :cool:

Makes me wish I bought a black car, but up here in the NE I'd kill myself keeping it clean...

THANKS!

What rims are on that blue wagon? They're sick!!!!
Those are the black Karthoums. I think the black ones only come in 18 inches.

Give Bud a jingle and see what he will sell you the black ones for. I know he has carried them in the past and usually has the best prices going for new oem.

These are the smoked ones he sells for comparison.

Do the 17's make a huge difference over the 16's? I'm considering getting a 2010 with all the options I want, but it has 17" rims which I'm not sure it worth the $1300 or whatever they want. If they make a huge difference I'm okay with it.

If you care about the look then yes, they make a difference. But dont chose them as an option from the dealer. Buy them from elsewhere, in that way you would pay a half of what the dealer charges and you keep the old 16" wheels that came with the car, otherwise dealer keeps them. Some people dont realize that. They pay for the wheels twice, or three times to be exact

That's what I'm thinking. I'll check the other ones they're getting in and see if they have the options I'm looking for. No sense in buying rims from them. I'm currently driving a Pacifica so ANYTHING will feel sportier.

Nobody else has Huffs?

I'm a fan of the 18" Huffs :D I got them almost new for $800 from a local guy on the vortex (no tires included)
