Opinion-Rims/Tires

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a set of staggered Viper replica 22's with Dunlop tires.
1. Any thoughts on the rims- brushed with black windows?
2. Any thoughts on the tires- Dunlop
Thank you in advance.

I like brushed finishes..... but also love the contrast between polished or chrome and darker cars like yours. Not a fan of the all black cars.

I've read just as many bad reviews as good on the Dunlops around the net, what type and size you want to go with? I personally don't think you will have a problem with them though...

I have seen many running the dunlops and they are very, very happy with them. I say go for it...they will look very good, but you have to post pics. Don't go chrome for the love of god. Brushed w/ black windows are ok, but I would rather go with either black or gunmetal. I assume you will be staggering them with a 265/35 and 305/30. Check out these links....best prices period.

My honest opinion is if your gonna pay for an aftermarket set of 22's get something with a nice lip and something more unique than whats on a a factory car. But if your set on these rims something looks very odd about the finish on the black ones.. It almost looks spray painted i am sure it isnt but it doesnt look smooth enough like a nice powder coat or a black chrome maybe they are painted wheels i dont know. But if i were to get them i would probably send them to one of the chromers @ $150 a wheel and have them chromed IMO that is the only way they will look truley unique..

FYI, the silver mag in that post is sporting those rims. The pics on ebay don't do them justice, and I agree, look odd. They also come in chrome, but to me, chrome is eh. The ones free posted are nice rims, but a lot more coin as they are 2 peice. These rims look more unique to me than the majority of aftermarket rims with a lip.
