How will these rims look?

How will these rims look?

Postby SolaraDK » Sat Jan 30, 2010 9:27 am

I have been doing some surfing on the net to find a page where i can see how a rim would look on my car, but i have a problem..

Either the page dont have the car or the rim :/

My car is a Solara Gen1, and its color is silverstream opal

And the rim i wanna see on it is a 5zigen Gravis1 18"

Image

Is there anyone in here that have a picture of a Solara with those rims ? Or know a page where i can visualise the rims on the car ?

I've been looking at rims and I've noticed that a lot of rims with hard lines, i.e the one above, tend not to go well with the softer curves of the gen1/1.5. Something like the gen 2 17" rims are the way to go imo.

I don't see the 18" BBS wheel package on the Gen 1 Solara much, I know it is a dealer option for the Gen II Solara and the previous generation Camry.

Have you looked at those?
