Input on wheels please!

[Sol_MTL]

I have a '99 I4 and am lookin at getting some rims, either 17 or 18's.
Anyways i'm lookin for some suggestions of what would look nice on my car (Sandrift Metallic).

I am looking for something in the 5-~9 spoke range, no BBS style wheels as I dont think they fit well with the solara. Also no chrome

Something like this, but I just want some more ideas.


Thanks for any input!

iono. u should post some pics of your ride so we can get a better idea.

i got my wheels from TireRack. they have a nifty feature that lets you see the wheel on your car. gives you a pretty good idea. just view pics of wheels you're considering with pics of your car side by side and visualize man.

You don't like multispoke rims? I don't think they're THAT bad....

Enkei EKM3?


Advan RS?

[DSM_Lara]

^^^ Those Advans looks nice.

I do like multispoke rims but I just find they dont go with the Solara that well. Those Advans though are pretty nice, they look kinda like these that im considering too... (Enkei Performance Imola)


It's really the color I need help with cause I cant find pics of anyone with black rims on this color lara: And yes i have checked the pic threads and have used tirerack but it doesnt even have my color lol

19's are not an option where I live unfortunately...You would understand if you could see the roads i have to drive daily lol!

17's look the best, performance wise are the best, remeber the bigger u go the slower u go, u lose off the line & passing performance, i think 17's look the best, also perform the best............

^^ this guy could have 24"s and his car would still perform with 300whp. holy crap. lol i have 18's and think they look great. would not go bigger tho.

Tsw vortex clean wheels

I would stay away from a gold/bronze wheel for your car.
If the color is close, but not matching body color they're gonna stick out like a sore thumb.
Silver is pretty much the only option you've got with a gold car.

Yeah im thinking either black or silver...I realize now why its so hard to find pics of solaras with my color: it was only made during '99 lol.

BBS RKs look fine on a Solara. I'm not biased at all either.
