Hey everyone!! Need help finding Rimss

Heyy,

I'm in desperate need to find some nice (but affordable) rims, that are 16-17'' with a purple lip, or purple ANYTHING.. I'm having problems finding much.. any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone get eyelids yet? I've been thinking about it for awhile, but i wonder how much it effects your brights, if any?

thanks. xoxox

Ummm, I've looked at a ton of wheels, purple right off the shelf is gonna be very difficult I am afraid.
Go to an auto body shop to get the lip painted (or do it yourself)
or
go to a sign shop, they can plug in the lip circle dimensions into their computer, and cut a nice vinyl probably in a metallic purple. And it may not cost all that much.
Besides the purple, what else are you looking for in a wheel?

nice touch BTW with the xoxo, I have not seen that in a sig before

There is a new style coming out with this anodized metalic that might work

This is the Konig Swurve, only in 18's at the moment though

Thanks everyone,

Tork- Yeah, my friend sanded down all of his and all that, and did his in black- its just time consuming and i am a busy girl, and don't really have time to leave my car on jacks for a while. And yeah, xoxo is pretty cute huh?

Jagass- i have no idea what you just said.

Sugarphreak- Yeah, those are really sweet, I like the multi color ones too, but purple would be ideal.

HONDA NEEDS TO MAKE MORE FIT STUFF! haha. screw the civic for a mod car- lets make it the Fit! =D

And besides purple- I am just basically looking for something pretty simple, not too flashy... but nicer then what i have now. And alloys. I hate the stupid plastic-y look on other crappy rims.

I just got my calipers/drums custom painted to match the purple- and the paint i have left might go to eyelids... but i don't have alot of money to throw around.

But i think the next bulk of money will go to a intake or exhaust.

humm... if you had your drums and calipers painted why not
just get a standard color wheel (like silver/gunmetal/bronze)
to make those paint jobs stand out?

if you make everything purple people's eyes wont notice that
you put in effort on the drums and calipers. perhaps white
wheels might be good? confused: just a thought.
