Orange Rims

[Midlifetoy]

Ok Folks, I need some opinions! So, heres the story first... I was doing a Black Ops and it was dark... I was distracted for a few, driving quickly and ended up hitting a huge pot hole, hard on the driver side of my car, under further investigation I have found both front and rear rims bent on the inside of the rim about where the bead is at. SO, my issue... roll with two semi-jacked rims that I just don't trust to hold up in the long run... or get new rims.. I think I have a pretty good idea of what I am going to do, buy rims. I also don't like fitting in when it comes to life, so I don't want a set of Rota's. So question at hand: What is your opinion of a set of O.Z. Alleggerita HLT Painted Orange (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=W0182920271O&wheelMake=O.Z.&wheelModel=Alleggerita+HLT&wheelFinish=Orange+Painted&showRear=no&autoMake=Mitsubishi&autoModel=Lancer&autoYear=2011&autoModClar=Ralliart&filterFinish=All&filterSize=All&filterBrand=All&filterSpecial=false&filterNew=All&filterWeight=All&sort=Price)? :confused:

For 1500 dollars I would buy some Enkei or Wedsport.. PF01s are way cheaper than that and with the extra money you could learn to drive or be better at secret squirrel...

Orange? No thanks. But, it is your car dude, do as you please!

My personal opinion would be for someone to pull off such a bold wheel an aggressive setup would be required. Meaning wide wheel, lower offset, drop, and rolled fenders to achieve that nice tucked look. Upon doing some research it looks like the widest the wheel is available in is a 18x8. Not worth it IMO but to each his own. If you wanna give it a shot then more power to you. In the end it's your decision.

My friend has a black MazdaSpeed6 with orange wheels. Take a look:

IMO, the bright wheels thing is only cool if your stanced out like wwralliart77 said.

[vplukas101]

bin there done that dooo it!! looks good

[Ralliart23]

the color is dope, the rims are too, but i wouldnt buy them solely becuase they only come in 8's, been there done that, regretted every minute of of it. Go 9's at least, or possibly 9.5's like me, but a lot of work needs to be done to make em fit.

Yeah like most people have said I love the orange but I really dislike the size. 18X8 imo is way to small & it also depends on the offset. You can get Rotas that look like that way cheaper in a way better size & powdercoat them orange. Not worth it to me for that price.

Looks awesome for sure, but I would prefer Tenzos over those. The color is screaming " Come vandalize my car!"

I like all of your input, good thoughts and ideas. Minus the save your money for driving lessons.... If anyone had a clue to what was happening, you would have understood the distraction and not seeing the pothole. :cool: he-he
Heres the other thing, I'm shipping my car and family to Italy in 49 days, so I'm gonna stick out like crazy anyways with a blacked out non-european car.... why not throw some more swag on the car?? But I think I'm going to agree with the most of you about having the right stance and size of rim. What to do...

I like the idea of orange wheels, but choose a wheel thats gonna give better stance. Otherwise u will regret it.
