Bored with my Rims

oakleyTRD · 11-02-2009, 05:34 PM

I love the all black look but its starting to get a little played out for me. it used to be semi-unique but now it seems like everyone and their mother has black rims.

Currently riding on 17" Pro Comp 7089s matte black and before i completely trash them im throwing out some ideas to do a swap.
(heres a picture from this weekend)

I like simple rims, not a lot of small frills, and I love the new design of the Konig Countersteers (not the offroads) but i would switch to to a bronze rim this time, i love the look

so what do you guys think? Keep it as is or man up and make the swap?

Save your money and get that rear sag fixed.

Have you checked out the new 17" Konig Countersteer Offroads? They look identical to the Volk TE37X:

TBAGRR · 11-02-2009, 05:39 PM

ouch

RelentlessTaco · 11-02-2009, 05:45 PM

hmm. maybe get the new ones and then sell me your old tires and wheels for like $500?

I say it looks good as is, but the all black isnt really my thing. I like a little bit of contrast here and there. Maybe if those were the gloss/machined version of those procomps.

ClemsonTacoma · 11-02-2009, 05:45 PM

Keep em' everyone is going to get bronze rims soon, or powdercoat em

They never made new Countersteers (correcting Cliff's statement) and was showing him the new Countersteer Offroads. They don't look anything like the old Countersteer Offroads.
