*I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant GTZ - Black*

I want rims that look similar to the BMW M5 rims or the Konig Imagines. Except that the Konig Imagines are not a flashy type of chrome. Check out my webpage to see what I have in my mind, If anyone at all knows of some good rims that are along the lines of the Konig Imagines, let me know. I also want to lower it and I want the wheel to fill in nicely. I think I want 18" chrome with a 45 offset. Does 45 sound right??? Also I want to get Tein lowering springs, if I get the springs do I need to get shocks and struts too??? I have the GTZ model so it already has modified shocks and struts. I really need some advice here. I really want to get some feedback on the rims issue. Here is a picture of the BMW rims I am talking about, I want some that look a lot like these!

-Please help me out!

As for the wheels I say go with these

That is the type wheel I like. As far as the springs and shocks I think everyone on the board would recommend you upgrade your shocks.

those wheels u recommended look nothin like what he wants....

i think the 45 offset will fit just fine w.out rubbing issues, anyone can feel free to chime in and correct me. And good choice with the Tein springs.

This rim was one of the wheels he was considering...

if u want bmw style wheels. go with

<span style='font-size:25pt;line-height:100%'>BBS</span>

these looks pretty nice

comes with a pretty price tag too though. Good quality wheel. Not like those knock offs from like konig, hp racing, excel, racing hart and all those other fake me out companies. (for the record, i do have BBS wheels so i can talk smack like that)

as for your suspension. shocks and struts are a must when lowering with your car. that gtz supsension is a big joke. all it is, is the eclipse's supension.

my advice. lower the car first. then find wheels that will fit under the ocnditions you have. what i hate to see most is people hacking up their cars or buying new wheels because they can't fit their current wheels with the mods they want to put on their cars..

How about these BSA 315 wheels? They only come in 16" or 17" though.

or these R1 GTR-4 wheels? No chrome.
