    Opinion on these rims

    I saw these at pep boys and took a quick pic of them. I was thinking of the 16x7s on the left which are $20 more. Anyone know about pep boys rims?

    sig too big

    if you are gonna really do 16's, i wouldn't do anything with a lip. they would just make the wheel look smaller than they really are.

    Yeah, I would consider going bigger, but already had to buy 16" tires due to a minor emergency. I might go lip-less and go all chrome.

    i think alot of us are too use to 17-19" wheels. i would go with what Ray (raz_76) said and get some GTZ wheels. or just save up a bit to get a good set of 16s

    Your factory wheels carry a lot more class.

    embrace them.

    and lower your car.

    i like your stock wheels better than any wheel at pepboys. getting those would be a HUGE downgrade... seriously. if you want the '99-'01 stock GTZ wheels i will trade you since they are sitting on my balcony... you pay shipping for your set to me and i will pay shipping for my set to you.

    They're 16 x 6.5. They come stock on the 9G. Here's a thread that has real Mitsu wheels for sale at very reasonable prices. And I'll vouch for 9G as a seller. It's thanks to him that I'm sporting my Evo wheels and tires.

    And like everyone said, please don't buy those Pep Boys wheels. Other than a vast supply of fluids and cleaning products at average prices, Pep Boys only has two things going for it; cheap replacement stock light bulbs and enough plastic stick on paraphernalia to rice out any vehicle in America.

    I figured that the pep boys deal was too good to be true. I like the style of those 9g Enkeis tho.

    Since you want to stay with a 16 inch wheel, I would go with those 9G wheels for sure. I don't see the reason to spend that much money for an aftermarket wheel that's under 17 inch.
