Help Choose Wheels......

My fiance wants some new wheels for her 2003 Laser Red Coupe. She can't afford much so she is looking for a 19" wheel & tire package for under $2000.00. She does not want stock ray's either. All she cares about is the look of the car.

Here are a few wheels we looked into. Do you guys think any of these would look good on her coupe?

Apollo Wheels

Tenzo Type M
-black w/ red stripe
-machined black

MMR GT1
-hyper silver
-black w/ polished lip

well, machined black, black w/red stripe and bronze probably all should look good on her. if anyone could, photoshop them on and see which one you like best. you cant go wrong with either 3!

I say the Apollos or DC-5's. I hate the MMR's - they look sooooo cheap. The GT6 also looks extremely cheap...

It's still at it's stock height. She really doesn't have that much $$$ to spend on her car.

Here is a pic I found of the machined black photoshoped on a LR coupe.

If she's stock height she should have zero issues with getting a proper alignment after putting new wheels on.
