    I like the new ones.. but the silver lip is a taaaad to big. But yes the new ones are better.

    diggin the older ones, I think your new rims belong on s14 and 240sx and also not really feeling the chrome/silver section where the lugs are

    I like the older ones more, only because of what bras pointed out. Maybe if the middle chrome part wasn't there, it would be a little better. I also like the new ones though, because it's kinda going towards the black-out look. But, for me, older ones.

    Couldn't tell if it was the GMC or the Chevy, so I just guessed. My family used to have a Safari. That thing was awesome!

    i like the black ones. except for the center part. The old ones would be nicer if they were black w/ silver lip.

    the more i look at them, the more they remind me of the wheels from the old police cruisers... straight black with just a crome centrecap. i'm starting to really like it now

    the old wheels were 17" with 215/45zr17 tires... the new ones are 18" with 225/45zr18. by the way... this seems to be about as wide as you can possibly go on the car and must be a 45mm offset. the wheels in the rear are about 3mm away from the control arm and on a heavy dip you can hear them rub very slightly on the fender. lucky for me this is not a loud sounding rub and does not happen very often.

    the old ones, the new ones would look better if they were all black.
