    Hey LT Members... Yours truly from Newfoundland Canada here. Been a while since i have been on the site (Bunch of stuff happening) buttttt im back. Now, i would really appreciate some help/input on what rims to choose. I don't really know what good brands there are. Im driving a 2008 Silver GTS and am thinking that black rims would look good.

    So far im liking Enkei Wheels. Any feedback about how Enkei perform/handle? or should i go a different direction? Here is the style im leaning towards.

    Sooooo, any feed back on if you like either of the rims above or suggest another Brand/Rim would be awesome.

    Thanks for looking! :)

    i really like the second enkei's, but a picture of the rim and its look on the car are two different things

    I would pic the 2nd choice/pic if it's between the two. No worries if you go with Enkei they have a good reputation.

    Should get everything by the first week of April.
    Which bring me to my next question... When do you (or should you) put your aftermarket rims on?
    I appreciated everyones input/help.
    Hope you like.

    *know some ppl dont like the Generals but i got 50/50 on them and ill give them a try for this summer to see how they handle. Keep you posted on how they are treating me.

    Thanks again

    I just put my summer tires/rims back on a couple of days ago. And I took them off after the first little snowfall
