    The next set of rims !!!!

    OK so I am trying to push to have a new set of wheels by the end of next month or sooner. I want to keep things lightweight so I have been looking at the lighter wheels.. Problem is, I am very picky when it comes to rims. So anyway I have been looking on Whalentire.com for a bit and checking out there line of rims.

    Being as I have already done the silver thing, and I want to go lightweight and I also wanted to also go with a somewhat tuner style of rim. I have been looking at the konig Helium in a 15" (12lbs) in Bronze ... A pic is below.

    I have done the silver thing, and just want to try something different. I would get gunmettal also, that will be another option that I will keep open, I like the way Gunmetal and red looks.
    Feel free to post your opinions.

        Heliums are wicked. I strictly bought them because they were cheap and lightweight... it just so happened they don't look half bad. They seem to be very strong too.
        I only wish they made a 15x7 instead of 15x6.5

          yeah, i wish they were 15x7 also . I have narrowed it down to these, but my mind is not fully made up yet. At the price that tire rack is offering these for. I don't know if I can refuse.
          I was looking at the Kosei K1 but they only come in silver and I think white, and they are just boring ... (design wise). I was also looking at a few rims from Discount Tire Rack, but there prices are no longer anything like a discount.

          Well I have about a month to look around and see what is out there. I am not rushing, but I know for sure I don't want the silver look. I want either gunmetal or the bronze.. I need the protege to stand out wheelwise and grab attention.

              the ones that I am going to get are the ones above. So far I have not seen anything else on www.whalentire.com that really interest me. There was the SSR's that I wanted to get but I don't have SSR money
