Because typically you'd see that type of rim on a lexus or some other "tight whip, yo" kind of car.

Guess my sence of humor is lacking today

Re: rims what do you think?

Be careful about bronze on white.

Make sure if you decide the paint your calipers the rim will have openings big enough to show the painted calipers.

I have a red 97 that I am starting to see bloom.

Before last week when I started to see it bloom after adding new silver/chrome wheels, calipers, lowered it and waxed it, I wanted a white one with silver/chrome wheels.

Now my red oneis starting to look awesome however if I had gotten white I would make sure my wheels are similar to the white svx solarsvx has.

I will not post the picture here because I dont think he wants that however if you have not seen it you are in for a shock when you learn what a white one can look like.

PM me and I will send you the picture if you have not already seen it.

Be careful with bronze on white.

Re: rims what do you think?

Yes, Pearlie = white car

I've never been a fan of white rims, but that's a cool design. I would take it in black/chrome, full chrome, bronze/gold..

The rims are 16x7.5 but I thought I remember seeing 97's had only 7" rim width-please correct me if I'm wrong.
The correct tire size is 225/50
