Niche Rims?!?!?
Hey guys i finally figured out how to activate my account so i can post, lol, Anyway my question is this i found a nice set of chrome niche rims, specifically the F-16 model, im interested in the 18x 7 or 18 x 8.5 size however there is another 19x7.5 size made. here is the site i found them on, www.superbuytires.com and the niche site is www.nichealloys.com i was wondering if these rims would fit on my car, the websites seem to say that they will but i am unsure of wat size i should get and how it will affect handling, Would someone please help me figure all this out, im LOST!!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE *don't* put these on your S2000.
edit - Asthetics aside, lets look at it like this.
1) They probably weigh 30+ lbs per corner. That means you're adding about 12-14~ of weight over stock, per corner.
2) They probably don't produce the correct offset for a vehicle like the S2000.

wow 
, forums are great, i wrote a post , sent it , went to eat dinner and came back wit a reply waiting for me! Thanks for your help. Hey wat rims would u recommend?? i like chrome and want to spend around 2000-3000 
o and with weight of the rims, i m not sure how exactly that affects performance, but im willing to sacrifice some speed for style, so long as nothing is a danger to safety or causing a nasty handling problem.

What color is your car? That will help some with deciding the wheel. If weight is not an issue and you like chrome I would go with Antera 309's. They look even better non-chrome. Put Antera in the search and you should get some good pics.

Take a look here and we have a few wheels that look good on the car. They will fit and will be much lighter than the Niche wheels and be under the 3K for wheels and tires delivered for most of them.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you
