Rims

Gonna purchase a set of rims for my 2011 LS soon for the summer tires. Right now I have these picked out:



They are black Drag DR-37 18x8. I want to stick to 18 inch rims since I already have the tires for them.


pic of the car for reference:


thoughts? recommendations on rims?

thanks guys

Those look great. I love the dark spoked rims on dark cars.

Nice looking wheels... Good choice to stick with 18s tires generally wear better and are half the price of 20s...

Those look like an excellent choice for your car. I think they'll look good. Plus like you said....you get to swap tires instead of buying new ones.

Niether, stay away from these ugly rims. Cragar makes the Cragar Classic rims in 18". Go with that instead. These rims are boring and just plain ugly.

Great choice in wheels. Lower your car an inch or so, and it would look awesome!

I just did the same thing in upgrading rims on my LS but sticking with 18's to transfer the rubber and not increasing future tire cost. I think my rims would look excellent on your car. As a matter of fact I first saw them on a black camaro and it really stood out to me. If you like them they are american racing vn 805 blvd. I ordered them from a local shop and they put them on and transferred my rubber and tpms over for 890 out the door, rims by themselves were 185 ea.
