a7x1990 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Well i know i want black rims, but I'm somewhat undecided which would either look good, or which ones would flow with the car that i own. im also deciding on if i should go with all black, black with a machined/color lip. I saw this one model by 5Axis called the X5-F they look alright but dont know if it would look well on my car. Any suggestions would help. heres a pic of my car again for those who havent seen it yet. The bolt pattern is 5x100 and i can fit up to 19" and 20 is cutting it close due to a stupid flange in the center of the back 2 wheel wells http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m266/cjmorton132003/PT5.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 lower it first... This steelies Now a set of steelies might make it look good but I would photochop them first to see. To be honest with that car less is more nothing to crazy. Maybe a set of stockers powdercoated black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) yes lower it. black is a yes, and those 5 axis Lambo rims would look like dook on there. Think of it as a SUV, not a car... so any of the newer OEM rims fit them?... something like on a Caliber?..SRT? if only... http://www.rpmgo.com/images/dodge_caliber_startech_fro.jpg edit: those are 5X114... What about those Borbets v8fiero had posted here...i think theyre 5X100 Edited February 10, 2010 by iwashmycar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hwilli1647545487 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 If you could help me buy a new car I'm all for it. You could help yourself by not modifying a car you don't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Im with the rest.. I wouldnt bother honestly. Save that money.. pay that car off.. buy another car and mod that one keeping the PT as a daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a7x1990 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 You could help yourself by not modifying a car you don't want. i never said i dont want this one. I like it because its different. you see to many of the same cars out on the road just modified differently. i just get tired of hearing the same old thing like dont waste your money on that POS or "You cant polish a turd" or many other sad insults.

You just end up covered in crap. You could always get something powdercoated silver. I don't think black would work with the color of your car.

What about those Borbets v8fiero had posted here...i think theyre 5X100 This. It's a classy and dare I say, timeless design. It'll go well with just about anything. Oh yeah, and like everyone is saying get a drop. Even just an inch or so will make it look worlds apart from the average PT Cruiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 You have to realize that this place is swarming with Mustang/LSX suck offs, so coming in here with a bright blue PT cruiser requires a thick skin. Do with it what YOU want. And I completely disagree with whoever said it should be modded as an SUV..........With an SRT-4 engine, I would mod it like a car. Lower it with coilovers, buy some lightweight, quality wheels and sticky tires, and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Lower it, with a nice silver wheel (or brushed) with a lip. Minus the tail lights: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/A4SHO/PTcruiser.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
