Default An idea for RIMS sites...

Would be a cool feature if sites selling rims had an animation for each of the styles, so you can see how they look when they spin.

Im considering getting some new rims but quite honestly, have a hard time picturing how they will look during movement. To me, the movement is the biggest factor in good looking rims.

I have noticed that the standard OEM rims look good because the wideness of the "spokes" (sorry if thats the wrong term) gives it a real feel of "motion", even at semi fast speeds, you can still make them out, whereas the smaller thinner "spokes" tend to blur out after accelleration. Just a matter of preference, but there ya go.

How do you drive and watch your wheels spin at the same time?

I was kidding, I look at window reflections to see how the wheels look in motion too.

Default The wheel shop that I buy my wheels at has a computer program that does it..

you can pick the wheels, pick the car, and see them at rest and in motion. I"ll have to find out the name of the program when I go in to pick up my new set this weekend.
