Oh my, that last set is pretty slick. Except for the faux 3-piece bits, those things should be easy to clean too.

But tires are the rubbery part.

~100-250 per tire, depending on what level you're shooting for.

i really like the third set the best. they would look good on my car. black and chrome rims on a white ti with blacked out emblems and tinted windows. that would be a good look.

I like only the first(in your case eith a white Ti) because have oem look, in the second option i not like the black rims and thirds look cool but are a AC imitation, and the inner black not look i think the first are super for you car... that is my opinion

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.
