[Black_Out]

I think they will look pretty good, if you lower it some.

Just depends on what look you're going for.

[justbob]

There is a guy on the south side of Chicago with these. I saw it sitting out in the street last year dirty as could be, but still looked good with those.

[Dj1]

Yes... Go for it.

I'll agree with you if you come sit in uncle phrog's lap.

[RR|Suki]

[fastblackmerc]

I'm with you!

Same here.... the best wheels on a Marauder are the stock wheels.

[sd8683]

[Blk Mamba]

The only wheels that look right on a MM are the OEM, in my opinion.

[bawazir]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I like em, but not as much as stockers

[Black_Out]

I still think the stockers are best too
if not the polished, the black powder coated spares look amazing as well.

Theres a set on ebay right now!

[Vostok]

How come the old guys always shoot down customization? :D

[Drewstang]

Yes. Make your car stand out from the pack.

[Vostok]

I intend to get reflective red bumper inserts as well to contrast with the red rim on the wheels too. If that helps :P

I think they'll look good. And that you should also send me your OEM's when you purchase them :D

[JOHN SB04]

those rims look real cool i would go for it ,its your car it only matters what you think...period......post up pics if u do it

[LANDY]

i dont think they look right for the MM, but thats just me.
im a fan of chrome and polished wheels

[fastblackmerc]

How come the old guys always shoot down customization? :D

Excuse me!!!!

We "old" guys just prefer the OEM look.

How come you "young" guys always go for the "ricer" look?

[CBT]

I have no imagination, I will have to see them on the car before I vote.

[Egon Spengler]

You'll regret it! Stay with the stockers! I get more compliments with the stock rims than anything! I love the stock wheels!

[Blackened300a]

Excuse me!!!!

How come you "young" guys always go for the "ricer" look?

Agreed, The OEMs are probably one of the few rims of all factory rolling stock that fit the car perfectly.

I'm a fan of all kinds of rims but I will never swap out my OEMs for any other style. Save them for your honda or retro rod.

[Granite]

i wish they offered our OEM rims at a 20'' size. but i think they would look nice depending on the size...18's might not look right

[Mac-MerC]

Those rims dont belong on a Marauder..... maybe an Altima or Camry.
Try looking at some Asanti or Lexani rims.
Classy cars need classy rims... IMHO

my answer is no.... not cuz there aftermarket... cuz they look like Honda rims

[a_d_a_m]

We "old" guys just prefer the OEM look. I'm only 28, man... :(

[Taemian]

The only wheels that look right on a MM are the OEM, in my opinion.

+1.....:) Same here.

[SILVERSURFER03]

Well if you like them roll'em don't let us influence your choise ... I myself like torq thrust wheels ain my stock unfinished spares

[SC Cheesehead]

How come the old guys always shoot down customization? :D

How come the youts are always pounding on the old guys, if it wasn't for us old guys, youse guys wouldn't even be around...:D

[LeoVampire]

You have to feel good about your own car and any modifications you make to it!

I would just want to see what they looked like next to it before I spent the money on them is all I would advise so it is not a down the drain mod $$$.

I would add the mods to improve performance might give a better return on investment in terms of fun to drive. That said, do what ever you want. I have. But then I am only 7:rolleyes:. I love all of my mods, some are the second try as I did not like the first and wasted money on them. Try not to do that. About the only thing I have not modded is the wheels. I like them and they look to me exactly as they should. However, on a murdered out ride such as the great Cheesehead Bob's Darkside the aftermarket wheels are the snizzle. Have fun with your Marauder. Dennis:2thumbs:

[CooLManZilla]

No on the rims

my answer is no.... not cuz there aftermarket... cuz they look like Honda rims

HAHAHA....lexani and asanti wheels are the farthest thing from classy. They're flashy and ugly 99% of the time.

If I remember, Zack had a similar set of wheels on his car (I think they were asa's) and nobody ripped him.

[Mac-MerC]

U need to get you eyes checked. if there ugly 99% of the time u are the only one who feels like that. I bet u think Foose rims are nice.... Ha @ that
Ive seen a Marauder on Asanti's and it was Gorgeous. in 2011 mine will b one Asanti's also.

And if u still have a Mohawk u shouldnt b commenting on something looking good... go get a hair cut

[guspech750]

Personally I think you should look into the wheel on the left. Its very sheik, unique, and cutting edge.:lol:

lol they do pretty much look the same, spray the lip red and the spokes black and you've got a riced out horse & buggy

He didnt even say what size he wanted.... the reference to wagon wheels might not even have been needed. what if he wanted to get these in 18's.... or maybe 20's?.....

a few members on here have posted pic's with their aftermarket wheels and i think there hideous. IMHO i would never put mustang style rims on my MM... i dont care if they were alll black.

Sorry, I'm just a stock wheel kinda guy. Don't care for anything other than the OEM wheels on a MM; call me old-fashioned, I guess. ;)

[Vostok]

They would be 18's with 235/50's. Same tires I have on the stock rims. Not going for the super thin profile, I dick around too much to risk cracking a rim :D

[Hotrauder]

I really hadn't thought about it much as I have always thought that the stock wheels were the Marauder identifier for most people. The thing that shouted Marauder rather than, "look at the nice wheels on that CV or GM. Just a thought. Dennis

I feel u on that.... thats the only reason y im having a hard time deciding if i want different rims. ppl already compliment my "nice looking cop car". i dont wana put rims and then ppl just think its another vic or marquis

[Vostok]

Im not really worried about taking away its Marauder identity so much. I think the additional 70HP, dual exhaust, bumper engravement, fogs, vicious roar and the other large list of differences speak enough themself.

Anyone who can't identify it as being a Marauder....well....their opinion doesent really matter much does it? :)

[Black_Out]

Additional 53hp you mean? If we are comparing 04 to 04

[Vostok]

Additional 53hp you mean? If we are comparing 04 to 04

Well this motor for this car was introduced in 2003 and correct me if im wrong but the regular 2003 CV has 224HP. So its actually about 78HP difference if you want to be technical :P

You're right, these lexani wheels aren't flashy at all:

I have to agree, you went out and picked the couple outlandish wheels out of the pages of wheels on their site. Bad form

Either way I am partial to Budnik personally had to get rid of the 19s though, terrible wheel size for getting tires.
