BMX - New Rims

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I am thinking of buying new rims for my bike, i own a black and red XG STOMP (picture below) and i was wondering if those 144 spoke, gold rims (picture below) would look nice on my bike ??
also if you know any bicycle rim website or suggest any nice rims on this bike please include it in your post

you are an idiot, who cares if they look nice are not, your bike is a POS and those rims probably cost more than your bike and they are probably super ****ty, those belong on sum pimp lowrider bike not a bmx
FuzzyRyder hasn't taken his medication, so just ignore him. If you are looking for performance, don't get those rims, as they do belong on a lowrider. If you are looking for some bling bling on a bike that's only ridden for transportation, then get them. Expect to get laughed at though.

Well, with a bike like that he can expect to get laughed at anyway.
Perhaps he's just a kid that doesn't know better. Go easy on him.

and second off those wheels have HOW many spokes?
third off, dont get them everyone else is right.....unless you want some sort of "Pimped out lowrider" bike...

Definitely get them - you are quite clearly in need of some bling in your riding style since actual skill or brains completely eludes you.

Just like there are some people that only race, and don't do tricks, there are others that just ride their bikes for transportation. I still say cut him some slack until he does something really annoying.

those rims would be a ***** to true
It's unlikely that they'd ever get out of true. Tensioning is another story - that would be a nightmare.
