Boostzor Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Jealousy is not really the issue in most cases. Some cars with 19 inchers just look stupid. Get an escalade if you want bling bling. Ppl will vandalise it, cops will bust you and other import drivers will think your an idiot. Id say go for something that performs like you want it, lightweight is better but also more expensive and dont make it too overstated.

mitchy_ Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 dont bring your stupid 'your mum' jokes in here. he asked for comments on rims, you said you like big chrome rims, most others on here said they didnt like big chrome rims. no need to whinge over it, just deal with it. i personally dont like big chrome rims either, i myself have 17x9" rear and 17x8" front white sparco rims on my skyline.

Must be the whole thing about spending more on the body kit than you do on the rest of the car. Thats just me though.

Al Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I like you car, but am not a fan of huge chromies. I would prefer a set of dark spoked rims with a polished dish, in 18" or even 19". 20" is just too big and totally unpractical. At the end of the day it is your car, take pride in it and enjoy it for what you made it into. My 19's have the same rubber profile as 18's, so my ride quality is not compromised, but admittantly i do loose off line performance and some handling, but that's why i have 17's for the track . The 270rwkw helps to get the car moving :lol: Here is a pic of my 'line, wheels aren't dished , but i still love 'em . Here is my car in "TONKA" spec :lol: Using the rims off my mate's Ford XA Coupe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/105790-mags/#findComment-1949259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

iandawsonwa Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 seeing your car is a light colour get dark pianted rims or shadow chrome.
