not directed straight at you tim, but i really hate this modern trend of big ugly cheap chrome wheels on modren cars. don't get me wrong, chrome looks hawt on an old Mustang etc, but very few modern cars can pull it off, and those that can look cheap because everyone else is doing it.

personally a nice light set of 17/18" jap rims are my preferance, but thats because i like to drive my cars

yeah for sure i can see where ya comming from.. thats why im looking at changing...

My preference is for jap style rims, your Volk TE37's and CE28n's, or Work Emotions (which I have), P1's, etc.. In my opinion the rims have to suit the style and purpose of the car, for example a wrx is a sports car designed for rally events, so a lightweight racing style rim is best suited to fit with that theme. Whereas a luxobarge BMW or Merc is more suited to a bling chrome rim with dish...

Colour wise I like bronze rims or polished, depends on the car and colour. End of the day it's up to the individual as it's their car, but I've seen lots of really nice sports cars ruined IMO with big chrome rims that don't suit....

I should also add in a lot of cases you get what you pay for, so I tend to stick to name brands rather than copies.... I'd rather pay the extra and have confidence in the quality of the rims on my car, after all they are pretty darn important in keeping you alive....

what are some of the places you would tend to look for rims?
Im looking for some black rims with a silver lip, i think thats the best look for my car. Also comparing 17s to 18s on a gc8 rex, as there a small car do 17s look too small or is it worth it to fork out extra for 18s?

Got My 17" Gold Anz Mak 6 from Donnellans the tyre men online they were second hand and about three months old the guy who had purchased them had defaulted on his repayments and then brought the car back in to get new tyres put on when they were repossessed i got them for $900 with 4 brand new goodyear f1s so i was stoked oh and there wasn't a scratch on the rims either.

ive got tempe spec... but $1299 for 18's delivered to my door with tyres... u can ram wot u think about them up ur ass!
