HLC · 12-06-2006, 12:31 AM

just a quick one... fairly rough. but those images of the wheels arent the best to chop with... theyd look better with lowering

auII86 · 12-06-2006, 12:55 AM

not too bad, cheers for the photoshop champ

Is there a big difference in performance from 17's to 18's? Or is it just purely looks?

I really like 'BLUPRNT XR8's wheels, kinda got in love with black/shadowchrome combo. So yea if people can show me some decent looking black/shawowchrome combo's that would be awesome, can't find anymore on the tempetyre site

GlennBA · 12-06-2006, 09:12 PM

mmm go #1..
they're hot as. What colour is the car?

jabba · 12-06-2006, 09:40 PM

I don't like any of them. They have that look of rice eater rather then the muscular that a Australian car should have... What about these wheels in 19's for $3200 including tyres... and if you are chasing 18's I am sure Tempe would have them in stock.

jabba · 12-06-2006, 10:06 PM

My rims

For the street.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 12-06-2006, 10:11 PM

jabba · 12-06-2006, 10:21 PM

Mate that my opinion. I personaly think there gay pimpish looking crap and I am yet to see one that look nice with out over doing it..... I stand by my opinion Chrome wheels are for the Homo inclinded...... or for da fully sik Lebo, moite.

KOUPE76 · 12-06-2006, 10:35 PM

Anyways, back to the 'which rims' conversation,

Whats the nose on that car? It look like the race spec one cut down.

FTe342 · 13-06-2006, 12:04 AM

Here are some shots of my Meteorite AU with the original 18 x 8 Azzuros which I think really suit the car colour. Click on the "more shots here" link and see the car with the Mak Sting 18 x 8's and 18 x 9's. Very few 18" wheels available in 9" with correct offset for rear

Mick

There a Enkei light weight racing rim, called RC-05. To date all of those rims have been bought by the ford racing teams in the GTP class and Dicky Johnson has a few also.... They only weigh 8.75kg and are very ridged considering the spokes are hollow..... You should be able to buy them from any Bob Jane Tmart, They will cost you about $600 a rim... That's if you can even get them anymore..... The problem is, as soon as they arrive in Australia the racing teams snatch them up..... I am lucky as I have a very good contact with the importer... I am also told that I am the only person with the Titanium coloured rims, Only 1 set has ever been brought into Australia. All the rest are white or silver....
