    Default Your opinion on these rims please...

    I just bought a black VY-'S' series 1, and wanna do a few mods on it. One of the main things i wanna get are some new 19" rims on her.

    I'm finding it hard to make a decision, im really liking these atm but still cant make my final decision. Give me your honest opinion on these, do you think they'll suit me car? (sorry for not having pics of my ride, but im sure you can picture it on a black vy-s).

    Im sure they will look good if its lowered.
    They are not genuine eleanors by the way, genuine ones look much better.
    And they are quite a common rim, if you are going for something unique then they rnt the wheel for you

    ye i no there not eleanors, i meant that style, theres like 5 different designs all based around that eleanor look, which makes that stlye evn more common
    i agree if its slapp'd on its ass they'll look good, but still too common i reakon

    Sweet thanks for the feedback guys, i already knew they're pretty common but i really do like em... Plus i can get a really good price on some.

    mmmm decisions decisions......

    It's soo hard deciding what rims to get, how did you guys overcome your choices or did you know exactly what you wanted?

    Never really considered getting my granges, but after seeing them get mentioned a few times on the site i did a chop with them on my car and liked the look, so i got them.

    Common as hell. I see those rims on the public roads 20 times as much as VY SS's wheels. Everyone says VY Sigs are common. Bull****. I rarely see VY Sigs on public roads. I see those rims in the first post EVERYWHERE. I'd go with something better dude. But it's up to you.

    If you like them then get them man, choice is up to you.
    I put a set of 18"s on my car cause they came along cheap, but then got over them very quickly and went back to the original rims, think they look much nicer

    Yeh up to you mate. A mate has them on his jeep. Looks pretty tough.Though i dont think there the genuine ones.

    IMO i dont care if every1 has the same rim or mod etc. If your happy and you like it just do it.
    Just dont get them cause ur getting a good deal. Made that mistake way to many times b4 hehe

    Come on guys...lets try and post things in the right section. This has nothing to do with the My Ride section.

    I reckon they look quite good, especially on a black car. I thought this was the "general" section, minux.

    Having black on em and not chrome they will suit ur black car nicely they mayb common but they dont look rediculous like common VY sigs, they will also add a bit more class 2 ur car.

    Well, i buy secondhand rims that have tyres on them
    My last purchase however, I think I'll keep the rims this time...

    Those would look good though, if you can get them for a good price, snavvel them up!

    When i bought my car, i was ready to slap VY SS's on it. But it came with R8 rims, and they look a hell of alot better than the VYSS's so they stayed
