    Default Need Sick Rims

    hey guys just need some opinions on what rims look mad on a white VL, i was thinking 17'' or at the most 18'' , 2 options are the VR clubsport 17's and the 17'' VX SS rims. Can someone tell me how much i should pay for a rim and tyre deal aswell??

    steer away from SS wheels. they look ok but are common as arseh0les. clubby rims are a bit plain - i reckon a VL deserves better!
    17s look sweet 18s look sweeter. careful of 18s if you live in teh country as some of our roads mince them.

    cant help with prices. go for something more shiney!

    vr clubbies are ok and look good on white cars
    vx ss wheels are just plain and boring go some 18inch CSA wheels avengers are nice doninators are nice too.
    good luck in your choice

    Default check it :P

    go to www.################## find the rim and the price and if you go to ur nearest tyre place and tell them the price you found for that certain rim they will be able to give you a similar price or you can just get these rims delivered from these fella's personally the vy ss 18" rims look awsome on the white vl's
    but yeah whatever your into good luck

    well..... in my mind its pointless buying 'clubby rims etc...' you go on ebay or what ever and u can get yaself a set of brand new rims that are chromed 18" or what ever for like $600

    its the rubber that is going to cost the most... so if u gunna get cheap rubber you may aswell do that.

    unless you buying second hand clubby rims or wat eva with 90% tread for like 700 id keep on saving and get a deal for like 1000 or abit more.

    Whats your budget? I like the internationals... 1000 is about what you'll pay for them. I like them heaps.

    I'm still trying to decide on what I want.

    I got mine in a package from bob jane for $1500 fitted, balanced and aligned with locknuts. They are 18" RJR blades, I just love em to bits and they certainly turn heads.

    May I ask how long ago was this? (reason is inflation, I like to see how much they go in 6-12months) not bad price for 18"s including tyres, I agree they are a nice rim.

    You mean those little cragars from the 70's-80's? LOL My 18's are 8inchs, I would have them over 15" cragars any day of the week.

    wait another month and the wheel shops have huge discounts on last years stock. you'll save $200 - $400.
