Advice on rims :)

[jolly_97]

hey guys, i thought it was time to get meself a pair of nice rims before tackling the performance part of my car. our local bridgestone has just got tyre & mag packages in wit 12 months interest free (good for me!!! ) and im lookin at a set of 17" ROH Furys. they have them advertised for $1560 for 4 rims and 4 brand new tyres + fitting & aligning (good deal?)

anyone with skills at photoshop wanna have a chop and post a pic of what me car might look like with them on? the pic i have of my car was taken with me fone so its pretty grainy so it might not be the best plus ive had the stupid vacationer stickers taken off and a cut & polish. any help would be appreciated

Cheers
Josh

Hrmm dont really like them type of rims, but each to there own.. Everybody seem's be going around with them now-a-days and for that price youd surely want something different..

[jolly_97]

yeah hrmm... im pretty much out the middle of nowhere tho haha, i gotta take what i can get! i thort it wasnt too bad, 17"s with brand new tyres, tyres themselves would cost what? $600 for a set maybe so thats about $900 for mags, i rekon thats ok for me. lol i rekon they would look wild on me vp, dunno why i just like em.

and yeah ure right, every man an his dog has them nowadays but they will look the sexier on my car :P

I like them. But thats just me, i like 5 spoke wheels that arent too over the top. I got my wheels and tyre package from bobjane for $1100. They are 17s. You can prob see them a bit in my display pic. They had a 12 month interest free deal aswell. Im still paying them off haha. got about $400 to go

They are a nice rim, like Anton1o said, they are getting very common. But I'm sure they'll suit the vp nicely.

[jolly_97]

cheers for the replies. yeah i think ill see what happens in a month or so. the sale is on till the stock runs out so hopefully they will still be there after i get me tax back so i can whack a fair deposit on them :P

if they're not, atleast ill have a base to start savin on then ill just go from there...

totally off topic, how do i get my parkers out!!! i got a set of green sleeves for my interior light and i have some leftover, thort id chuck them on me parkers but i cant get the buggers out haha

gonna do a boot neon after that i rekon, boot light is startin to s h i t me off hehe

[Snotty]

heres a rushed one for you

[jolly_97]

cheers snotty, thats really all i wanted, just an idea to see what they would look like, it didnt hafta be perfect. thanks mate!

if they are still there when i get my money together, ill grab them then have a look at lowering and getting an exhaust/extractors system put in.

my mates dad is a berklee, genie, pacemaker (+ some other brands i cant think of) dealer PLUS he owns a wreckers. he is my best friend atm lol, hes a ledgend. thinkin of gettin a 2 1/2" system with hi-flo cat and a set of genie extractors put in. should cost me just over $900

[Doctor Sodways]

You shouldnt really need a hi flow cat if your not pushing out huge power figures, just stick with the standard and save some cash for other mods. Or put some pipe through the cat, which is VERY VERY illegal. The rims arnt too bad, but maybe a bit common, and 1500 seems a little high price wise if you ask me, what tyres are on the rims? If they are good tyres its not a bad price, the rims are always the cheapest part of rim and tyre packages, the tyres are what kick you in the nuts price wise

[jolly_97]

yeah, i might stick with a stock cat...

the tyres are potenzas or turanzas i think. my mate got a set of ROH mantis (not 100% sure of the model name) for his VT, they look wild. ill check to see what he got on his and ill get back to you on that one, but from what ive heard, they are good quality tyres..

ROH Furies looks alright but I like the Vapors better

[jolly_97]

haha yeah my other mate has a set of Vapours on his dark green VS, they look kool. thort i wouldnt copy him so now in me group of mates we will have:

VP (mine): 17" ROH Fury
VT: 17"ROH Mantis
VS: 17" ROH Vapour

hehe good times

while im still here, i cbf making another thread. HOW DO I GET MY PARKERS OUT! :P they are driving me insane because i have the sleeves but i have no idea how to get them out. getting to them is easy but they wont budge...

[dodgy]

If you get the ROH Fury, go the shaddow chrome!

[jolly_97]

yeah i am, the ones in there are shadow chrome, they look wicked as

[R Photon]

the ROH Fury's are sick mags man...i had to choose between ROH Fury's or Advanti Photons...i went with the Photons because heaps of dudes have Fury's were i live...so i went with the Photons to be different...but if i lived somewhere else i definately woulda went with the Fury's...

good choice man they'll look sick

[VP_Wags]

check www.tempetyres.com.au, for that price you can get brand new genuine VY SS 18" rims + tyres.

p.s. i had 19" Vapor's on my old VL, they are a great rim and look heaps better than Fury's in my opinion.

i got anz velvet 18"s on my vn berlina. cost me $2,025 with top of the range dunlop tyes @ $350 each. they are 235 wide and i had to get the mud guards rolled to stop the scraping. so if u get tyres this wide, make sure that they will fit. bu tu should b fine with 17"s

[PaRaDoX]

my brother got ANZ matrix's (same design) but ive seen roh fury's on a vp, they look nice... they suit the car because they look bigish, but for $1500 id be looking else where man, you can get 18's cheaper than that, look at Hakhawk for example, 18x8's $560, 4x nankang tyres $700
total $1260 for 18's

[fazz1977]

I agree, that's a tad pricey. I walked into my local holden dealer and you can get fantastic rim+tire packages in the HSV shop, sweet 17"s for like $1200 with rubber, 18" and 19"s run a bit higher, up to $2000+.

Or do what I did. Inherit a set of 5 spokers from the Mrs. Easy. I didn't feel right thinking about putting $1000 rims on a $3000 car.

[jolly_97]

haha yeah well its a bit diff for me, living like 650km+ away from adelaide... im thinkin of goin over there sometime soon and having a good look around for a week or so before i go throwing any cash around
