    Default Best looking 15" factory alloys

    I'm might be looking at changing the wheels on the mrs. wagon, since it's for her and she doesnt really care if it has big rims (and bigger tires are too much for our budget at the present time and she hated that the 17's on my old VR rubbed the guards even though it was standard height ), I was wondering which other rims people think look alright. At the moment it has 15" Statesman rims on it. I'm no sure whether it keep these, or go for some cop rims or maybe get Calais wheels or something. Opinions please?

    Cheers
    Paul

    only said she didn't care if it had big rims. she said she's not heaps keen on the stato ones and to change them if I can, but doesn't really matter if I can't, hence why I am asking about 15" rims

    When will we learn that what women say is the complete opposite of what they mean ???

    Definitely change them and make sure you get big ones !!!

    ha, I have VS Berlina wheels sitting in the garage I forgot about them.

    I like the three spoke rims, but they are 16"

    I'm swaying towards cop rims, just because I can get a set for free and they look nice on a white wagon.
    I has the VS Berlina wheels on my old VR before I had 17's put on. I sold them to a "mate" for $50 with 2 new tires just to help him out, I'd be pissed to buy another set for more than what I sold them for lol so I'd rather get something different.
    With VN SS wheels, I knew at least 2 people that had sets with centercaps missing and they weren't able to find any anywhere.
    VP Calais look alright, but I prefer the VL Calais ones, but I think VL ones look retarded on VN and newer cars.
    I'd go bigger if the budget allowed, and if I didn't already live with the wrath of an angry pregnant woman lol.
    I'll be getting big rims for my Gemini, well if I can find one for less than $5,500, though 191rwkw sounds nice in a 900kg car.

    Thanks for all your opinions, might jump on photoshop and have a look at what these look like, seeing them on the car might change my mind

    yeah i cant stand older wheels on newer cars, i don't even care how good the wheels look. i just know they're older and something in me says 'wrong'.

    don't even need to do a shop for the stockies, check out gettodachopa's ride: Cheboorator's VR Wagon
