    Cool What rims do you have on your ute?

    Hey fellas n ladies just after some ideas on what rims i should get for my ute ...any pictures would be a great help

    heres my ute (only pic for now)

    there 19" HR modena style rims but will be selling them due to not having enough money to buy tyres
    and wondering what other wheels look good on the utes

    You could but they would most likely be genuine and extremely expensive, most people would go to a tyre/mag shop and see what they have.

    Great thread mate. Some really nice looking rims there guys, i especially like "some guys" rims, i have always wanted some of those. I wont post mine because they are'nt that special, nothing like the flash rims these guys have, mine are 16" off a VX SS.

    I was gonna get the ROH mantis in Chrome, until i found out the price tag (around 3G without tires) they had them in shadow chrome too for a bit cheaper but didnt really like it, so i went with these
