    Thumbs up Rims for my VX - Help me decide!

    Hey all. Just got back from being in the states for a couple of years and am wanting to get my car back to looking nice again! Am going to buy some new rims for it as it's sitting on the standard 15" Berlina rims at the moment. So basically i've narrowed it down to one of two types. Am thinking either the BBOSS Eleanors or the HP Design Shadow Chromes. I'll be getting them in 18" and yeah am basically just wanting your opinions on whats going to look better. Ive done some really shoddy photoshop work just to see what it will look like so yeah. Let me know what you think! Also if you have any other suggestions let me know, but am thinking one of these two will be the go!

    If it was my car an I had any cash whatsoever, I'd go for the Advanti Stella. You can get them through thewheeldeal.com.au (they sponsor this site too) with a tyre package for
    like $1,400. There's a picture of them chopped on my car in my album.

    You know when people drive past and they have a car thats scraping the ground and massive wheels that are just 1 big plate of chrome and they think they look like hot shiz?
    Yeah well that have made me had wheels with too much to look at. I have wheels similar to the 2nd photo you have. It looks clean. Your not trying to draw peoples attention and thats what makes a nice car.
    Unless you WANT to be one of those people haha. Both are nice but i lean more to the simple clean smooth look off the 5 spoke rimes

    Goodluck choosing cause it makes a massive difference to your car

    I don't like either, personally I prefer a dish rim, but dish rims do go alot better with vx's with a bodykit ie: ss or clubby

    the top rims are the epitome of ugly.

    my money is either (depending on what size you prefer) 18" VE SS's, 19" VE SSV's, or 20" Supersports.

    Get someone to chop the SSV's onto it, you can thank me later


    If it isnt tuckin, it must be suckin

    had 19's of the eleanors on my old VR wagon i thought they were alright on that, just dont look right on the VX. My vote went for the second set but im not much a fan of either.

    Thanks for all the reply's guys, really appreciate it! I found this http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/...new-wheels.jpg blokes car to look really nice with the eleanors which is why i was thinking those..but seems like no one agrees with me haha. I still wont be getting them for a couple of weeks as i need to save the dough, but looks like i might need to do some rethinking. Im not a huge fan of the SSV's (dont be mad at me haha) but the rims bermudacalais suggested are pretty sweet. #### its a hard decision!!!
