    Default Starting to save for my wheels, suggestions? thinking of PDW cv

    Hey, think im going to start saving for a set of wheels now would just like some ideas on whats going to look the best on a Silver VX II Berlina, i have been thinking of some PDW Cv style (not sure how different 18" or 19" will look)
    anyway would just like to know if there are other wheels out there what would look better then the PDW's? was thinking some of them SSV's but the PDW's probably look better and are a bit cheaper. heres a pic of them below, how would a set of kuhmo ecsta tyres go with them? i have heard they are pretty decent and are definitely cheaper, the link of my car below is when i first got it, i now have tinted windows and mud flaps are gone (dont know if i should put them back on though as the damage they done to the paint from being on there, would need a repspray to fix it Anyone good at photoshopping?
    Cheers
    VX Berlina II Quicksilver, need some ideas

    yer I reckon you can do better I had similar wheels on my old car they haven't aged well and to me at least they look very "last gen", anything vz or ve in 19" will look the business imo.

    mm yea the more i look at them pdw one now, i dont like them as much, im sure i can do better, didnt really like any on the tyre factory site though, i read somewhere the VE SSV wheels have different size holes and they need to be modified to fit a VX, is that true?

    i would probably regret black wheels? darker chrome/silver with maybe a touch of black the way to go on a silver car?

    think i might just go with the VE SSV's where would the cheapest place be to get them genuine, they are $2780 on the wheelking with Kumho 245/35ZR19 tyres then its another 100 or so for shipping and probably extra to get the holes drilled to fit a VX, do any sites do it cheaper than this and should i get better tyres or are these good? or maybe i should keep my eye out on ebay for some good second hand ones, although i wouldnt know how to tell if they are genuine or not, the ones on there at the moment all have gutter rash and scratches, dont know how well they come up if you get them machined? do they look like new again?

    Nah, come in 17-22 inch. Go see Jax tyres in moorabool st. I think from memory the 20's were a cheaper option for tyres when I bought them.

    The VE SSV Series II 19"s look great on VX's in my opinion, a mate of mine has a mid-blue VX with them, they look great.
    They shine like chrome in the sun, and look light silver at night.

    had a go at editing the wheels on my car with PAINT, the wheel colour is a bit light in the pic i found i think and im not good enough to lower the car and also the picture of my car is old and completely stock so its hard to tell how they would really look lol, i suck at editing.

    EDIT: just realised these were supersports lol, stupid lying google giving me wrong pictures, took me a while to notice
