    Default Pick some wheels

    I cant decide what rims to get to suit my vt, I change my mind all the time and its starting to get frustrating. I just need a little help....Please let me know your fav rims.

    I dont want to spend 1000+ on something Im going to hate after 5 mins.
    I want 19' wheels but might consider 18' or 20'.

    XHP Jets
    MNM ZNINGER

    the car in question:

    Any comments or suggestions would be great

    I would suggest getting rims that are "curvy" not just straight spoke things to go with the "curvyness" of the car, and a chrome/black finish

    something LIKE these:

    I recon somehting like the first would look nice on your car

    Get HSV wheels. They are designed to appeal to a broad range of people by not being too unique, while still looking good. As you said, you may "hate them after 5 mins", so my opinion would be for you to steer clear of the aftermarket wheels and go genuine, theres less chance of you getting sick of them quickly. I love my VR Senators still

    Somthing black with a deep machined dish would look nuts on ur car i dont think anything genuine will suit ur car 4 the simple fact uve modified the exterior in looks so somthing after market will look much better specially with the black theme u got goin through ur car.

    I have a Bermuda Blue mica and I'm running these same thoughts through my head as wel...

    I'm thinking Chrome, with some sort of offset that's a bit deeper than usual. Not flat face ones. Not too busy, to complement the Euro style of the guards....

    Maybe these BSA's ?

    dont go the ve ssv rims. i tried them on my silver vx and na. they are too bulky to suit the car . they look good on a car with large flares (such as the VE) i am too having the same trouble. and yes its hard. have a look at advanti rims. i think maybe some advanti vienna's would suit your ride and colour. not the god ones, the gunmetal grey colour.
    tell me if u like em. i think i going for advanti VOLT's on my vx.. i dunnno ey. prob will get sik of em and trade em lol

    you have a veery good point, for some reason Ive been scared to get black rims because I dont really like them...theres not many cars I have seen with black rims that look good-

    Having said that prove me wrong and post some pics!
