    Default deciding wheels for silver vy

    Speedy Wheels Australia alloy wheels, steel wheels & accessories

    trying to work out what would look good on my new stock silver vy. I have work to do including headlights, lowering and exhaust ... but I am leaning towards Machined or Black Infernos .. or Wet-silver Envy.

    I pretty much want 5 spoke rims. Just looking for opinions.

    i like the first link, was considering them for my vy, but i like the smooth sides, rather than all the little round bits around the outside.

    I'm for number 3. The machined look with the black bits looks good imo.

    I've been spending a few hours photoshopping the wheels into a picture of my car .... gotta love photoshop. It's really good to have them all next to each other for comparison

    Thanks for you opinions

    Ditto. The fake bolts just make the design look fussy and harder to clean.

    Hey, i just bought wheels for my silver vy ex, i got advanti viennas 19inch for 500 brand new of a family friend, they were cheap so got em, not sure if they suit the car that much yet, ill wait till i put em on ay, i think they will, havnt put em on yet cas pay hasnt come through n dont get my p's until 2 weeks, im pritty much doin the same mods that u listed aswell.

    Id definately go the first wheels listed, a mate of mine has 20 inch ones on his vy ss and they look sik, they suit vy's so much.

    also have a look at these rims called rjr tremors 'chrome ones' in bob janes range
    i was keen on buying them for my car before i got the advanti offer

    goodluck with ur choice

    Thanks all

    I am also looking at some new INOX wheels in polishes alloy too.

    @nicko .. haha yeah. If I get a new exhaust I will not be doing anything like that. Ricer me is not.

    I think the smooth lines better suit the VY series, I looked for months for a nice set and ended up buying 19" Advanti rims for my Black VY SS.

    The Envy wheels are nice. I like them but I wish they came in 20s. Does anyone know if they do? I have only seen them in 18s and 19s so far.
