    Hi all, my friend hit a gutter and now my rims have to be sent away to get fixed but if they cant get fixed I was thinking of getting a new set of rims
    What type of rims should/would look good on my car?

    are those the rims in the pic that are getting fixed??

    how badly are they damaged??

    you can pick up a set of VT SS in good nick with tyres for around 400-600

    or just buy the rims for around 300ish and use your old tyres

    or if your lucky, depending how many rims your mate damaged, $50-$90 per rim second hand


    VT SS look good ;)

    the pictures you have shown us contradict themselves.

    the damaged rims are 4 stud. hence will not fit a commodore.
