    What wheels do u guys think i should get for my silver VX S pack?? I cant decide...
    I'm probably looking at 19" but may go for 20". Story is i want decent tyres that are quiet. So i can get 19" with decent tyres or 20" with crap tyres for the same price.
    Only difference between these cars and mine are that in the first pic mine is silver and has the stock clear headlights and the other one mine has the S pack spoiler.

    "supporter" ride (right) for the win. I like the large spoked rims.

    ru440too ftw

    eleanors are looking so boring now, being on every second car jsut about, much like senator sigs.

    barely ever see ones like ru440too's, so id say go them

    the left ones look wicked - something different - they only looked good in that pic due to low profile tyres

    The way i see it theres three things you gonna thing about

    1. How low is your car gonna be? (20's are too big if your gona go low... you will have scrubbing issues... On the front you will scrub @ close to full lock and on the back you will scrub the plastic inner guard and unless you roll your guards you will rub on the body work too)

    2. How deep is your wallet? (El'Cheapo tyres for a 19 inch rims are about 250 a corner. Also low profile tyres are much more sensitive to camber problems than non low profile cause the walls can't give as much)

    3. How luck do you feel? (Coppers insurance etc)

    Thats'll help you decided if your gonna go 20's or 19's...
    Personally i wouldn't go upto 20's... I had enough problems with the 19's!

    Other than that, your speedo will be out about 4-5km... Any dumps, holes, etc in the road will have a high chance of bucling your rim and you car will raise by a good inch or so...

    Neways, good luck with it

    EDIT:

    Which rims did you decide to go with?
