thanks S2o0o

I didn't really notice that they had changed.

Much prefer the 04's then my 07's.

$3k for 18" isnt what u would call expensive, for a brand name rim, its about normal. getting up towards $1k a rim is getting expensive, with no rubber as well.

I guess Porsches aren't expensive if you're used to buying Bentleys.

Went out today to get some ideas..

BORING

Tried them on!!!



Definitely feeling the black/silver design. But i think i want to go a 5 spoke instead of a multi-spoke like above...

More hunting to go!

Just make sure the offset is right. Ensure they come out close to the lip of both the front and rear guards.

Nothing worse than a car with wheels that look ok from the side but are totally the wrong offset.

I've seen an R32 GTR wearing "dished" tempe rims that were bloody 8" wide front and back! Looked ridiculous.

the first rim you "tried" on there looks like the AP2 04' stockies at a glance .


If your keen on the 5 spoke black rim , then probably go with the RS-GT rims you got posted up in your first post .

I think they retail from Ozzy tyres for $2200 for 18's with dickhead tyres .
