hey guys i was flicking through the "west australian magazine", u know the thingy, but yeh, i came accross a tyre power add for some chrissy deals and i saw these rims (att image) and i thought they looked pretty schmick with the machined lip and all, for 17's with tyres its gunna cost me 1499, i asked for a quote for 18's and she came up with about 2200 anywho i was just wonderin wot u guys think? u reckon they would look good on a coccoon coloured TH? or if anyones got any pics of a car with similar rims Or if some one could chop em onto my ride (yes theres me looking like a tool) it would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,
tom

hey mate
i got rims kinda like tatbut mine doesnt have the studs on my car but my cars marone
i dunno if it will suit ur car and i dunno how to use photoshop so all i can do is offer a pic
hope it helps

oh btw mine are 18x8

looks good dude, i wanna get 18's but its a bit outta my price range, to me 17's look small on magnas, dunno why, but i think im gunna go ahead and get em, i reckon they'll look pretty good with suitable lowering, keep your thoughs comin people

cheers,
tom

Nice wheels in my opinion. I would definetly recommend 18's on a magna having invested in a set just recently - but then again, I'm prolly gonna regret it when its time to replace my tyres.

Plenty of nice 17's out there to tho.

i reckon if you go 17s, and then super lows all round itll look good :)

problem is u cant get superlows all round

I hope this helps... I would have lowered it too but I would also would have lowered you in the process lol I dulled the mags up a bit to match the pic quality and to not take the limelight off you too much lol j/k

pfft.. only if you wanna use "king springs"

lovells do do superlows ALL ROUND. front and rear

kings springs my ass.

pfft.. only if you wanna use "king springs"

lovells do do superlows ALL ROUND. front and rear

kings springs my ass.

king springs superlow = 60mm
lovells superlow = 50mm

problem is u cant get superlows all round

i got more than superlows all around.. i more or less have ultralows

i reckon if you go 17s, and then super lows all round itll look good :)

i hAD 17"
but you cant get super lows for the back :'(

I have King Springs Lows REAR and SUPERLOWS frount. looks HOT! (compared to standard. exrpt it could do with another inch or so..
*edit my car with my 17" is in my avitar.. looks good with loweing springs.. still a little two high and no one can tell its not stock.

just get custom made springs, whatever height u want :)

now back to the wheels, I think if your going to spend the money pay the extra and get 18"...

here they are in 17" approx (thanks for the pic HyperTF)

....... and Tom looks ok lowered!

thx guys i think im gunna get these rims but in 17" due to tyre replacement and plus i cant really afford the extra for the 18" tyre+wheel package (might try and get my dad to cover the extra and just say it can be my b'day prezzi :) ), thnx hypertf and thw01f for the pics, ill email em to my dad so he can get a good idea of wot they will look like, also how much will a set of springs cost me superlows font and lows rear? and can i get rears cmpressed or sumthin?

thx for all the help fellas, cant wait to come cruisen,
tom

I think you'd be lookin at 200-300 for a set of springs, and probably 80ish to get the rears compressed.

I paid $330 for a custom set from K-mac and 220 installed.

I suggest getting custom made to the correct height you want in the first place......
although I want to compress my rears another 15mm!

ive got superlow/low combo (not in car yet) but will prolly get them compressed later on (def rear) coz i think the magna looks uneven with 2cm height diff form front to back (sure wheelarches look fine but ur front looks lower then rear)

so im looking at about 280-380 for a set of springs + compression, and what about installing? wot am i looking at there, its just that im coming back down to perth in 2 weeks and i wanna get it all done soon as possible (oh yeh, got my rims today, very yay!!), any one reccomend some places to get my springs done and all, im live south o' the river, plus if any ones got any phone numbers thetd be great so i can get it all lined up for when i go down,

thanx to every one for the help, love you long time,
tom

buy some springs and get Malcom (Manual on these forums) to install for u :) hes very cheap, cheaper then getting a suspension place to do them
