Hi all, looking at getting some 17" or 18" rims for my TH Sport.

Just wondering what people thought of these.. either in chrome or gold. My car is white so Im thinking the Gold would look pretty sweet...

I like gunmetal.
$999 for 17" with tyres is a hot price.

Nice. Go for the gold with 18's. Would look awesome on a white car. :thumbsup:

im not sure about the gold, but i am definetely against chrome on a white magna.

And yeh damn thats cheap, i might just have to get new rims when i have to get new tyres, not much more expensive :D

Gold, or even gun metal in either size, although 18's will fill the guards nicely. Not a fan of chrome at all.

What is the Nankang rubber like? No point in getting nice rims if it comes with no name/performance rubber...

their gold has a machined face... hence the face of it is silver

i think

I dont mind them.. They look good on magna`s too. They are a little common but i got a soft spot for them..

yeah i like the gold the best...
There are 2 gold options... cant figure out which one I like the best

Gold with machined face (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=ITEM+%2372001&part_no=573)
OR
Plain Gold (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=ITEM+%2372002&part_no=717)

The gold with the machined face looks pretty unique, but whether it would look as good on... Ive never seen either of these rims on any car before.
I want 18" as it would look stacks better, but Im not sure if I'll regret it with the cost of tyres later :confused:

Could anyone photoshop these onto a gen3?

I personally think the all gold ones look more aggressive then the machined faced ones... I don't think much of the machined faced ones at all, but that is just my opinion. :)

Hey

Yes i know please dont point out that they do say BMW on them which i would promptly remove and replace with a Mitsubishi Badge or simply remove all together.

THAT Aside what do people think ??

Heres what it would look like on my ride.

NOW should i buy these first or the bodykit that 4PLEAZN has for $2000

The car would look crap with a big sexy kit and hubcaps on, get mags first dude, just not those mags.

I loooove the body kit, but not real keen on the mags... you can get nicer rims for cheaper than that...

Yeah man if you could that would be awesome.. its a bit hard to try em on when im 9hours away!

Is it possible put 18" and 17" on so I can get an idea of how both will look? I have no idea about photoshop so dont know whats involved...

Thanks for the comments so far guys

HP Designs are an awesome looking rim in my opinnion, I want 19"/20" dammit!

I believe BSA make a clone of these that "may" be slightly cheaper?, they may also be slightly more expensive to, but i'm not sure.
