Damn you! Those are the wheels I had my eye on for a while. Bloody nice wheels, well done. Those pics don't show the black spokes though.

Definite improvement to the rims you had before.
Maybe a bit too 'open' for me but nice choice nonetheless.

Despite what some Club members might think, car manufacturers actually spend millions of dollars on designers, who have the job to 'design' such things as -wheels- to 'ultimately' suit a particular car's design.

In the case of the '03 TJ Series II VR-X, they chose this:

Look familiar?

Hey, afterall, they say that the highest form of flattery is imitation...

Good choice. :thumbsup:

Actually, the Koenig Unknown is quite different. It has alternating chrome and black spokes, but you can't see the black ones in those photos.

i gather they started those on the 01 vr-x's :)

Okies, let's just say, for the sake of arguement, that no one sees the phantom black spokes...Blind Freddy - even Ray Charles :cool: (and he's dead), would have to see the similarity to original Mitsubishi wheels.

Whats your point? lol

This guys bought a fantastic set of rims, looks suweet.

I like the fact they are similar to my own yet bigger, my first thought was wow i wonder if i can get them in 19"

:)

love the polished lip! Great rims! :D

The point I was making, Arcane, was that often times, manufacturers do get it right, design-wise, and it is good to see third-party wheel designers picking up from where the originators left off.

looked great on the first pics on the green car, but not a huge fan with the clearer pics on the black car. those black spokes sort of ruin it IMO :confused:

Wow, I didn't realise Cummins had those wheels, I'd never seen any on a Magna before. I think they look awesome, especially on the black Ralliart.
