ok guys im debating on whether to get 18"s and these are the rims im looking at
one is in shadow chrome and the other is polished chrome with black inserts
im more of a fan of the polished ones with black inserts myself as no one else with a magna has these yet and i reken they would look awsome on a darker car.
And also below is my car with the 17"s on i currently have, if anyone could chop the 18"s on would be greatly appreciated too.
Anyways tell us what you think looks best or recommend some other rims if theres some other decent ones out there not too expensive in 18"s, these are apec AP's by the way
cheers

I am not a Big fan of either of those rims and Really like the ones you have on it now but Check out RJR Blades frrom Bob Jane, BSA 264 and BSA 291 Alloys available at most Jax Tyre Service Centres...
Go into your Local Bob Jane Store and get a Brochure on AMG Mags as they have a Really cool 5 Spoke alloy called Night Star that would look really good on your Car but I am not sure if they still make them...

reckon shadow chrome would look out of place.... i reckon shadow chrome matches light colors better (esp white)
polish would be better... but why not consider chrome of the same design?

i also like my current rims but want 18"s to fill in the guards a bit more and lower it a bit more too and cant find my current ones in 18"s and they would be very expensive to get them as well id think

Those two rims you just quoted, i reackon they are getting so old so fast with way too many ppl with them on now IMO they are getting boring.
97_verada I like ones in the first pic. I say go for it they are different and u wont be following the crowd.

actually they look pretty good. if u want this design, then polished's the way to go.
