Hey boys ive hit a bit of a fork in the road....

i need some honest and decent opinions.... i have a very dark green 2001 TJ Sports manual...Very Very dark tint (illegal) and Lowered with Lovell Super Lows all round...

im gettin some 18's or 19s on it on monday but havent decided yet what exactly they will be.... but i have narrowed it down to two:

19 x 8 Speedy Graphite or
18 x 8 Speedy Envy Mk II

so i need some thoughts on which ones you think will look better, im thinkin the Speedy Graphites for a tuner look because they are more showy... but the Speedy Envy Kk II's would give it the tough look..

i have attatched pics of both, please let me know what you think...

i personally prefer the first ones... but if the second ones were slightly different they could look good... lol, go the first ones might be too dark on a green car though? photoshopping would help i would but my photoshop screwed up :(

Couldn't find a side on view of these wheels, but this should give you some idea. I personally prefer the first ones.

2nd ones look better imo. Speedy Graphite for the win!

Yeah the Speedy Graphite for sure. They just look a lot nicer, the others seem to thin, esp for a car the size of a magna

The envy mkII would look super tough IMO, but if your not sure just get them to put both rims beside the car in place and have a good look and decide.

I think they both look great... i can't decide between the 2. So which ever one u get it will look great!

But I guess I may be a bit biased (Pics are of my rims - still like them, just wish they were bigger :doubt: )...

I have the 18" Envy HP's on mine :D (different colour but same style) will try to attach some pics, hope this helps......ppl think they suit it pretty well, but I kinda regret not going for the
19's now.

haha! Thanks mate!! :D Springs have settled more since then, bit lower, will post updated pics soon

I def recommend these wheels, this version is hyper silver not chrome, but if you give them a good polish the dish reflects the sun/lights better than a bald mans scalp.

cheers lads....

they look good man... but i dont think you could get 19s becuase they are 19.8.5 so they would stick out right?
you can only go a maximum of 8 wide on magnas with these rims... correct me if im wrong...

prefer the second ones.

The silver magna does look nice with the first rims (the lip looks massive)

interesting how opionions are so different as i would personally never look twice at either of those rims and others will love them.

Better to go with what you like unless opinions are vastly biased

with the widths.. 8" will go to the edge of your rims which is all your are legally allowed. 8.5" will stick out which could be picked on by a cop if they wish to be nasty (0.25" which is still bugger all but would depend on tyres and exact rim size). Then you need rolling out your rims or guards or some description (which would make the car only look better in my opinion - though note last post on how relevant my opinion is :))
