Im after some new rims, would prefer 17" as I think thats the biggest legal I can go right? (2 inches above what the car came with?)
Looking at Bob Jane's Cateloge, its hard to pick any from it, not really sure how they would look with my car.
http://www.bobjane.com.au/clearance/pdf/june06_eofy_clearance.pdf
The Circuit in 17" is pretty damned cheap, but like I said, might look a bit :doubt: on a magna. Not a fan of Chrome so most of the wheels in that thing are out.
Is the rims listed in that pdf the only ones Bob Jane has going or just a selection? Would really like a nice 5 spoke Black rim but they seem hard to come by. If anyone wants to sugest a rim either from that PDF or elsewhere that they think would go well with my car, please do so. Not wanting to spend any more than $120 or so per rim, would prefer < $100.
The circuits are like...$308 for a set which is bloody cheap. Is anyone good at photoshop able to chop them onto my car? Would apreciate it. Anyway people...Sugest away!

i think thats just a selection guide. they would be selling more rims on disscount. why not go for 18" if your worrind bout cops just slap on a VRX placard. will look alot better. but black rims on a red car might look a bit :confused: when all stock unless your plannin to kit it out soon.
why not go for alloys. they will compliment your ride nicely.

Got any examples? Im open to sugestion. And as for 18's, well I dont think I can justify spending more money on something that is technically illegal on my car

www.tempetyres.com.au Cant go past them, check out their tyre and wheel packages. Though you will hear varying stories from everyone. Personally they have been A1 for me.

If you wanna look at cheap rims you should look on eBay.
A mate of mine picked up a set of 18's for under a $1000.
Brand new straight from Apec Wheels in QLD, no tyres with them though but i can tell ya he's never been happier.
And for that price why not.
They are Triple Chrome Plated and look awesome by the way.
It took a bit of time to find 'em, but patience has its rewards.
His stud pattern is the same as my TE and off the top of my head I think the stud pattern was 5x114.3.
And don't forget goin up higher off 15" rims, the tyres are gonna be a bit more costly so hold about $600 for a decent set of treads.
If you need to check your stud pattern go to this site.

Hope this was a little bit of help.
