My car is a silver Ralliart.
Im getting the rims and tyres from West State Tyres. Im not sure on size as yet.
I like option 1 as well, but they dont look as good on the car for some reason. Ive only seen them one one, but maybe it would be different on mine.

I've got the AMG quakes on mine and think they look hot- that's just my two cents...

hmm i voted the Mecury because its the only one I like... but not sure if it would look good on a silver ralliart...
If not the XHP Sabers would be my next choice.

The black coloured mercury rims would look hot on your colour car, and you dont want standard looking rims on a ralliart, so go the mercury option.

BTW, i would like to go higher than 18, but its getting too expensive for me.:cry:
None of them.. They have all been done to death already.

dump it n it will look 10 times hotter!!!
Get the Speedy Graphite. Nice clean lines making it easy to clean and has a nice deep dish
look. Although looking at the Speedy catalogue infront of me, the Graphite is not listed for
the Magnas.

Mercury also comes in chrome finish.

I would personally go the 3rd decition, Black looks awesome on silver cars, the multi spoke rims look a lot better than the 5 spoke rims, i have 5 spoke wheels and wish to change to something more original, of course you will never have something no one else has got unless you design and get them custom made, go for something that you like that you havn't seen commonly used.
Lower it put the black wheels on it, and post a picture i think your car will look amazing!

Mercury, for Silver car. Nice.

After i do put the rims on, how low should i lower the car? It already sometimes scrapes
over some high curbs. Does putting on bigger wheels lift the car noticably?

There's a member with the graphites. Can't remember his name but heres a pic of his car.

they r the second ones.. which i have on my car... i love them :P
Look around.
Heaps of rims that would look better on a silver car. The rims you have chosen represent normal and 'boring' (no offence to those out there with them)
Look around, find a different rim you havent seen on a magna and get it (so long as it looks good)
Lenso Elegance (pick of the bunch - picture below)

What makes your car stand out are the rims mostly.. Look at Watchme's car.. The rims are what makes the car.
A classic example is the Ford.. Every tom dick and harry have Fusion or Kaotik rims.. ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZzzz
Edit: Forgot to add. Try to stay away from curved rims if you are going 18's.. Get some solid lines happening that go all the way to the edge of the rim. It makes the rim look alot bigger.

I understand where your coming from. I agree when the spokes go to the edge of the rim, they look bigger. If i go 17, then ill end up getting the ones that go to the edge, if 18, i consider both. Ive been looking at alot of rims, but then it comes down to personal likes and budget. Then i end up looking so much that i get fed up with it.:doubt:

depends on the size of the wheel and color of your car
if its a larger wheel at 19/20, then i like option 1.
if its a smaller wheel at 17/18 i like option 2.
:)
I agree with Dee

the 3rd ones are my taste. but i guess it's really up to you.

if ur gonna go for anything with dish, get the largest size you can. rims with dish make wheels look 1-2" smaller.
trust me.

Yeah, i agree with ya on that one. I really like the sabers, but i would like to go 19s for them to look nice. Thing is all of these besides the quakes have a dish. And the reason im vering away from the quakes is that they are $2100 for 18":rant:
All the others are around $1800

Thing is also i really like the look of the dish on wheels, makes the car look like tougher and has an overall neat look about it.
3 for sure silver magna with dark rims looks good
']seiryu has the mercurys. imo couldnt choose a better rim for a silver car.

yeah i agree his look awsome

Yeah i really like all the rims:D
I wanted to get a tint like this on my car, but ive got a black ralliart windscreen decal on the front, so im not sure whether all these things (including the mercury) will look any good?
