Kashmir to me is a classy colour, so i think some rims with a machined finish would look tops on your Verandah :cool:

The 17" Ralliart ones look good on this colour Magna, I saw some that someone was selling on this site and I really thought they looked good on the car. Tyres are a bit more reasonable in the 17s also.
the guy who was selling them was "Stacky", do a search in the 'for sale' section look for a post titled "ralliart rims", there is a good pic of the car side on with these rims.

those 10 spoke rims with the slight concave curve to them that a few people have been getting lately would look HOT imo :D

You mean B-Boss Elenors.......nice wheels. But their getting common now. 3 AMC people have them.....saw two Commo's with em today....and spotted many more. Nice wheels, but now getting too popular.

Will look ridiculously tiny. Dish makes rims look 1-2 inches smaller.

What about chrome HPs? If you get them in 19s they have a bend to them. Check out Steve's car, he has them plus superlows, roughly the same colour i think.

That is the idea, it will look the car lowered.

thanks for the input guys, im thinking of going against my initial idea and going for chrome xhp dirty dogs in 18", depends on whether or not i can get the right offset..

heres a quick chop of them on the car:

Make sure to get 18s. Cant stress that enough, 17s kinda have the "could quite afford 18s" look to them. Again this applies for 18s with 19s. It all depends on how much you wanna spend and how much guard you have to fill. (And whether or not you like a harsh ride). Your call really, will post mine when they are done.

if the car is/going to be lowered, 17s or 18s will look fine, like most have said, something with a nice machined finish will look great, try and steer away from the cheap n nasty chrome.

a set of HP Vortex will look awesome i think

or some Verde Kaos

infact, now that i think of it, the perfect colour rim for that colour car, would be "shadow"

IMO dished rims give any car the classy tough look like youve spent a bit on the wheels and really care about how they look.
oooh an i also reckon go for something that has the simple 5 spoke look to it...

will make it look tough if you go 5 spoke dished... then spray the calipers... HOT!!

also make sure you get fat rims like 7.5/8 inches across

i'm not a big fan of anything bigger than 17's for a few reasons. once you start going bigger you get a rougher ride, tyres cost more, easier to dent a rim hitting a pot hole, if you have to run a wider tyre your will increase fuel usage and go slower.

i'd rather buy 17's and spend the difference on go fast bits. i'd rather go fast and look ordinary than look super fly and go slow.
