Cheers in advance.

Vault Savannahs are a very "ricey" rim. By all means, by them if you like them - they actually look don't look too bad on that chop you posted. But expect some flack for having a "ricey" rim. I'd classify them more as bling/rice than class.

I don't mind the second rim you posted. It's chrome, but it's not bling-bling ricey like the Savannahs are.

both look terrible

I don't think either of them look clean.

first = too much rice
second aren't so bad, id put a set of those on my mag, couldnt see your photochop wouldnt load though so cant really tell for sure

1st scream rice and bling to me.
2nd aren't toooo bad though they don't jump out and say 'buy me'

your current s2 rims suit the car much better than those 2 wheels.

but that's if you want a style that blends in and doesnt insist upon itself.

if you are after a flashy/stand out look, which some people hate, but some people love, i would go for the first one. It looks really flashy and show off-ish. if that's what you are after

if you want somewhere in between, id go for the second option.

if you want the rims to blend in with the car and look neat, id look at other options

your current s2 rims suit the car much better than those 2 wheels.

Yer i do like them but they r only 17s so that was the only problem.


At the moment i dont no what i like, its like the hardest decision when u cant physically c them on the car..:confused: like i said jus lookin for something clean but stylish, 19s with chrome somewhere...

Does anyone have any recomendations...

something like these in chrome

they style is not in your face, there is a nice dish for that deep look, and avail in chrome

there are a few in the speedy range that i personally like

I think the 2nd ones look great, a bit of dish always makes a car look good.

I dont like em,but i bet most would hate mine as well.who cares what others think,get the ones you like.just take your time choosing.:bowrofl:

Savannah's on a 3rd Gen

speedy do not make 19's for magnas

I've got 19 inch Speedy wheels on my 380 which are the same fit (5/114.3) as a Magna.

1st scream rice and bling to me.

As zero said, take your time choosing rims, get some glossy's from the rim places, visit a few rim places, look at some internet sites. Think of what YOU like, think of what will look good on the car today and when it's a bit dirty. Think of what they will be like to clean and keep clean, etc.
I've gone through about 3-4 different rim designs that I've liked in the year I've owned the Ralliart. (Still haven't bought new rims & still not 100% sure which one's I'd pick anyway. lol)

personally i don't like the first choice you've got up there but if you really want a set you could possibly PM ralliartgirl about her wagon, incase you haven't heard it was written off recently and she had 19"crystal vaults which are almost identical to what you are after.

i know this might be a bit to soon for her and i'm sorry if anyone is offended by this post.

I like the 2nd ones :)

Dish looks wicked on magnas.... they have toughaggressive lines that suit the dishd look.

Cheers for all the replys and yer it will now b awhile b4 i get them now cause i just got a major bill for some repairs in the recent service... :doubt: the car was wrecked but yer at least it will give me some time to look at diffrent rim shops and that
and hopefully find somethin to go on it after the doors get shaved :D

But if anyone else has some ideas to go on a lowerd blue vrx thats completely shaved in 19s... feel free to share

cheers
