Hey all,

Definitely time to throw some 18's on my car. But I'm seriously torn between three designs. I can't decide whether the racing style, more complex/blingy style or a perfectly symmetrical style of rim looks better on a magna. So yeah, I'm hoping someone can tell me which will looks better out of these three designs:

5 spoke more racing style - http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=306

More complex design - http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=1687

Symmetrical type - http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=945


Cheers guys - seriously struggling with the decision here lol

Definitely not the first ones (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=306) - they're that common these days, people have been getting them cheap off eBay.

The second ones (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=1687) look good and will suit the Magna. Also, because of the big lip, gutter rash is likely only to affect the lip, as the spokes are well out of harm's way.

The third ones (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=945) look okay, but they'll be easy to scratch and they'd suit a small car better, like a Golf or Swift. They're really hatchback mags.

On the balance the second ones are my personal choice but it's really a matter for you - mags are really only a matter of personal preference, unless you race your car competitively.

yeah I'd go the second ones, still be a bugger to clean but!

b well, D.

id say the 3rd ones tbh
the 2nd ones are getting overdone a bit, they look great but a lot of magna guys have them pretty sure, and having a dish will make them look smaller if you're only getting 18s

the 3rd ones'd look heaps hot i think

yeah I'd go the second ones, still be a bugger to clean but!

b well, D.

I have the second ones but in black and 18s and theyre not that bad too clean, but yes im sure they're a bugger compared to some

my choice would either be the second or third
dont get the first what ever you do
:)

I prefer the first.

The second pair definitely. Dont do the first as other members are right they are just are too common and are now really looked down upon.

Thanks heaps mate. The second ones were sort of forefront in my mind and I can get them in 18'' with tyres, delivered for $1400 :)

Thanks again

do they look a decent size? Is your car lowered too cos apparently that makes em look bigger and I'm getting that done at the same time.

What colour is our car? pics?

cheers mate

Honestly, I dont like any of them.

There all knockoffs from popular brands, but are ugly.
no offence

I like the second ones in general design, but find them just a little too fussy. See mine for comparison.

Okay, let's set it straight,

It all depends on the sort of look you're after. Sporty, sport (if u get the dif) or lux.

The first ones are sporty but are so very common these days. Also, the thck and thin wont match the 2g shape. These are a no-go

The second ones will match the TR/TS shape (view Hitman20) and will look good on a white or charcoal car but won't match any other colours. The lip will make them appear smaller, but if this doesnt phase you, then i'd choose these for sports look. Needs much lowering also.

The third set is just lux. For my setup I'd probably go these ones because they have a more luxurious look to them. They won't be any easier to sctatch than other machined rims so that wouldnt be a problem, though anything bigger than 17's in this will probably look like overkill...

My personal opinion, (reference to my car) is the third set. They're luxurious looking rims that'll set off the 2g shape well because of the tendancy to flare in the middle of the straight-edged spokes...

I want these;

The design studio at Dolce Wheels is world renown, for creating wheels that break new ground and set new trends.

Yeah, in ugliness.

Out of the three wheels you posted the second are probably the best, but the problem with rims are they are very subjective. I'd look around a bit more before making a decision, don't want to buy then have regrets.

That second wheel Woob posted looks hot!! The first has been overdone, although that's not important to some (it's a good looking rim, hence the popularity).

Have some balls and buy what you like. :badgrin:

:stoopid:

Why does everyone say the HP Design Onyx rims are so common? I only know of them on 2 cars, one is Slamd6's old TE in a chrome 20", and Nemesis with 18"s. I know of no body else on the club :confused:

I'd go the 2nd ones though.

Luuuukas i really hope your joking because theyre some of the crappiest wheels ive ever seen.

Yeah well i love em :D
And i HATE Bboss Populors

:sick:

a way better mod than rims is getting rid of the rice stickers on your doors/gaurds

pretty sure piv have them on his too

but yeah pick which ones you like best
second ones are ok i guess
Oh noes 3 members already have those wheels!!! Way too common, better not get them now! lol

Not if you actually have parts from those companies installed.... What are you on about?

They are like a Huge neon sticker saying "look at me i mod my car mr police man come defect me and give me fines!"


+1 to removing them

verde kaos. no contest.

meh. I like them and so do the manufacturers. When I get defected for a panel filter or a sound system I'll let you know...

And where do you get "neon stickers"? I would like to see/buy one :)

:pray:

meh. I like them and so do the manufacturers.
I bet they do - it's free advertising.

If they gave me a discount on an amp, headunit or speakers then I'd consider giving them advertising space on my car.

It's the same thing with those stupid number plate surrounds you see with the dealership details on them from where they bought the car. Give me $500 off the price of the car and I'll consider leaving them on there.

Also, you are telling thieves to "break into me, I have an Alpine sound system just begging to be ripped out" and joyriders to "steal me, I have been modded and will be awesome to give a good thrashing"

:nuts:

How much for the first ones do you know? I like...

should find that they are about $2100 inc tyres, balance, and fitting for the 18" version. tyres are generally Maxxis MA-V1's. 20's were about $3100 for the package iirc, 19's $2600

The second pair definitely. Dont do the first as other members are right they are just are too common and are now really looked down upon.

Looked down upon?

Did they do something wrong? :nuts:

Seriously - go with what you want because ultimately its your tastes that matter. Having other people like them is just a bonus :)

The first ones I was offered $1400 with Zeetex tyres which I declined.

I paid $1800 for the same with Hankook Ventus 405 HRII 235/40/R18 XLs.
