in 20's


Thoughts..

Very nice choice of rims!

Gee its a hard one they both look sweet!

I'm not a huge fan of black on black though, so my choice would swing towards the Hennessy. Is it shadow chrome?

Try being the person who has to decide :rant:

Yeah i would say they're shadow chrome

Nah its easy for me... it's not my money :P

The Hennessy for me. It looks cleaner.

go the black

Hennessy, definitely, they look great.

:stoopid:

:stoopid:
:stoopid:

dont go black, cant have another black on black kj :P

Yeah, that would make it Murdered Out (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62149), and Micjaiy would have a fit!

As much as i like black on black, have to go the Hennessy mate. JM

Will 20x8.5 fit straight in plug and play or will i have to alter some stuff like the the gaurds or anything?
Anyone out there with King lows sps that have 20's.. would like to see the gap between the wheel arch and the tyre, if there is one..

Sp's just aren't low enough :cry:

Mate I got king lows on mine but running 19's. Take a look at mine in members rides should give you an idea.
I haven't done anything to mine and havevhad no probs.

Definitely the Henessy ones they look sweet. Murdered out is okay but geeez how many members are goin for that!

Be different, be unique and follow someone else's opinion :P

What size tyres are you going to run?

Being a Verada, did it come with 16"s stock? If so, you may be able to run one profile size larger than what you might normally consider which will help fill that gap.

Have a look here (http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp?item=Wheel-Tire%20size%20comparer&showRim1=1&showTire1=1&sw1=215&ar1=60&bd1=16&rd1=16&rw1=6.0&et1=45&showRim2=1&showTire2=1&sw2=245&ar2=45&bd2=18&rd2=18&rw2=8.0&et2=42&text1=&text2=) and see what will fit.

I have no idea, i was just speaking to a friend about that on msn, i'm sucha noob when it comes to which tyre size and what size profile.. got no idea

Definitely the Hennessy ones it'll give your car that sweet luxo cruiser look, especially in 20's. The only time the other ones will look any good is when your car is in motion.

the rogues :cool:
im not a fan of completely murdered out cars, but a black car with a black rim with that chrome lip looks freaking awesome
makes the difference between looking like your rolling on stockies, or rolling on freaking nice classy rims

the rogues have a much nicer shape too

Murder it.

But seriously, the shadow is nicer in this style, I say find diff black one's.

I want these

i did this on mine. got higher profiles and fills the gap so much nicer for a small diference in size.

go the hennesseys mate. look all class.

murdered looks ace, but yeah, again, ls have done it now, and i reckon the hennesseys look better :)

Yeah but how else are you supposed to be cool? ****s rough these days.

The fact that everyone has rims these days makes it hard.

both of these styles will be a bi*ch to clean so id go black. that way the brake dust doesnt show as much

Hennessy, definitely, they look great.:stoopid:

lol http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=4qyM0cy2mzg.


Going with the hennesys, but these ozzytyre guys are hard to get answers out of.

They won't tell me if they fit a 2000 kj verada, just the prize they keep telling me... argh

both of these styles will be a bi*ch to clean so id go black. that way the brake dust doesnt show as much

hahahahaha
black rims are harder to keep clean
trust me

and also the require much more cleaning

black wheels also chip with stones etc
which is starting to annoy me

If you read my thread properly you can see i like black on black ......:confused:
just hate the term used to described it


ANYWAY, Hennessy for sure.

If you read my thread properly you can see i like black on black
;)
:P

you can see i like black on black ......:confused:

That reminds me of a movie i once watched:P

Black rims chip hmmmmmm.... interesting you tell me this, sir.

yeh quite a bit too
and its crap
i think ive driven on a dirt road once
crazy

ayne']yeh quite a bit too

sorry, must be sh*t rims... mine havent chipped at all.. some gutter rash (my own fault obviously), but just need to get the lips fixed up and they'll be as good as when i bought them :)
guess it depends on brands...

black bits on my rims are fine
apart from a one of them which i accidently cleaned a bit too thoroughly on the black bit :(
terrible to keep clean though, you've gotta constantly clean them because black rims are surprisingly the most noticable for dirt

I would say both of these would look crap on a Magna, the OP's 2 choices would look heaps nicer.

Those rims would suit a Euro car that has been riced up.

Just did a google image searched on the hennesy rims, damn they look hot on a black car!

They'll know the profile you need, how wide are the tyres?

That Lexus with those rims looks ****in hot!

8.5 ?

225, 235 tyre width not rim width
I'm guessing with 20x8.5 235 will be the tyre width.

My mistake, not sure on the tyre width, sorry.

Just ordered them :D

I asked what tyres to which he replied,

225/35 20 nankang or nexen

i know only that nankang is a tyre maker lol, never heard of nexen...

Which brand is better?

Should be doing your home-work on tyres,more important than rims.

i wouldn't recommend either of those tyres.... if any, nangkangs are a bit harder, so should last a little longer. i'd get a price on changing to at least firestones or toyo's...

probably wouldn't bother with Bridgestone, Dunlop or Michelin in those sizes, you'd probably be looking at a good $500-600 a corner!

maxxis are a great cheap tyre *waits for MAD35l to say something lol* , i've heard of nexen but i can't comment on them as i haven't heard anything about them

had brand new nexen's on the xr8 when i bought it.... they lasted 5 months, rear tyres shredded and fronts bald. :bowrofl:
If I'd choose between the the two, nankang's for sure... but yeah, i'd look into something a bit better if you can afford it.

get the Hennessy the you can be in the "almost dead division"

I don't get it....

I'll see what i can do about another tyre, Any suggestions on which brand?
I'm not after the very best but i want a good tyre.

hennesy.

better colour contrast with black car.


both nice though

jase (TZABOY) had nexens on before, he said they were good and grippy.

i also support and can recommend maxxis ma-z1's or the newer model asw ell.

Ive found with tyres you get what you pay for, cheap tyres = cheap performance, also to the guys who say they are nice and grippy, have you pushed your car to the point you are losing traction in the dry?

yeah, of course...

i wasn't going on the basis on how well it went around a roundabout.

why can't a select few of you accept that there can be such thing as a better than average tyre, that also is well priced.

I don't get it....

shadow chrome is not quite black so almost dead is not quite murded
