Afternoon all,

Been looking for a while at upgrading my awesomely sweet stock steel "rims" for some not as awesome 18's or 19's.

Been looking around at a few sites, (mainly, www.jsa.net.au, anzwheels.com.au and local tyre/wheel stores), but, honestly, there isn't a lot that i see would suit a 380, for those in vic, or interstate with outlets in Melbourne, any ideas of places to look? With JSA, found some really nice rims but seems a bit pricey, although, to be honest, never shopped for wheels so not exactly sure of what i should be expecting... price wise...

comments and or help?

Cheers
Ben

For variety, I'd check the Tempe Tyres homepage (even if you don't like them personally, or too far away, etc etc, it is a good range of wheel to peruse). Big O Tyres near Liverpool's another good website, Ozzy Tyres too, then there's Speedy, ROH, CSA, XHP... etc. Grab a handfull of brochures from your local tyre shop (or Google Australian rims/wheels websites like I did).
As for size, don't go less than 19s. Even 19s don't look HUGE but they do look nice (18s will look too small on the large-flanked 380). Lower your car too, if you want the car to look its best on the 19s (or whatever you choose).
As for color, chromed, dished, etc, that's up to you. Make a short list, then post them in the Photoshop Arena for the experts there to chop onto your car (make sure you have a good clear clean side shot of your car).
Lastly, take your time choosing. You'll probably regret a rushed choice in a few months. Good luck.
