Default Rims, Need Help!!!!

O.K I have been through the list in the other thread and nothing tickels my fancy, but I have come up with 3 wheels that I don't mind but 2 of them are dished and I think they may look too small as I am only going for 17's and nothing bigger, been there and done that with other cars and have always regreted it, so here are the 3 I dont mind:







What are all your thoughts???????????

For some reason I really like number 2

Can someone please do a photoshop of all 3 of them on my car if it is at all possible, It would be really appreciated.



Cheers Adrian

I like the 2nd one too cept if you're going a 17" rim then I'd go the first one. The 2nd set's style you need 18s or 19s to make an impact.

Im sorry to say that im not a fan of any but a would say the first one would look the best in 17s..

(2nd choice would be the 3rd one with the silver and black)

dunno how good they would look as 17s, but i really think they'd still be a huge improvement over stock

The middle ones would be -ok- on a big car in a large size, I think the top ones would be the pick of the lot to my mind.

Really like the second ones . . . but wouldn't be unhappy with the first ones.

Where are the photoshop jets?

Not the 3rd though. Seen to many similar and they just don't cut it.

IMHO

blackLS is right, they need to be 19's or 20's to get 'that' look.
still think first ones will make you happy

Sorry, don't like any of them. What about XR5 rims, or are they too expensive?

out of those 3.... #2.

I think the XR5 wheels are better than all of them though.

Thought I might drop a few options for you...some of the options I was toying with before I went with my CSA's. These are VERY rushed so please excuse the poor quality!!
