Smile wheels i've choosen for my AU, thoughts pls photoshop

photos to show you the car they will go on and you can photo-shop them on if you wish
SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS



For the last month I've been looking a wheels for my AU3 SR in 19"
today I went down to some Tyre places for the second time (last time i went they were too busy)
anyway after looking at others wheels in the speedy range which were no longer available after much much disappointment!! (speedy obsession and another set which i can't remember)

So today I went to Tyre power they weren't too helpful and Bobjane T-marts which the guy in bobjane was really helpful so we came across some XHP WHEELS: 'pure menace'
those are the wheels I'll be getting very soon also looked at at quiet a few other types of wheels including some advanti's which i also liked but couldn't beat my like for the "pure menace"

Now a reason why I am getting new wheels is so I can purchase and fit a brake upgrade to the rear off FTG also being their also just about stuffed. then it will clear and 16s can be sold


what are your thoughts?
heres a link I think their the wheels on the bottom right

Have you tried here.... http://www.bobjane.com.au/virtual-wheels.html

May not be the exact type but might give you an idea.

I like the SR wheels. 19" wheels become too much of a liability. Every single rock, kerb, gutter, island, pothole, stick etc becomes a massive hassle rather than just a LOL RUN OVER IT.

Thats why i love my 16"s, I gutter hop and smash the **** out of everything. Its awesome.

Have to agree - the SR rims are easy on the eye.
Another idea is to get rid of those hideous tail lights and return them to normal - that will make the car look 100% better.

thanks everyone for your thought's but I'll be going through with the wheels despite the ride I really don't mind! can be easy rectified later-on with some better shocks & springs. AND also if i wanted to plow over everything I'd buy a four wheel drive lol

*My main goal is to look and be different!
oh and can't use the virtual wheel thing as 1 firstly they are a new wheel and secondly it doesn't allow for 19s
*hence I like the tail lights it gets the looks cause they look 100% hot in person
Thanks again

Those XHP Menace look similar to BA Typhoon rims - very nice indeed, but the XHP are a bit chunkier, so will look great, IMO.


I am running 18" BA Typhoons on mine:
