Rims! Help me decide!

Tom · 14-07-2006, 03:16 PM

Ok i just copied and pasted from OMC.. but i want more peoples opinions! more the better

Cos im totally indecisive right now with these wheels..

there are a few rims i want.. but cant really decide on which to get..

Hrmm.. im thinking of some Bronze K-Speed Circlar ones..

but then i saw a pic of a white sp23 car with unknowns in the WA Photoshoot thread, and got me thinking.. my car is white.. and would look sex with rims like that too!

I was set on the Kspeed ones for a while, then i thought, maybe bronze wont go so well with a white car..

So i made a poll.. see what you guys all think..

These are all 17" rims also!

Starcorp Racing Chicane

Panther Vector

ANZ Voltec Shadow

KSpeed Circlar

i know the first two are Unknowns clones, but hey, half the price for pretty much the same look!

i cant afford $3000 for Unknowns haha.. so im lookin in the 1000-1300 bracket.. cheaper if i can haha..

Oh and its a multi answer poll, so if you like more than one you can pick more than one!

Panther ones are sweet, especially if they're cheap. Cheap owns. :P

Rupewrecht · 14-07-2006, 03:43 PM

The panthers are cool!

arden · 14-07-2006, 04:22 PM

Tom · 14-07-2006, 05:14 PM

here are the results over the 3 forums so far!

Starcorp Racing Shikayne - 5
Panther Vector - 9
ANZ Voltech - 7
KSpeed Circlar - 15

I really like the vector ones and the circlar ones..

@Primo - Im not a huge bling fan.. more of a sporty import style fan..

pr1mo · 14-07-2006, 05:19 PM

gotta go for classy wheels with the hardtop i think. dan is a good example of that nice smooth edges

MitchEG · 14-07-2006, 05:54 PM

Voltec look nice, just ask Deejayryry

i like the circlar i think they are the nicest of the lot...but thne thats the kinda wheels i like

Ripper323 · 15-07-2006, 11:34 AM

Go for the panther, I think they are something unusual, but in a good way.

dru · 15-07-2006, 12:04 PM

KSpeed Rims for sure!

Rupewrecht · 15-07-2006, 07:57 PM

Depends what sort of look you're after for your car really. The Kspeeds are a lot more jap-racer, while the Panthers are more of a...i dunno really, but more american-style i guess.

Tom · 16-07-2006, 02:55 AM

i think im leaning more towards the Panthers

Its more of a different feel, somethin you wouldnt see alot i reckon..

but hey, im goin to Tempe Tyres tomorrow, so i guess we will see how things go!

seeing them in real life can give me a different idea than pics on the net!

AstinaBoiV6 · 16-07-2006, 11:14 PM

love the dish on the panther ones.. yer i like the design with the black in the back and the chrome fronts, makes it look soo much shynier..

Tom · 17-07-2006, 11:20 AM

hehe i made a decision on my wheels, and zipped up to TempeTyres yesterday.. god damn that place gets busy! constant cars coming in and in and in!

Anyway, waited 45 mins then they put my wheels on, and a few mins later i was on my way!

Also did a mini photoshoot too.. pics here:
