That crazy shiny outer perimeter part of the rim will look awesome at higher speeds. Keep that polished :D

These are the rims that im after anyway... havent decided which colour, im falling more towards the darker coloured ones. maybe chrome? or CR KAI versions...

17181
Gunmetal : This is the colour im falling towards, only cos i white car anyway...

17182
Bronze: Hmmm not sure? looks more like my current ones

17183
White: Not to keen on white.

17184
Metal Coat: May look nice on a white car.

I quite like the bottom ones, they are sort of like a shiney shadow chrome.

That looks awesome Paul. Always liked those other wheels you had ( shiney 5 or 6 spokes?) but, to be honest think these new ones really suit the car. Look forward to seeing it on Saturday:thumbsup:

Yup always liked those rims but I almost choked to death when I saw the price of them :speechles

I think Mr Flush Jimbo had these on his White VR4... ?

How hard is the ride on an 18" rim ? I find it hard enough on a 16 . I'm thinking the 17" would be a good compromise.
Those black centres and the polished rim really work well . I did start off wanting Gunmetal centres with S/S rims but I'm beginning to waver.

Have to admit that i prefer the ride on the 18"s over the 17"s, its not bone shaking but comfortable over potholes and divots too.

Thanks andy, nick vr4, brad, candee, nevman & brunty for your comments :scholar:

Phil, ive always prefered the harder ride but once you've tried the 17"s you may find you prefer the softer ride from them.
