Well im thinking of getting some rims for my pintara not 100% sure if i will or not but i just thought id ask peoples opinions on what these specific rims would look like on a pintara (or rims of the same style)

i reckon theyd look nice especially if i lowered the car a lil bit

your opinions are greatly appreciated

too much bling, i really dont think they would suit a pinny, in all honesty, go for a 5 or 6 spoke rim, i recon they look and suit the car far better

Must agree with SSStick, just too much bling for a pinny. That would suit a Mercedes more.

if you have a thing for chrome rims then check out Kranzy's, they are tops, otherwise i doubt many antrxers would consider chrome

bigpud2012 · « **Reply #4 on:** Sep 23, 2005, 11:43PM »

have to agree there, they jsut wouldnt go down right!

im after some 7 spoke rims, as i have to agree with the others, they look the best.

SSS · « **Reply #5 on:** Sep 24, 2005, 12:16AM »

They look like ass.

agreed, motion carried

SMI7HY · « **Reply #7 on:** Sep 24, 2005, 01:16AM »

yeh i agree, its just a bit too much for a pintara

Carbon-goodness · « **Reply #8 on:** Sep 24, 2005, 02:11AM »

i dare-say that i'll hav to go with the general consensus, and say that they will not suit the pinny at all. but then again, u could get em and prove us all wrong!

go for the traditional 5 spoke, or personally i'd go 6 or 7 spoke - i've got me eye on a few already

good luck with the decision, be sure to put up pics of ur ride when all done

another on the other side of the fence. i'm sure they'd look nice on a benz, but it's a bit too much for us i think. i have a set of 5 spoke with a polished lip, not too flashy, but has a bit of bling

Those rims look like a 2 year old designed them, YUCK.

Complexity · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 24, 2005, 01:09PM »

I agree with the others, I've always preffered 4 to 5 spoke rims with really thin but well designed & simple spokes... one of the main reasons for this is because they'll be easier to clean than rims with more spokes or less spokes with more surface area like the one you've suggested!

i rekon CSA has sum pretty quality wheels:

I'm thinking maybe (from top ----> down): Pursuit or Dominators (CSA Wheels); Shift R (ROH Wheels); MR7 or Trak Lite 2 (Motegi Racing, both come in either black or silver) for my car

All those rims look really nice TRXJon... I'd personally go for the MR7 to put on my TRX if I had the cash

what prices per rim would we be looking at for the MR7's

Carbon-goodness · « **Reply #23 on:** Sep 25, 2005, 11:27PM »

yeah i'm thinkin about gettin MR7's in hyper black, also don't think that the Trak Lite's will fit unless you do sum guard rolling or whatever.

ahh, got no idea how much they'd be, expensive i'd imagine. I'm only lookin around atm, as i don't have the $$$$ yet, but at the end of the year should hav enuf to get rims and a suspension upgrade.

whenever i do get around to purchasing, i'll get sum figures and post em

Damn we've got similar taste.

I infact saw a set of rims which looked just like these M7's, I think they were cheaper knockoffs (had DRIFT R on the centre), at tyrepower blacktown .. But if they sell them in a package or something, I reckon they could be affordable, as genuine stuff is always exxy.

Simple, thin, clean 7 spokers, silver or shadow = oh yeah.

You're right, we do have similar tastes!!! To me that's the definition of the perfect set of rims for my TRX!!! I prefer the shadow look..

hehe stockos all the way for me... less cop attention, more sleeper appeal

Rake · « **Reply #27 on:** Sep 26, 2005, 05:05PM »

I like the stock TRX wheels, but they're narrow, very few tyre choices available, and only 14" (which can hamper more major brake upgrades, etc). Unfortunatly they havn't really been able to keep up with changes and trends I guess $:-\$

Those kind of rims don't suit the trx unless you have a decent paint job/body kit...
