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)

http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/images/mag/mag_14_34_bg.jpg (18s)

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

your opinions are greatly appreciated

Sticky · « **Reply #1 on:** Sep 23, 2005, 10:47PM »

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

Ka-Bluey · « **Reply #2 on:** Sep 23, 2005, 11:12PM »

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.

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

nazstang · « **Reply #9 on:** Sep 24, 2005, 09:04AM »

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

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!

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.

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.

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 $:-\$

not to be a tall poppy or ba$tard or anythin, but i think we're talkin about the the rims that i posted last nite (or whenever)

also Rake: "Drift R" sound like sumthin that ROH does, as it sounds familiar when i was lookin at their website and majority of their "street" wheels end in a "R"

Rake · « **Reply #33 on:** Sep 26, 2005, 08:39PM »

just checked the website now, and there is a Shift R (the pic i posted), Drift R (5 spokes), Boost R (wide space 5 twin spoke). tho the "R" is only on a few, not many

go down to some tyre joints and ask around, you may find a good set of 2nd handies that look micky mouse and suit the car, but until you see them on the car, you wont know what they are gonna look like... too many people fk up by buying rims that look good.... when they are on stands in a showroom

definately agree. tho on the bob jane t-mart, CSA and Motegi Racing website, u they have a "virtual wheels" thingy where u can pik ur car and see what different rims will look like. Tho CSA and Motegi don't hav TRX's as a template car, but Bob Jane does. Motegi also have a Nissan Sentra (or sumthing like that) which KINDA looks like a pinny.

anywho, i'm all in favour of gettin 6 or 7 spokes for me TRX (all this wheel talk makes me wish i had the money to go get what i want....

Rake · « **Reply #57 on:** Oct 2, 2005, 12:10AM »

Tyrepower blacktown, bloke said ('off the top of his head') $260 per rim. Just a touch over a grand for the wheels, which isn't too bad, but then you have to factor in tyres and such, so you could be looking at anywhere from ~$1,500 to over 2 grand depending in what you wrap them in.

They're a new wheel from a seemingly reputable / experienced manufacturer though, I guess you get what you pay for (when compared to your 1-grand common chrome cheapie deals from Tempe).

Maybe somewhere else does em cheaper though.

Dumb edit: This is in relation to the Shift R's

Don't bother changing the hubs over to 5 studs. Just get your fully sik chromies drilled to your stud pattern by the shop.
