Wheels for my jazz

[Paul.Z]

hey guys, my tax return should be coming soon-ish and i wanted to buy a new set of wheels except i cant settle on what colour. i've got a blue GD3 and im probs going to get black...but i dunno :P
wheres a good place to get some good set of wheels around Sydney? which arn't too expensive.

[JayTea18]

Im in the same boat as you dude, Depends on your budget and what look your after. You want that Jdm look i would go Jdm yard. If you just want nice rims i would recommend Tempe tyres thats where i got my 1st set.

You can always find an assortment of rims in the Parts for Sale thread & also the Traders.

If you need some inspiration have a look a this thread

with black rims i find that they look small so they must be atleast 16" imo,
and preferable have a thing arnd the edge to help show their true size.

but a blue car would look wickid on white wheels that have a blue edge (given u lower the car or it will look like an SUV).
rims like these:

although my opinion may be biased cos i like white wheels :/

but take a look on TTF (http://wheels.thetyrefactory.com.au/TTF/) if u want rims that are cheap and easy to get.

if you want rare rims though take a look in the "Parts For Sale" section here

[Paul.Z]

ahaha thanks guys..my budget would be around 1k.
and GU357...i like to change my mind :P and i love white rims too but i dunno :P
i wish i could find matt black rims with a blue stripe but there are none in my budget, 4x100, preferably 17"x7 or 7.5 :(
looking for rims is soo hard :(

[GU357]

17" holy shit dude, i take it you dont like JDM xD

Oi and those rims are $120 each. in 16".
i dunno the width but i think they were 7" wide.

Advanti Eco

got them for 350 with tyres.. good tread too but some scratches on rims but still mad price. i had to replace the front 2 tyres recently but thats only cos there were cracks on the edges of tyres from running low psi i think lol rookie error.. i should have filled up air after races but i was too lazy :(

EDIT: LOL i just realised ur from north para hahahaha u must know otomoto then? lol

[fillit]

umm you can find some enkei rp01s black with blue lips... should be at a reasonable price

[Paul.Z]

GU357 ahaha i dunno yet..i want to see the difference on my car first :p
and sdx91 funny thing is...im an apprentice mechanic and i work at the workshop on seville st which is right next to it.. :P never noticed it i guess ahahaha
and thanks again guys

[GU357]

i think 17's look a bit large.
unless the car is lowered to suit.
even SDX91's looks a bit high because the affect the rims give - no offence - but once its lowered it will be fine

[Snoop_gee]

Just some ideas

Looks mad with the pulled guards and massive camber :D, kinda makes me miss my jazz, pretty good car to VIP with.

needless to say workmeisters look good on almost anything!

[sdx91]

yeah true. i just sent an inquiry form to pedders.. lets see how much they charge for spring installation. i cbf installing myself.

[GU357]

good idea, they will probs try n cheat u, since you didnt buy their springs.
oh well
just give them a call they answered me when i inquired abt getting their springs installed, it was more expensive then buying the 2nd hand coilovers i have now.

i ran 17x7 speedy lite 7's on mine for a bit, and without the lowering. it didn't look 2 bad... they look wicked on my sister's 07 2door Getz :)
you can never go 2 big :) you should see the set of 22's on the bosses VZ wagon... nuts.

true but im more of a JDM person myself so 17 is too large.
also sdx91 has the VTi so he doesnt get the skirts that make the car look low.
without the body kit 17" will looks out of place, like Overkill.
anyway 17" rims are heavy in that price range jump to a lower size and get some second hand ones on here, u will get some very light sexy wheels
