[Euro] Mags help

[jonolee]

hi guys, i'm slowly upgrading my Euro at the moment. Currently i have bough but haven't installed CAI and touch screen dvd player, however i'm looking to upgrade my mags. My stock at the moment is 2004 Euro, 16". I would like some chromes. However i don't want the car to look to try hard or ruin its luxary style. I live in SA btw.

The guy recomened me buying these mags.

I agree they look good, and i saw them on a 350z and they look great but i'm not sure if it will ruin it. I will be buying a bodykit later on. But any recomendations would be great. He quoted me for 18" full package, 2300 with the falkan tyers.

I thought it was a pretty good deal. Any ideas?

not a fan for chromies.
Have you tried any of your local tyres shop? They sure have some nice rims for sale.

else, try some of these sites:
http://www.speedywheels.com.au/
http://www.ozaustralia.com.au/

Bob Jane T Marts or Tyrepower also has some nice rims I've seen.

Those rims don't really tickle my fancy. I prefer this kind: http://www.gruppe-s.com/Volk/volkce.htm

[baboo]

Love the volk.. i want the bronze variant on my euro.

I'm not a fan for chromies either, and those ones posted from tempe are pretty bad imo, more a less the style not the fact it's chrome.

Mind you, i've had this crazy idea lately that black will look sexy with an arctic blue euro..

mmmmm, fitment guide says it won't go on tho :(

good to see another person modding up the euro. if you like chrome i'd really reccomend something with just a chrome lip as apposed to full chrome wheel.

I think wheels with thinner spokes than those shown would look really good aswell.

[jonolee]

thanks for the quick reply
The colour of my car is graphite pearl
I would like chromes, but its hard finding a nice style with graphite pearl. The place i am looking at is located in SA and is a supplier for tempetyers, its called wheelworks. They have some great prices.

What style does Pum[Z]'s have?

[albii]

nooooooooooooooooooo chrome....

[h22a accord]

i love those wheels! If i could afford i'd have them myself! go for it man, just remember with rims like that you have to slam the car on its belly!

My mate put a set ( 18" ) on his Ek sedan and it looks pimp.

[kam]

im a big fan of chromies, but i gotta say, those rims u listed in the 1st post look really bad...

[jonolee]

a nice simple thin 5 spoke design always looks good.......

[The-Genesis]

golden chromes look good on black euro.

[PNR888]

Koya wheel Style Inox-1 looks cool too. It is not Chrome, but it has stainless steel finish, which is very shinny but without the risk of chome flaking off..

as you will see, not much chrome...

chrome is more a VIP style look on the euro, if you want the 'local' style, and a good 5 spoke set will looks best on a euro, eg:

oi theres nothing wrong with roh furys especially in shadow chrome on a euro...
and im not biased just cause there on my car...LOL

wheels: what you choose you should like for starters not what others think, also good to photochop some styles of wheels onto the euro to get a general idea of what they might look like, spose also depends on how you drive the euro too..spirited driving id go smaller (17's 18's) but if you moer cruisy..(and have cash) then go something larger..
this might help you narrow down your search of what you want to get...

just my 2c

[jonolee]

heh ok wat 5 spokes would u guys recomend, or any, prob something diffrent but i'm not too fussed as long as it makes the car look clean and not overly overdone

[albii]

bsa 291 shadow chrome..thats what i have or the inox 1s in 18 inch

I actually love the furys, so no offence intended.

Has anyone got any pics of the Inox-1 on a Euro?
There is another silver euro in my area that has basically the same rims that i currently have....... so mine have to go

[Pum[Z]]

Chrome Wheels are the bomb on a black car... Especially on a black euro... Nothing wrong with Chrome wheels..

5 spoke Chrome Wheels.. Look at HP design at tempetyres... I'm using those atm on my euro.. & probably half of the eastern state ppl are using them on their cars as well...

Well Timbo... Arghhh the price u pay for individuality uhehehehehe...
