What do you think of these rims?

[doosra]

What do you think of these rims.. ?

They're Vertini - Hennessy. Does anyone know where else these can be purchased?

This pic was taken at OzzyTyres, however i'd prefer to buy it somewhere else if possible.

I'm considering either 18's or 19's. 19's are the ones that are in the pic.

Would there be any issues with a +43 offset if i get 18's? I'm not sure whether it's 8 or 8.5 width.

I'm also thinking of Vertini Riviera now... Here are new pics of both rims.

suits ur car better then the ones on the front
i like em

[akina]

i actually like the front ones better.

but regarding to the fitment, it will fit with a +43 offset on 18's whether 8 or 8.5 width.
im running 18x8.5 myself :thumbsup:

Me too.But Ozzi tyres noooooooooo.

[JunYu]

I do prefer these new ones over your front ones too :)

[doosra]

yeah... i like the rear ones.... but i'm no fan of ozzy tyres.. but doesn't seem like u can get them anywhere else...

[mp-]

I like them both, but i think i would go with the front ones...the rear ones r too bling for me

[The X Man]

I think the front ones look better.

[Crapdaz]

front ones look cleaner but rear ones look classy

[George euro]

i like them very very nice choice in wheels not too overdone nice and classy go for it id say

[.QD]

Wow, you actually got someone to help you at Ozzy. Last time I went there the person didn't sound/look happy that I was asking questions about the wheels I was after.

I wanted those wheels and one of them (@ St Marys) told me it didnt fit my car and I think only 20"+? I think only Ozzy sells Vertini. I'm not a fan of Tempe and Ozzy anymore. But thats just me.

What about these?

They'll set you back a bit though for just wheels only.

Chris, get CE28N in 19" by selling a kidney.

i like the bottom left ones.. but sounds like they'll cost like 3g'z or something just for the wheels.. which i'm not prepared to pay..

the girl at the front counter was helpful at Ozzy, however the guy was rude. He kept saying "she's giving you cheap price.. it should be more than that .. (which is bullshit..cause i emailed them b4 hand and they quoted me the same price) and then after when i got him to set the rim next to my car.. i said "i'll think about it " and he was like "offer only for today".. so i was like "screw that".

I like tempe.. i get looked after cause i have a mate that works there...

[doosra]

alright time to bring back one of my old threads..

it's time for new rims.. rather than getting the vertini hennessy which i wanted originally, i went with kspeed ones purely cause they were 1k cheaper.. however now i've decided that i'm going to get rims that i want, irrelevant of price..

The options are Vertini Hennessy:

http://www.clublexus.com/gallery/data/500/vertini_pshop_blueGS.jpg


or Vertini Riviera

http://www.elementwheels.com/prodimages/3seriesriviera.jpg

I like the deep dish in the rear, but correct me if i'm wrong, i wont be able to get a deep dish on the rear cause they'll be too wide for the euro??

What do you guys think.. ? any other suggestions..

Budget i have is $2.6k max with rubber..

[doosra]

i really like these ones as well.. but don't know what they're called..

http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/AntonioAlvendia/Car%20MiniFeatures/MG_9579_JZS161%20copy.jpg

anyone know where i could get something similar to this..

[SPQR]

To each his own! None are to my taste except the ones you had on the front. They are class not bling. The rest are bling.

[aday]

The options are Vertini Hennessy... or Vertini Riviera

If it's gonna be one of those two, I'd go the Hennessy personally.

[euro_tr4sh]

ive alwayse like the vertini henessey... go with them i reckon

[doosra]

i'd be tempted if i knew where to get them..

i've always liked the hennessy.. so might just get them.. really want deep dish though

[NDU19E]

yeh i likem..but its been done mate.

go for a 20 inch lol youll regreat 19's lol

[dupac->]

20'' chrome. isnt that right INDULGE!
hahah

[Rein]

20'' chrome. isnt that right INDULGE!
hahah

Go 20" and see how long you'll last.... $1000min for all four corners every few months.. Pot holes and Highway patrols will be your new bestfriend. But if you have bigger balls than i do.. GO FOR IT!! itll look better than 18"s thats for sure. yes i have small balls..

[NVD52K]

tempe ftw, ozzy tyres will only talk to you good if you have money he's an absolute wanker! go forgiatto if you have money my mate ordered in at ozzy tyres for his is250 for around 6.5k there worth around 12 now but guantee no one to have them here in australia chris brown and all the famous people wack them rims on the car

[doosra]

yeah.. i'll probably go 20's..

Rein, why do you think they'll last only a few months.. ? i'm sure they'll last just the same as 18's wouldn't they.. ?

[Rein]

yeah.. i'll probably go 20's..

Rein, why do you think they'll last only a few months.. ? i'm sure they'll last just the same as 18's wouldn't they.. ?

Thinner profile, wheels are heavy so more pressure on tyres, if your dropped and no camber kit, you'll need to keep rotating your tyres around. 18s will last u longer on tyres IMO.. Also Winter night + Rain + Pot Holes + 6000K+HIDS = Dangerous.. you'll either crack or dent your wheels hitting a pot hole covered in water. Even my Forged 20" got dented hitting a pot hole covered in rain at 60KM/H.

[doosra]

jesus... that's turned me right off.. hahahaha..
i think it's going to be either 19's or 20's..

the profile for 19's would be 35 yeah.. ? i'm currently running my 18's on 40's..i think and it's not that bad..

my car is dropped with camber kit though.... i guess it's the pot holes that will be the main worry..

do you guys know what the spec's for the 16" euro stockies are.. i just want to do some calculations with a tire size calculator

[NDU19E]

with such large profile tyres, they wont be suitable for your car.

I think 30's will be ok..

i have 30's with 20" by 8 - no worries, hit pot holes, nothing goes wrong..

it just depends on how u drive to be honest.. since i got the rims, i know that i have slowed down when taking corners and stuff.. so its kinda better :)

yeah its depends on how you drive and how bad the road condition is... if the potholes is soooo deep and the rain is very heavy. it can cause problem eventhough you run @ 40km/h.

Personally I think 19" is better than 20". willing to go there before but cancel coz the tyre price is way more expensive than 18" :(

i reckon go for somthing like these ones??... they are hot..

[doosra]

hahah nahh i didnt think they wouldbe :)

nahh some people like the full on chrome.. i didnt want like full on this time so i went with the status marshells..

i was gunna do for the leonhardts (the ones u like) but they were more expensive.

[SPQR]

Go 20" ......if you have bigger balls than i do.. GO FOR IT!! itll look better than 18"s thats for sure. yes i have small balls..

Lol! The size of your balls is inversely proportional to the size of your car's rims. Small ball people need big rims to compensate.

[Stig]

damn, my balls must be tiny...:D:thumbsup:

[tony1234]

damn, my balls must be tiny...:D:thumbsup:
Me too,i have 17s.What about Aaron he has 16s.lol.:p

[Jimsa]

They look tuff as!

I've seen the Hennessy's on an F6 and the dish at the rear looks sexy, plus allows for wider rubber.

[felixd]

Me too,i have 17s.What about Aaron he has 16s.lol.:p

wider rubber? i think the less rubber the better! hehehe

[Jimsa]

He's got more power than mine, so he struggles with traction even with the wider tyres. They do stuff all but they look tuff as :thumbsup:

[arthhtra]

So did you get those rims in the end? how much did they cost?

[SPQR]

Me too,i have 17s.What about Aaron he has 16s.lol.:p

I said "inversely proportional" which means the smaller the rims, the bigger the balls. You should have more respect for Aaron!

It's bit like the system used to measure the "bore" of a shotgun (or cannon for that matter). A 16 gauge shotgun has a bigger bore than a 20 gauge shotgun even though 20 is a bigger number than 16. The number represents the denominator and so the bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction. A 16 gauge shotgun means that it's bore diameter fits a solid spherical ball of pure lead that weighs 1/16th of a pound. A 20 gauge shotgun means that it's bore diameter fits a solid spherical ball of pure lead that weighs 1/20th of a pound.

Mind you, I don't really know the connection between wheel diameter and size of balls but women seem to equate a big powerful engine with a small dick so maybe larger diameter wheels equate to smaller balls as they are both roughly round in nature.

What was the topic again?

[doosra]

So did you get those rims in the end? how much did they cost?

i'm planning on getting them on the weekend..

they cost 2.4k for 19's with rubber and i think 2.6k for 20's.. still deciding which size.. so willl wait and see when i get there on saturday..

[hotdc2]

for $200 extra get teh 19s will still look heaps hot and will leave more money for better rubber. are you getting the rims from the original post though? they looked pretty schmick..

post pics up when you're done eitherway

[doosra]

yeah i'm getting them from the original post.. but still debating on 19's or 20's.. lol.
i'll definitely take pics once i'm done..

[Atjo]

i reckon go for somthing like these ones??... they are hot..

This rim reminds me of my old Dronell rims.

well i ended up getting the wheels.. ended up going for 20" Hennessy... massive scrubbing though when i turn corners or hit a bump...

i got the top part of the rear guards rolled but it's still scrubbing on the rear part of the rear guard... so I need to get that fixed up next saturday.. also the front is hitting the plastic when hit bumps.. can i just cut away at the plastic under the front guards.. ??

20's look great.. but 18's are so much more fun to drive as you dont have to worry about scrubbing and you can take corners at greater speeds..

[Atjo]

Yeah, it's an old one though. I only submitted because of the give-away pack hehe

the Load rating is 98 on CU2... Do any low profile tyres ever have that load rating? all i can find is 93 for 19 inch

best looking wheels ive seen so far. those were my first choice but a bit too wide with 8.5
10/10 !

[Crapdaz]

looks good on angle but from sideon it looks a bit funny cause wheels stand out... but nice clean car buddy.

[denot]

nope... I've research this before and cant find any... have to use lower load rate for 19" low profile... (dunno why they put 98 for CU2 though, the Accord Thai is still 92 and the car is a lot heavier than CU2)

[defibros]

Anyone knows if i can find similar style like these rims?

check your local ozzy tyres, tempe tyres, talebtyres or whatever.
I'm sure they have the audi replicas forsale with a cheapo tyre package.

link above is for 18"

19" - http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=1142

You'll need to confirm what offset they are though, no lower than +40 for the euro.

[doosra]

i believe audi stud patter is 5 x 112 which won't fit on the euro. The replica wheels generally only come in their certain stud pattern, but you might want to check.

they do look very nice though

yeh your right,

if they are to Audi standards (PCD 5x112) then he needs to find out if the PCD is correct from the supplier to suit the euro of PCD 5x114.3 and offset between +40 to +55.

[defibros]

check the website and saw others which looks not bad as well

Those racing harts look great! nice find! I've got similar looking Eurohart wheels that are made by the same company, Hart. To be honest i prefer yours over mine haha.

[NDU19E]

What you guys reckon of these rims??

http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/tt293/ndu19e/IMG_0056.jpg

[Euro08Jaz]

Personally not what im into but im sure they would get alot of attention, i havent really seen a set of rims that i really like on the euro apart from georges which grew on me. I've got a mocha euro and im struggling to decide which rims i should get, i dunno if i want to bling it with 20" or which a nice set of lightweight 18", i originally liked the wedsports sa70s in bronze but now im not sure.

[defibros]

i am in the same boat
dont know which way to go....


VIP style or JDM style :(

[NDU19E]

what about these then?? half half i reckon lol jdm and VIP lol

They look good if you want VIP style.^^^^As above you'll get noticed with those rims.

[Euro08Jaz]

what about these then?? half half i reckon lol jdm and VIP lol

I really like them i reckon they suit the euro, i've seen one with a gold inner lip which looks nice, I wish you could buy some nice big rims that look VIP but were lightweight and reasonably priced. But yea i reckon im going to get something like that until my engine warranty runs out.

[defibros]

saw these ...what do u guys think of my euro?

Yea dont like them, but they maylook alright on the car with a nice drop.

[denot]

^^^ same as those 2 prev post... dont like them

[NDU19E]

i could see that kinda profile tyre and rim lookin sex on a euro.. but in my opinion, that would be my first choice of pattern.

Euro08Jaz - Yeah im hopefully gettin a set soon. Need to import them from Japan or somthing. Hopefully by the end of this month ill havem :)

Go 20" and see how long you'll last.... $1000min for all four corners every few months.. Pot holes and Highway patrols will be your new bestfriend. But if you have bigger balls than i do.. GO FOR IT!! itll look better than 18"s thats for sure. yes i have small balls..

No.1 and maybe no.3.

All 3 are too cheap looking to be VIP,
Seriously spend a bit more money and buy something decent,
VIP style is high class and expensive, those 3 wheels look cheap azz..

there's a set of zenettti flow:

currently asking 1.5k with near new tyres.. could be negotiable as well..

or these kspeed biaggi's for $1400

actually the biaggi's are sold already.. my bad

Who said anything about throwing heaps of money into rims?
I said spend abit more, not heaps more,

Shop smart, and u will find VIP style wheels for a good price!

"VIP" style cannot be earned by cheap imitation wheels.

anyone in Sydney can try fit on a euro for me as i am in Perth? :D

[doosra]

i dont think you'll need anyone to try them on.. just call tempe and ask them.. find out the offset and the width.. it'll probably be max width of 8.. so should be fine and i'm sure they'll have at least a +42 offset..

[by-life]

I prefer front one

really that bad?

[Crapdaz]

yeh not for a graphite car.

graphite i'd stick with either jdm styled racer wheels or i'd go shadow chrome wheels for a baller look.

But if you like them get them, we aren't the boss of your decision...and also that your car will look special to you is all that matters. :p

[ummmz]

^ yeah i agree with the above statement.
are you lowered?

[NDU19E]

nah bro no way on those rims... reall bad... again black car is a maybe lol

It looks good if you're into VIP style. It doesn't matter what colour is your car but it does look good in black or white car.

its up to you mate... your car, your decision... but I wouldnt even pick it for VIP looks too... er... cheap? :p

There a Expensive brand japanese wheel,

I used to see a indo owned black euro dumped with those wheels around market city back in 2005, it was beautiful,

I think they look great as long as u deck the car, but u have to deck the car or else they will look shit as it is a full faced rim with a unique style and it will look to busy.

Also by the looks of the rears they will rub, once lowered what are the specs of the wheels?

ooohhhhh man.. u will definitly need camber kit, with the rear if you want no finger gap drop, ull need to roll your guards. if you dont have camber kit, u might need to get spacers to avoid the wheels hitting the suspension. Good luck man, dw my wheels did not fit on my car, but if you love those wheels as much as i love mine, u will find a way to make it fit. i did! =)

hahaha, ur a funny one Alfa!
Yeah u have to love to make it fit,
That what its all about if u want the hella flush look hahaha
Yeah +42 is a high offset u will inside scaping bad once u deck it,
