Thoughts on new rims

**euro77** · 09-11-2004 09:55 AM

Thinking of changing the rims to OZ Superleggera 17". Do you think it would look nice on euro? Did a quick photochop, too lazy to change the rear wheels as well

OZ 17" superL's looks like 16" for some reason. maybe due to the spokes not extend full out towards the rim.

same applies to Enkei EPF1.

but all are good looking rims

YES!

I love those mags! Of the 4 chops I did in the other thread with the red Euro they were my favorite!

I would hit them!

Oh yeah - lower it

O.Z. Superlegger rims are good, but I think they suit small cars better (e.g. Golf, Evo's)

I personally like the Enkei NT03's better than the RPF1, but ultimately, I think the CN28's are the best cos they are lightweight and look pretty sleek.

similar design to my rims. I have speedy lite-7's. Some people have said they look smaller (because they don't extend to the very edge )to me aswell. Personally however, i like having a lip on my rims (especially when its a slightly shinier machined surface like) they look great when they're spinning. Later down the track i might lower the car to make em really look like the 17's they are. But, besides, it's not the percieved size that makes the rim good its the weight and design IMO.

btw, my euro is Graphite pearl as well.

Got any pics man, I got graphite as well and wouldnt mind seeing what they look like on the car. They don't look too bad. Are they really that light? How much do they weigh?

Hehehe... looks like I'll have to get Volk CE28N LOL

I think 17" would be sufficient, and I can still have a comfortable ride. I heard using 18" will make the ride much harder.

It's usually because of the lower profile tyre.

Damn - I'm in the minority!

18's shouldn't be that much harder man, still a 40 profile tyre. It would look much better and won't cost you that much more. Still looking at about $5k though.
