[Cu2} - Choose my wheels!

**mjp073** · 25-10-2013 07:27 AM

Hey guys,

I've recently found a 2008 lux euro traded in to a family member's dealership which i can pick up for 20k. Has done 30k km, in buran silver.

Previous owner had gutter rash on all four wheels.

Not sure how he/she has done that but hey. This gives me an excuse to look for new ones! I'll paste a couple pics that i've seen, and if you guys could give your opinion that would be great! Also of course if you have a good pair of your own that you could show me please do! Rules: I dont want to be spending over 2k on them. I would prefer 18 or 19". Will be dropping about an inch to two in ride height.

And away we go!

love the enkei lusso.

i want to get them for mine but they dont come in 19s.

sounds like a good deal though - 20k for 08 with 30k kms.

I'm kind of tempted by the light-weightedness of the konig milligrams though.. i agree lusso looks nicer.

Yeah i'm pretty happy with the price - the silver is a bit plain, and I can't find any examples (yet) of nicely modded silver euros - everyone does white, black or volcano/graphite. I'm looking for ideas to make it stand out just a bit without going full retard

Exterior wise, just nice black wheels, coils, MAYBE vinyl wrap the roof and/or side mirrors gloss black if you really want to make it stand out more, and still retain the class and styling of the euro. Have a look in the appearance gallery for the "Post Your Euro" thread(s) to see what's been done, what looks good and what doesn't. But there aren't many done up CU2s going around as is. Aus Euro facebook page has a few good ones... and the Acura TSX pages - the Americans always have more range, more variety. Everythings cheaper and easier to get.

Nothing beats the look of the standard Euro lux alloys,get the original ones repaired for the best look of all.

**mjp073** · 25-10-2013 12:03 PM

But i want black ones!

**axispower** · 25-10-2013 01:01 PM

black ones look awesome on silver euro. go black. stock lux are good, but boring.

**mjp073** · 25-10-2013 03:57 PM

^Agreed. They're nice but not very... aggressive? Any suggestions on wheel size? Should i stick to 18 like stock or go higher? (Also, goddamn at 98 load rating tires...)
