Need Help Choosing

[Al]

the bigger the wheel, the sh*tter the ride. i have 20" wheels on my R33, and while there is no rubbing etc and the wheels sit under the guards, ie slammmed hard, the ride is hardly comfortable...

i put my stock 16s back on and it rides so good now! 18s with dish are the ideal wheel for a R33 i reckon.

As for tyre size, the 235 tyre may be too wide with a 19" rim. I know that if i fit 235 tyres to my 20s, i need to shave a suspension arm slightly to make them fit. the 225s i have on there at the moment are fine though.

here is some pics of mine with big wheels, looks hot but comfort is certainly lost....

WTF?

I have 19's, previous tyres were 245(f) and 275®. Only ever had minor rubbing of plastic gaurd liner (not gaurd).

I personally really like the grey rims on your photoshop pics, just looks more racer. All depends is you are after bling or a race style look. As you can see i am VERY partial to dark rims

What are the width of the rims? If you can get 8"(f) and 9"®, then tyres will be 235(f) and 255/265®, that will be ideal. If rims are 8" wide all round, stick with 235 all round. Hankook K104 or K107 are pretty good for a cheap tyre, i have been using them for the last 4yrs.

off topic -

Al, what colour is your car? doesnt look like the factory maroon..

those rims suit it very nicely too!

i still say gunmetal too sammie

[Jaker34]

mate id go the gun metal, or even just silver.

gold rims look good on white and black cars but anything else and i think they look shit. maybe blue cars are ok

gun metal and gun metal i think would look a lil washed out, i hate chrome, but a nice set of silver wheels would be good on gun metal car, make it stand out a bit

[Sammie]

hmm i want a racey look however i really like the gold color hmm

gun metal grey rims with gold nuts and a gold lip

[Flash89]

i think gold looks good with dark colours such as the grey, and also white any other light colour will look weird.

[Sammie]

yea the gold does stand out alot the greys look very racey and nice but not as noticable

[Al]

Thanks

Colour is off the '96 Ford Mustang; It's a 3 layer perl, called: Lazer Red.

ok decided and its final its the gunmetal >< i think lol

[Flash89]

ok then thats your choice, show us some pics when you get em on sometime.

[Sammie]

mitchy mate whatya mean by a gold lip ?

[Flash89]

i think he means the out side ring of the rim

[R33-Lovr]

honastly, they both dont suite the car at all, and i think most ppl feel the same i dont think they want to tell ya, they dont suite a SKYLINE i would put them on a hatchpack, a GTI a GTIR or a CRX, more of a rally type, but the best best wheels i've seen that suite that colour, deeb dish shadow chromes, they looked awsome, but if you've only got these 2 to chose from i would go with the grey, the gold is way 2 much. dont take it personal champ just saing what i think, half of the pplz that have seen my car dont like my wheels, but i liek em so dont matter/....

R33-Lovr---apologies

keep in mind its dark,

[mitchy_]

R33-Lovr - if everyone thought they didnt suit the car, im sure they would have told him, its not like its going to affect us if we tell him we dont like them?

personally i like his rim choice better than yours, but thats a personal thing.

and sammie - i mean a gold edge around the rim.. ill see what i can knock up in photoshop

edit: like this perhaps?

[Ska]

I reckon they both look great! Go the gold ones if you want, but be aware the will be covered in brake dust and always look dirty.

Or go the gunmetal ones and spray your calipers gold, that way the rims wont look dirty from brake dust, well much, and when you are driving along your calipers will stick out like dogs balls, being the only gold thing on the car

Just my opinions Either way, it's a bloody nice rim!

[Sammie]

mitch u done a dodgy job but i can see what you mean lol ! and thats quite a good idea looks real good wander where i could get a place to do that and r33 lovr i understand what your sayiing if anyone doesnt like the rims i dont mind if they say all good =)

[mitchy_]

hey, i never claimed i was any good with photoshop

i like ska's idea aswell.. keep it all gunmetal, and gold calipers.. would look tops!

[Al]

R33-Lovr please speak for yourself and not other people that you don't even know . I like his rim choice, and just prefer the grey colour. Your rim choice is also good, and is actually not far off Sammie's rim style. I even like the Advans in your avartar .

My taste in rims vary greatly, but in general i really dislike big, bling bling, chromies on Skylines. It all depends on the car and colour the rims are being fitted to.

[mitchy_]

big bling, and 3 spoke rims are my pet hates

i used to dislike multispoke rims too.. until the car i bought had a set attached, now i love them

do they make those rims in any other colour sammie? or is it just gold and gun metal?
