18" Gold Rims?

[-=MC=- Coolio]

hi

so far the only gold rims i have found are these three, and i have tryed about 10 websites! most wheel retailers dont have gold wheels and I'm running out of places to look. So does any one know a place that sells some gold rims, even a couple?

thanks

(sorry about my annoying questions.... I'm new

I'm in Canberra, but I go down to Sydney every month or so, so my options are pretty much canberra or sydney stores.

thanks for those two stores ( dunno why i didnt think of them myself, there is an ozzy tyre's near me actually...)

but another stupid question, can you put 19" wheels on skylines, or are they to heavy? if you can does it look good? or they look two big for the car.

thanks

Your best bet would be tempe tyres.They stock all sorts of rims from bling bling to race style.

So good luck and believe me you gona need it.

I hate choosing new rims.

If you got a 33 they look good but ride will be a bit rough.

I would stick with 18"s.

that makes sense, 18" it is then. So what do you think of what I'm doing. Gonna be getting a black paint job on the r33, then couple it with some gold rims, sound good? or do I have crapp taste

Try to get Jap wheels. Don't go for those 7" wide rims. If you want gold, you can get some Rays Engineering GTC's or even Work P1's for example.

Depending what you're planning to do with your car, try to get 18's. 17's look a bit small on the 33's in my opinion.

umm no offense but crap taste in wheels If you're willing to spend on a nice paint job...budget for around 2.5k for nice set of 2nd hand jap wheels. Gold GTCs ftw! and stick with 18s too.

What is a set if Rays Engineering GTC's worth in 18s new?

[Zerrun]

not quite black but gives you a rough idea

I think depending on offset, you'll be looking at $2.6k and up.

Brand new from Japan in 18s will cost you close to 4k landed. 2nd hand sets will set you back between 2 - 2.5k depending on widths and condition.

19s will look good but will give you a bumpy ride coz of the lower profile tyres. id go 18s if i had the choice again

Is this the GTC everyone loves so much? why spend so much on wheels from jap, when there are wheels from Aus half the price and look pretty decent to...

Besides from quality whats so special about the jap wheels, its not like the wheels from Aus are going to fall apart after 6 months is it?

and thanks for all the help so far,

Why?

Because of quality, look and exclusivity.

Also, wheels from Australia are not actually from Australia but rather China/Taiwan/Phillipines where there is little or no quality/safety standards when making wheels.

There have been cases of these wheels falling apart during hard driving!

Also these wheels just copy the Japanese designs. Which would you rather have? The real deal or the wannabe?

alright, so where would i look for a set of second hand gold GTC's, do you just find them on ebay or is there some other importer store or something.
