R34 Rim Choice

[Granthem]

New rim pics are up on PAGE 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys and grrls,

Well i have just ordered my new 19 inch rims for my R34

I have always loved the Koya Inox Imagines (yes popular but things become popular for a reason )

Anyway I have always liked silver cars with the shadow chrome colour rim, but the flat silver looks amazing in these rims too.

Anyway, I have seen heaps of photos with the flat silver but not many cars with the Hyper Black imagines, and this is the colour i have ordered.

any one have pics of the Hyper black imagines on any cars?

ive attached my car below, I guess im going to the sinister style look...

anyway im just after opinions on what you people prefer, did i make the right choice?

Im hoping people will say hyper black was the right choice! here is a pic of hyper blacks

And some in the normal silver

and normal silver on a R33

any opinions?

hyper black

the only reason is i really dont like silver rims on a silver car and the black would set your car off

thats my opinion but everyone's opinions vary.

cheers dude ^^^^^ much appreciated

Yeh i understand everyones is different, but i just thought i would see what the rest of the people said

So far i was correct woot woot lol

Hypers for sure mate....coming from a guy with black rims on a white car! I like the darker rim look, it sets a great contrast to the car.

Cant wait to see the pics with your new rims on!

[LoNg_ShaNks]

yeah i went hyper black on my silver r32 & have no regrets at all!

i definately 2nd ctf_r33's opinion. i guess i should post pics up of mine, just need to get off my lazy ass & do it.

[Granthem]

haha you should def get off your lazy ass then and get some! i gotta wait til wed

Very neat and simple design to accent the clean look of your car,

Hope you picked a decent offset, it will look schmick with a bit of dish

I had shadow chrome on my old silver r33 so hyper black was a good choice

You've got good taste mate, the only thing I'd add to your car would be Ganador side mirrors and it would look complete.

The only reason I haven't changed to ganadors myself is that I actually need to fold my mirrors in to squeeze my r34 in the garage, and it makes it much easier with a switch

Well Of course what you want and what is legal is always different lol. I was planning on 19*8 up front and 19*9 at the rear, however the 19*9 rims need a minimum of 245/35/19 to be legal, and they are too bigger rolling diameter to stay legal for my car here in QLD. So therefore I have to go 235/35/19s, which of course arent legal on a 9 inch rim.

So therefore i stuck with 19*8 all the way round with some 235/35/19s so that they are all legal. No use paying 1700 insurance per year just to blow it on wide rims lol
