Aiight, most of Y'all hated my last rims. said i need something more sporty. Can you guys help a brother out. I want Chrome 18" wheels for less than $1750. I need some suggestions. Sporty is cool. But i'm looking for sporty/pimp. I wanted to go to tempetyres so if anyone can see any chrome 18"s on there that look better. post a pic. I will check em out. Peace

I don't think it was the style as much as the fact they were chrome last time, sorry but I think chrome rims were so last year, or was it the year before? :down:

When I walk into a rim shop I rarely see a rim that looks the goods any more. Jap rims for Jap cars...

That being said, it's your hard earned so spend it on what you like, just don't skimp on tyres.

Hey buddy, if you have your mind sent on Chromes then get them. Me and most of the people here wouldn't go for it, but it's your car and you have to be the one to appreciate it.

Also think about getting 19"... I think 18" are a bit small for our cars.

To give you some constructive feedback, I don't think you can slap a set of really chrome wheels on a stock car and have it look awesome. In my opinion the car needs to be balls-to-the-floor, preferably with a chunky body-kit and your wheel offset needs to be pretty flush with the guard...there's nothing worse than sunken chrome wheels.

If you want to go down the chrome-path, don't go to Tempe Tyres and buy the cheap looking wheels. At least get a classic Japanese chromed rim. You can get a good price on a decent set of second-hand wheels from J-imports (www.j-imports.com). Problem is you're in Sydney and they are here in Melbourne, but nothing a weekend road-trip won't solve. If you're after $1750 for wheels, then your budget for wheels + tyres should be at least $2,500. The added bonus is a brand-name Japanese wheel will not depreciate in value at the same rate as a Tempe-brand wheel.

In your price-range you could get these Work Meisters - very classic wheel, one of the all-time greats.

SSR Professors SP1s in Shadow Chrome - Also very classic wheel.

Work VS KF - meh not to my liking personally but very chrome indeed.

Volk GT7 Noble - these will look great but you'll need to do some work to get them to fit, lowered, cambered, stretched tyre, maybe even lip the guard.

Check here if you want pimp: http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products.asp?...ages+%2D+Chrome

Personally i like the Alexia Gesalt 3, Dolce DC-12, GV-2 and Incubus Paranormal. But thats only my taste, also as mentioned before see if you can save a little more cash and go 19s :/

all those j4p wheels are polished...not chrome.

If I had to pick out of tempe, it'll probably be the zenetti pro or kaotic ...or xp dirty dogs... again out of those choices....the stock 18" on a V35 would trump
