Looking at some new rims

[alpineau]

Well I have been debating this for a while and just can't seem to make up my mind so I will leave it to you guys. What should I do keep my existing rims or look for another set in a 19" wheel that complements the bodykit more. At the moment I have 18" BA XR8 wheels and while the nice I think there to common.

I have looked at heaps of wheels and there are a lot of nice ones out there but as I said need some opinions. If you have any wheel ideas please post them up as that is really what I am after. I thought I might throw up a picture of the car to make it easier to compare wheels

well in my opinion that looks great, sensational, fantastic. Sometimes simple is the best this one of those

[HLC]

ill trade ya :P my 16" gutter rashed fairmont rims (thanks to the previous owners) for your 18" BA rims :P :

[FORDEBV8]

na keep the BA rims they look crazy i love the way they look on your car

[REDAUXR6II]

as they said don't wreck a good thing, cause it look good, really good.

[Bucknaked]

I got the Rodney Jane Blades in 19's. I think they are an ok wheel and go ok with the body kit.

[kenz]

keep as is i think

[FRIKA]

definately keep as is.

Maybe bit biased as i love the look of the BA XR8 rims on the AU

[Smoked]

Keep it as is, no need to waste more money on new rims and new tread. 19" tread is starting to really get on the pricey side.

Your current setup look excellent and will still add to any kit.

[The Monty]

Looks great as is. Cant say Ive seen another AU in that colour, and those rims, or any AU in those rims. Looks horn as is.

[JeffAU1]

And just incase you have not heard it before - KEEP THEM :P

[alpineau]

Well it looks like i will be keeping the wheels after all, But i do like the wheels on Bucknaked's car.

Thanks guys you saved me a lot of money - now all i need is some go fast bits

Well I reckon those 18's are an average rim nowadays, they were nice when first out but now nothing flash. You have a big body kit which needs grunt ! and by the way she looks good but can look heaps better.
**** them off and get some 19's at least....20's today are the 18's of 6yrs ago.
Those telling you 19" tyres are too much don't shop well enough, you can get Nankangs etc from $200 a tyre for those inclined.
Bucky nice rims mate.
Not to upset anyone just telling it how it is.

You're being hard Maurie- some cars would look like a homomobile with 20's

Just depends what you like- 18's can still mix it with the best of 19's and 20's in style mate - Personally- I like that colour on that car and those wheels seem to really suit it- for the money I don't know that I'd change it. Ahhhhh, who am I kidding- I'd change everything the car ever came with :

Go for it mate- 18's still look cool to me....... not over the top anyway

[GlennBA]

19" Starcorp fusion in the wide pack would be hot.. or 19" Starcorp Challenge would be very cool too.

[LG]

Pimp my ride... go the 19s!!

Looks great as is. Cant say Ive seen another AU in that colour, and those rims, or any AU in those rims. Looks horn as is.

The Colour is organza, if not something very similar. I have a stock auII in the same colour.

Again, looks awesome. If it were me i'd be pretty happy with the exterior as is.

[v8falconsrule]

i just brought some new rims..i weighed up weather to get 18s or 19s, but in the end i couldn,t justify spending more to get an extra inch of wheel. i've seen cars with 17s that look hot..it's more about the whole package(stance, ride height) than the size of the wheels. personally i love those rims but you have to pick the wheels that YOU like.

[GTWHOA]

These are the 19inch AMG vortex got them for 1700 with tyres

Damn straight.

Once I have a useable garage at my joint I'll be throwing on a set of 19's.

[alpineau]

Now it is becomming hard i think i will wait till i am up for new rubber (3 months or so) then look ak what a package will cost compared to the tyres by them selves.

jimt3te50 i think your car looks awsome and those wheels apart from costing my years paycheck also suite the car really well. The other thing is i think you car is a little lower then mine and the wheels look bigger on the car.

Yeah, same colour as my parents Forte, I just worded it wrong. I meant I havent seen another one in that colour done up.
Sorry bout the confusion.
